Reasonable food budget- off-campus

Parents Forum

<p>Cardinal, there’s this thread from several weeks ago: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1150988-whats-reasonable-weekly-groceries.html?highlight=food+off+campus[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1150988-whats-reasonable-weekly-groceries.html?highlight=food+off+campus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Also, I posted the same question in the Northwestern U. forum, in order to get numbers more specific to the food costs in Evanston.</p>

<p>Like SLU Mom, I want to cover basic groceries, but don’t want to be subsidizing beer or more than the occasional restaurant meal. Like you, I also plan to stock the pantry with staples and basics at the beginning of the school year.</p>
