I'm gonna guess around $600/month. That might be a little high. Excludes eating out. A mix of 70% Safeway, 30% Trader Joe's. We eat very little animal meat and consume very little alcohol. We do breakfast at home and cook dinner 5 nights per week on average. We eat out for lunch probably 6 days a week on average.

At least you have water. Fresh, clean potable water is not a long term guarantee for people living in the West/Southwest.

Reply to Question geared towards longtime DC residents. by nfw22

Been here since 2006.

Biggest change during the Trump years was the sheer number of protests and protesters coming from around the country. It was a truly special (if exhausting) time for the democratic process.

How would you feel about being locked in a small closet of a state room or trapped in a small space between steel structures in the boiler room... while the Titanic sank.

Reply to GWU students add ‘morning-after’ pill vending machine to campus by efthfj

It's paywalled.

What else is sold in these vending machines?

I'd suggest...

Plan B pills (done) Male and female condoms. Dental dams. Tampons, pads, etc. Ibuprofen. Lubricant. Small but curated selection of vibrators, sex toys, etc.

Reply to DC is a leader in building new apartments, but they tend to be on the small side by Maxcactus

Years ago we were looking at condos ($550K+) at Chapman Stables and many units didn't have real kitchens. They had pseudo kitchens by our definition and the excuse from the realtor was, "Millennials don't cook." Well, my wife and I cook so we noped on out of that catastrophe. Talk about a $hit investment.

Once you visit enough places you can determine what has "good bones" and what is a money making scam designed to fleece you.

You're welcome.

If you want to take her to nice DC restaurants like Albi (linked below) then be sure to reserve in advance.

Some museums like the Air & Space museum, the Zoo, the Washington Monument, etc. require free timed entry tickets that you'll need to book in advance. The Spy Museum, popular for kids, requires paid tickets.
