Lisa spends around $200 every time she goes grocery shopping for the two of us.

When I was shopping for just myself (about a year ago), I would spend around $200.

The difference is that I used to go shopping like once a month. Lisa goes around every 10 days. Shit is more expensive. On the order of from $7/day/person a year ago to $10/day/person now. Sounds like 30% is a pretty close estimation.
