I can easily find things like rent, internet, insurance prices, but how do I find things like grocery prices? I honestly don't even know what an average grocery list might look like, are there resources to help with this? my gf and I are looking into moving out, and assuming a monthly income of ~4400 USD and rent being 500 USD, I think we should be okay, but I need to be 100% that we won't be barely scraping by or anything. thank you everyone

I'd suggest one of the meal prep delivery companies, if they are in your area. You'll get a fixed price, food delivered and they are like diy cooking lessons. Recipes get a bit samey over time but you'll find a few favourites to buy yourself when you stop.

This is a really great idea, especially if you need to learn to cook a bit. These meal kits are very easy to follow and I still use some of the recipes I learned even though I haven't used the service for a couple of years.
