The reason is simply that when I started it, I wasn't married. My girlfriend, now wife, pays for half and I pay for half. We keep groceries very low by shopping at WalMart for many staples (generics only). A can of baked beans is around 44 cents and can be very healthy. However, the biggest factor may be that my job provides me lunch and dinner free each night. There's also a chance that my estimate was a little low. I don't spend a lot of time budgeting, but more focusing on finding good (or the best) value for my dollar. Our necessary expenses may be half (or less) of what you are used to seeing.
