+ 4 What are your tips for saving money on groceries and meals?

ad

Over the last couple years my grocery bill has gone through the roof. To feed just myself and a dog i spend anywhere from $70-100/week at the grocery store pretty easily. So i'm looking for all you're tips & hacks for both getting groceries cheaper and meals that can be made on a budget while still being filling and reasonably good for getting in the macros/calories we're trying to get in.

So, what do you boys got?

What's this post about again? @Black90tsi

Black90tsi's picture

Well it was supposed to be about saving money on food and less expensive meal ideas. Somehow it turned into a political shit show. Damn it.

Ya know I think we should take a step back and really appreciate this thread. So often folks in our lifestyle get classified as dumbass meatheads and yet here we are sounding like goddamn debate team all stars. We’re just big, strong debate team all stars lol

All we completely derailed the main focus but you don’t get to make a post complaining about inflation and expect any different

Cheers to all you smart meat heads Crazy

Because you already have citizenship here and I don’t think your allowed to denounce your citizenship anymore every since a billionaire did it and moved out of the country cus he didn’t want to it taxes on the money he made, they even names the law after him, forget his name tho. Either you can’t denounce it or it like costs a fortune or something

Correct. You have to pay what would be the equivalent of expected lifetime of taxes in one lump sum.

It won’t work because Mexico would throw us in jail for crossing their border illegally, LOL! Ain’t that some shit though?

Pumped_'s picture

I need knee surgery, i thought about losing my wallet and going down and sneak over border here, give myself up and get caught. Get my cellphone, and get my surgery then after mysteriously find my wallet again

Drexyl's picture

Especially if we bring some of the hardware we own lol, we’ll be in jail for a very long time. Or hired on as contractors by one on the cartels. Does the Sinoloa or the Juarez cartel have a better dental plan and which has more PTO?

@Drexyl @JakeKO Dental plan? Shit the Juarez Cartel's dental plan consists of finding your teeth on side of the road....maybe ya whole damn jaw. Playing with fire!

Drexyl's picture

What’s crazy is I don’t think their soldiers make any kind of decent money. They get paid and eat, better than the locals, but they’re not getting big bucks.

DeeMan's picture

No they don't make decent money at all, that's why alot of them betray and go work for the cartel. Man I know we had our little political debate earlier but we really should be grateful to live in this country. I'm sure you can understand.

I've been to Mexico a few times and I witnessed a young man swimming across the border only to be told by the Border patrol to go back. That was in broad daylight @Drexyl

Gotta get yourself one of these freezers, 7cuft. Join one of the wholesale club markets and stock up when/with what goes on sale. I’m almost ready to go again. Separate the packaging and freeze. As far as our economy goes? There’s no easy way out. I’m pretty sure we’re fucked for a while and it may get worse before it gets better. I’m of the opinion that this country isn’t too far from going off the rails.

Cottage cheese, greek yoghurt is a good low cost protein' source and sardines. Sardines are usually sub $1.00 a tin and it is one of the most nutrient dense food you can get in a single serving. Also, potatoes, oats, peanut butter, and eggs are also affordable and you can do a lot with those to change it up.

I def go for some 2% cottage cheese as either a quick snack or as a side to something like a burger or sandwich. I love some cottage cheese. Im fortunate enough to have access to free eggs from a family neighbors chickens on a pretty regular basis. I go through about 18 eggs/wk or these days between breakfast and dinner. They're just so easy to make.

Here in the states I would simply say stop voting Democrat, cost of living has doubled the last 3 years

Lmao cost of living has doubled in almost every modern country, not only the us. It has zero to do with democrats. Its called inflation, something the whole world is dealing with right now.

Chad P's picture

Yea impeccable timing. One guys policies stop, another’s start, then BOOM!!! It all happens just like that. Crazy world we live in.

Things were so much better with the last administration. I’m not a huge Trump supporter, or even republican supporter for that matter. I vote libertarian. but things (economy/cost of living) were objectively better during his administration.

Yeah everyone thinks if you are anti socialism you are a Trumper. We just like having money and not struggling when you work full time and make too much to collect financial aid

100%. Why bust my ass to get half taken to taxes when people sitting on their ass get free handouts for everything. Or think they deserve $50k/yr working at fast food flipping burgers.

And opening the borders just so you can get in as many voters as you can is the most low down thing a human can do. That is 20x worse than anything Trump has ever done

Drexyl's picture

I’m not sure it’s only about votes. I’m not a conspiracy guy, but the fact you s that an overwhelming percentage, I mean by leaps and bounds, are males in the age bracket for military. Are we going to enlist them because most 18-25yo males we have these days are very far from being in any fighting condition, or will they be enlisted for another purpose altogether?

There is some wierd reason he reversed all the previous border policies but now there are people getting caught on the terror list so whatever the plan was is backfiring and his own democrats are turning on him like mayor adams from New York
