Humans need to eat, but with inflation affecting so many Americans, it’s not as cheap to eat as it was a year ago. According to GoBankingRates, groceries cost on average between $150 to $300 per month per person, varying on location, dietary choices and spending habits. 

While annual food-at-home prices usually increase 2.0 percent each year, the average annual food-at-home price from 2021 to 2022 increased 11.4 percent, higher than any retail food price inflation since 2002, according to the USDA Economic Research Service.
