I give my wife everyday about $15 each day to prepare lunch and dinner for just only the 2 of us.She can cook fish,soup and meat for each meal( ie for both lunch and dinner).She normally is able to buy within $15 or exceed slighlty but with rising inflation do U think I need to increase to $20.I am drawing about $4k each month but still has a mortage loan to service.This $15 excludes the fruits that we’ll have before eaach meal.Is this the norm of most young couple.Your comments please

It's your wife that you gave money to spend on market to buy food.
not to your maid -_-if your wife understand that you are having problem forking out the extra $5 everyday.
I supposed she will still keep it to $15++ and then save the rest for the rainy days.I'm not married and not tied to any mortage loans.
So you can just considered my 2cents.

$15/day for marketing is too little. Sillypore’s definition of ‘Marketing’ has been cheapened. Ask any employer and they’re mostly looking for O/A levels who can also do sales. They are also in favour of fresh graduates not because they are sympathetic but because it will be cheaper.
Proceed to the real marketing staff in Sillypore who have proper qualifications and still, you see a sorry plight. Most (95%) can’t speak proper English and have conservative ideas unwilling to try new methods. So that’s ‘marketing’ for you.

Of course the easiest way is to increase your daily budget, alternativly you can consider
Not to do wet marketing on weekends because price of foodstuff are usually more expensive.Shop around in different wet markets to compare pricing because they are usually different.
Cut down on unhealthty food stuffs like prawns, crabs, and red meat. try to eat more veg and chickens, which are usually cheaper.

You should ask your wife. Don't the two of you communicate or you don't trust her?

Yea, healthiest is to cut down on everything and just eat plain rice.

thanks for all yr invaluable comments and feedbacks…in fact I’ve already discussed with my wife and being on the thrifty she feels ok to buy within the $15 daily limit and yet we can still have fish,meat,veggies,etc fresh daily for lunch and dinner with no leftovers.The wet is < only about100 metres from our house.
