When I ran the numbers for my two-person household, I found that our pre-covid spending averaged $348 for groceries and $62 for gas. Post-covid, we’re at $387 for groceries and $23 for gas—coincidentially the same total! $300 per person just for groceries sounds really high. I don’t know if you’re interested in saving money, but if so there’s a lot of fat to cut there.

Does your $387 ($194/person) include the costs of delivery?
Back of the envelope, I think the risk of getting covid via going into stores is high enough that delivery is worth it.
