This isn’t that far away from mine for two people: ~$600-$700 per month in a HCOL area and doing most of the cooking myself as well. I have found that sizing up a recipe for more people is only a marginal increase in cost. So, cooking for two is not just double that of cooking for one, but less.
Oh yeah. I made a YT video recently about money-saving tips, and one of the things I do is look at restaurants that have family-sized meals that they offer to-go. This works really well for pasta and rice, but I can get six meals for the cost of a few dollars each, package up five of them, and then I have five really yummy lunches for my in office days when I go in.
They are. Luckily I cook nearly all of my own meals, or the bills would be way, way worse.

Single person and I do almost all of my own cooking. I average $500 - $600 a month.

Jeez, are groceries really that expensive in the US? For me in germany I can get groceries for 2-3 month with this money.
