$35 of groceries is only 4 to 8 meals, not to mention hygiene and household items. One person would spend much more than that weekly if they’re not dining out.
$35 is a lot of oatmeal, bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, beans, and frozen veg. Maybe some raisins for fruit. No, it’s not fun, but you eat miserable food when you live in a food desert and have no money. Also, the passage says at least, not only. She’s probably spending more.
that’s my point, spending $35 to avoid the extra fee is not really a problem, because one can easily do that with everyday food for one person per week. In fact it’d be really hard to spend less than that on food.

If it’s making it so that she can only order groceries every 2 weeks, I’d consider that a problem. The fee itself isn’t the root cause, but it’s another barrier. I don’t believe for a second that your quality of life wouldn’t be impacted if you only ordered groceries every 2 weeks.
