Vegetarian live aboard

I wondered about that myself. If you eat out a lot and eat a lot of prepared foods, then comparing being an omnivore to being a vegetarian, there can be big savings on food, perhaps as much as a 50% savings, but if you prepare your own meals, the savings are far less significant.

Our weekly grocery bill including household supplies for two people is roughly something under $100 per week. On top of that we eat out or order out maybe half a dozen times a month plus I get my lunch most days at ''Subways''. We eat comparatively little prepared foods. I have no idea how that compares with someone in the Annapolis area who eats meat.
