+ 1 Weekly Grocery Bill
ad
So I have seen a lot of talk on here about how much people spend on groceries in a week since I've signed up to this wonderful site. I've been here a few years now, and I don't post often. Also I understand that you're trying to discourage the reliance on drugs, but I believe it to be despairing to some users when they hear how much your grocery bill is, and that this thread could maybe give some examples of weekly grocery lists and costs of items on said lists and weekly totals and maybe stats as a comparison.
So post the following if you feel so inclined:
Items, item cost
Total cost,
Stats and maybe some background on goals you're eating for.
My phone is about to die, but I'll post mine tonight.
Thanks to anyone who participates.

I get my meals prepped at $7 each which I think is reasonable, so $42 at day = $294 per week. My nutrition guy has always got me on some kinda diet and I gave up weighing everything out and shopping for all this "wild caught" "grass fed" and organic crap a long time ago (and so did the Mrs.). LOL
I spent £200 a month on eating good. all grilled food
10kg of beef mince
10kg chicken breast boneless
So much fruit cant really count. but try eat 2-5 a day
(About) 5-6kkg brown pasta with sweetcorn and peppers
lastly waffles waffles waffles
Nice thread Thanks Wolf
£200 per month? I have no idea how you can eat so cheap. My nine year old costs more than that to feed.
X2 ive got 3 kids my grocery bill is like a second mortgage
LMFAO no kid on me. and that is just my workout food. I eat other food:}
Smart and Final...about 600 a month. Every bill is a nouisance! But the anabolic bill's are less painful!
How goes the job hunt brother havent seen you around in awhile
400 or soo give or take with 2 of us eating machines.
I can tell you when i was single, its hard to say now cause i shop with my fiance, and on top of that she stops at the grocery store a few times a week extra for other things we need. But back when it was just me assuming I did not eat out at all ( that would run the bill up to around 200 maybe more) I spent around 150 a week. I keep it pretty simple, i hate shopping so i buy the same things every week so im in and out in the least time possible,
eggs
few cartons of egg whites
oats
chicken breast (maybe talipia somethings)
brown rice
top sirloin steak
ground beef
potatoes
greek yogurt.
And back then id eat the same thing everyday at the same time. now lifes a little different, i dont have steak and potatoes everynight for dinner 6 nights a week lol, now only twice, my fiance cooks differnet things the rest of the week. It was honestly alot easier back then, i knew exaclty what I was eating everyday.
Close to as simple as it gets, if one really needed to budget, they could drop the steak beef potatoes egg whites and yogurt and get buy on eggs, oats, chicken breast and brown rice. Doesnt get any cheaper then that. Ive done that before when money was tight, 2 meals with eggs, 3-4 with chicken and a shake after the gym.
I buy my meat in bulk and monthly. Split it and freeze it. I guess this comes to roughly £200/£250
Fruit and vegetables I buy fresh, twice a week and I would guess somewhere around £60-£80 a month.
Carbs, no clue on this but they are relatively cheap so I imagine no more than £60 per month.
This is what my and my girlfriend generally spend on feeding ourselves. I would add an extra £250 on eating out and miscellaneous things.
Both my family and my wifes family are ranchers, I get all the top quality beef I want for free. When we run out I head to my parents or in laws' freezer and fill up a new box to bring home. With free beef we spend about $100-$150/week for us and a 2 year old.
Does your family want to adopt a grown ass man?
make that two grown ass men.
depends on if im in prep or not. prep is usually a little more expensive, maybe 200$ weekly. i go for leaner meats while on prep and it ends up costing a bit more.
off season i can get away with 100-150$ a week. if you look through the ads the grocery stores send out almost ALWAYS there is fresh chicken beast on sale for around 1.50-1.75$ per pound. you might have to go to a different store than usual to get it, but its worth it.
150-200 depends on how much seafood I eat.
I'm not sure what my grocery bill is. I just eat whatever my mom buys. ;-)
I'm same way bro. I just sit down and table and ask what's for dinner. Yea right I wish. lol
I've been asked what would be the first thing you'd get if you won the lottery and a personal chef would be mine.
I agree. No wait, 2 chefs.
Exactly! I need a regular chef and a pastry chef
Hot pockets and pizza bagels ftw.
Your mom get those for you too? Sweet! She also gets me Star Wars mac and cheese, top Raman, and lucky charms! That, along with some tren, is all a growing boy needs!
Don't you or anyone on here dare speak ill of lucky charms!
Speaking ill of lucky charms would be a physical impossibility.
I love pizza rolls
I hated them, could never quite wait for them to cool off before incinerating my entire mouth.
That's what she said.
That's the best part!
Thank god I have a local farm and butcher I get my neat from so it's fresh and he cuts what ever I want.
Get lean sirloin and then he center cuts it for me and grinds it up for 4.99 a pound. Can't beat that. Big ass local farm has all kinds of shit.
I try to support my local mom and pops store to keep them around. The dam big store chains has put so many other small store's out of business that Has been around forever..Shit ain't right.
I shop for a family of four at a time. On just meat, for me, I spend $80 weekly.
I save on beef I buy a half a cow at a time once it's processed and I pay everything it = out to about 3.75 a pound they will cut it however you want it will last me about 6 months or so
I buy the whole cow, still alive. I hack off what I want to eat immediately and ride the rest home ;)
Lol...
You probably just eat the whole cow while its still screaming it's last horrible blood curdling breath ;-P
It's all protein.....
That's what I try to tell my wife.... :/
Don't forget the yummy fat too!
Ever try to ride a cow ? Yeah they don't like it loo
"Riding" a cow? - you meant that the dirty way didn't you?
Yes I grew up in a farm what do you expect
Only way to go big guy. I know a local farmer that hooks me up with beef pork and farm raised chickens. Can't beat it
bigmurphI have had farm raised fresh killed chicken and it is amazing even fresh eggs are so different then store bought.
I would go pork but rarely eat it
Which half?
A half of beef is just that split right down the back two halves.. A quarter of beef is half a side front quarter or rear quarter
I see, I was picturing getting the half with the head or the half with the ass lol
Lmfao
bigmurphI honestly wish I had access to something like that. I shop at bj s and just buy frozen chicken turkey fish pork in bulk.
Around 300$ worth lasts 2.5wks
Thats a good average and comprable to what i spend, about 500-600/month...for 3 people..
bigmurphIts only me and my wife and it comes out to around 500$+ between the both of us. We eat real good for 2.5wks on that amount my wife is the ultimate coupon savings type also she seeks out and finds all the deals.
