When it comes to the most expensive items on the shopping list you should start looking at the cheapest places to get it. I get all my meat from a meat packing warehouse (the place the slaughter house sends the carcass' too). It's about 20% of the price of supermarkets and it's fresher.
Spend at least 200 a week on groceries
I use a wholesale broker ..40 lbs of meat (chicken) is $50.00 = .80 cents per pound..
Fish is $1.50 per pound... much cheaper then buying at a store..
also I buy a shit load at the $1 store... pasta , pasta sauce,etc... chips, other crap..
I buy the same thing every week.
5- 5 lb bags of chicken breasts
2 large bags broccoli florets
2 bags of dry black beans
1 bag of brown rice
1 container of oats
1 jif natty peanut butter
1- 10 lb bag tilapia
Case of 60 eggs
Shitload of yams and sweet potatoes
Milk
That's about what I eat in a week, not all of it is gone usually, but most of it.
It's about $100 bux
GOOD LAWD this looks a lot like my grocery bill.. only add a few whole chickens, some sweet potatoes and yogurt and the package of SC is really A in my case!! LMAO
Damn, i wish i could only spend that much per week on food. Large families drain the wallet. We are spending double that per week at Costco and we stock to basic nutritious stuff! I'm screwed when all the kids hit teenage years!
have them get part time jobs and chip in $50 a week...you'll be fine... :-)
That looks like serious fuel but 18 eggs last me maybe a day or 2. I must ask thou why white bread and not whole grain?
Cuz the tren lets me cheat with the white carbs :)))
That's a lot of milk!
I can drink a gallon of milk myself in a day if I'm home all day and not working
A cpl hefty shakes a day bro
What about "Monterey Jacked" or "Gorgonswola"?
If I could neg you for that, I would... LOL!
You mean if you could + me you know you would!;)
Edit: I'm guessing by the chicken broth you bake your chicken?
Yes sir!
Oh Boy ! Must be nice ! Only $147.53 !!
I live the dream bro ( the dream of no wife and kids!) LMFAO!
the deli chick always has my sliced breast waiting for me - 1/2 lb increments make it an easy chow during the day
GearofWarMan, I'm jealous. That's what I spent on myself, Wifey, and girls(2.5, 4.5 yrs old) for the week and the only meat we got were some fakey frozen meatballs, a lb of 86/14 burger, and 1.5lb pack of chix breast. No deli meat this week either. It's hard to eat well when you're poor. Too proud to take the EBT/food stamps(although we wouldn't get many anyhow) and getting paid once E2W has been an adjustment for us with a single income. Anyhow, do you have any tips or tricks on eating well on the cheap for peeps like me.? Feels like I'm doomed to eat Chef Boyardee every day for lunch. Yuck..
Look for an Aldi grocery store homie. Most everything there is usually even much cheaper than Wally World.
tuna and eggs bro!
when I was down I pretty much lived on canned tuna and canned pineapple and got pretty fkn yoked! ;)
GearofWarWe do eat a lot of eggs around these here parts. Tuna is a food that I never liked as a kid but can eat without an issue nowadays. I get on a kick with certain foods and I can see tuna filling the bill nicely. Put it on some crackers, tuna and Swiss melts, blend it into a can of Diet Coke(That's for you Mad Hoss) you know, the usual stuff, lol! Thanks for the ideas though.
I spent 117 today on a very similar list
I don't see any oatmeal? lol. I like your diet tho, it is not too often we see a breakdown of everything one plans on eating for a week. Myself I try to avoid as much as possible the white (Italian) bread and Pasta, but if I am going to cheat with white bread it will damn sure be italian. I am curious, what are avocados going for out west? Here in the region of the lakes we have been getting robbed.
Oatmeal is on my protein shake shopping list LOL!
I only eat them up til 3:00 anyway (I hate feeling carb depleted during the day)
I can jump all over white carbs this cycle - tren
We get robbed out here too bro and I can drive right to the avocado field >: /
That is why I asked. Hell, I would have avocado tree's in my yard, lol. I love them, but between the price and patiently waiting for ripeness....
I use honey wheat bread and veggie pasta when I have it now
That's a good list of items. I try to buy in bulk at Costco. I probable spend 250 every two weeks.
I saw a youtube video of Jay Cutler shopping at Costco.
