Since this is dinners only (with occasional leftovers that people eat for breakfast and lunch), you should plan to spend more money on food for breakfast and lunch. There is a Trader Joes ($$) and Whole Foods ($$$) 20 min away walking along the river. A Target ($), Daily Table ($), HMart ($$$) a 25 min walk away near the Central T Stop. And a Brothers Market Place ($$$) 30 min walk away near the MIT/Kendall T Stop. ~Anna
