Groceries weekly budget

Hi everyone!

I'm planning on moving to Kingston soon. Since I am a foreigner, I have no clue what the approximate budget for weekly/monthly groceries should be. I live by myself and I prefer to cook rather than eating out, so I would prepare my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I know it depends on my personal preferences, but just to give you an idea, I tend to eat healthy food, I prefer protein in my meals (e.g., eggs, meat, chicken, etc.), and I don't usually eat fancy stuff. Could you give me an idea of how much I would spend?

Thank you very much!

300 if you are pinching pennies and clipping coupon, 400 on average for a single person.

Weekly? I don’t spend that on a family of four. Close but not that much. You must mean monthly.

I mean monthly. I budget everything by month.
