My estimate of $500 is a bit on the conservative side, because if I am not careful in my groceries shopping, it could get as high as $700. Maybe I live in Socal so things are a bit more expensive here. Also, my diet consists of mostly fish an sushi so that could add to the cost.
I once made a visit to my sister in Seattle and we decided to do a barbecue. We went shopping together and bought some salmon, some fancy beef and a bunch of other stuffs and the total cost was about $200. And that is just for one barbecue albeit a fancy one.

Pizza Hut is charging $30 for a small pizza now? WTF. That makes me feel better about spending $20 a week on fresh Blueberries. High quality fresh meats and produce are expensive - no doubt about it. But a pizza from Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa Johns or any of those chains that costs more than $10 seems too much to me.
SoCal is expensive for almost everything. If there’s one thing that might be more affordable, my guess would have been fresh food since a lot of it comes from CA and therefore transport costs should be lower. I guess that’s not the case.
