Much does it actually cost to live in New York City as a frugal couple on a budget? Let me tell you. We pay $2,800 for a one bed, one bath near Columbus Circle. This apartment has a lot of lore. If you're new here, there's a ton of videos on everything wrong with this apartment, but it is a good deal. One of our most criticized expenses is how much we spend on groceries, and this is primarily because we try to eat organic whole foods. On the month of July, we spent $1,210 on groceries. Eating out, we spent $617. Miscellaneous home items, 73. Transportation, which in the summer has gone way up because we've been riding worse tier bikes, which, unfortunately, are more expensive than the subway. No we spent $532. Build in subscriptions, which includes things like our phones, insurance, subscriptions, all that kind of stuff, $671. Fitness, which covers my class pass and my husband's extremely cheap gym membership, was a $159. Buying coffee and matcha out, we know that this is a way we could cut back, but it's one of our favorite things to do together. We spent $237. Apartment utilities, $212. Shopping, which not only includes, like, personal things like haircare, Sephora, things for the house, clothes, better, we spent tier, then miscellaneous tier. Bringing our total spend for the month of July to $7,840, come back for a more detailed spend on groceries, and how the heck we spend $1,200 a month on groceries.
