    Default What's your monthly/weekly food bill?

    I was going through some posts here and people seem to be eating an obscene amount of food! I'm not better myself. Anyway, so how much do you spend on food in your quest for that buff bod?

    I operate in £££, but my food bill is around £70 ($100) a week and that include 25 breasts (get 'em cheap from butcher), 5 cans of tuna (can't stand it, but force it down), 1kg of oats, 1kg of potatoes, brown rice, a lot of milk, and then others bits and pieces. All and all, not too bad. I don't smoke nor touch alcohol, so I get away living far more cheap than most of my unhealthy friends.

    To feed just me, $90 a week. The hubby who does not eat like I do, is on his own. Typical grocery purchase looks like this.

    6 packages of cucumbers, 6 packages of celery hearts, bag of romaine hearts, 6 packs of chiken breasts, 1 pack of either steak or salmon filets, 6 cans of salt-free salmon, any spices and such that I use while cooking.

    Anywhere from $80 - $100 a week, depending on how fancy I get. When I go for taste it tends to be more expensive, but when I'm just throwing back plain ass chicken breasts and rice it's pretty cheap.

    I like to get my food every day. As of now I get

    OMEGA-3 eggs the extra large ones I'll get two dozen of that, a bottle V8 Fusion drink so I can get some of the veggies that I really don't eat much of,
    Chicken Tenderloin get like as close to 2lbs as I can then I'll get like 3-4 yams. Once a week I buy a thing of grits or whole oats and a big bottle of some Fish Oil.

    Comes to like 15-20 dollars a day depending where I go and what's sale.

    Hard to tell, grocery is the wifes job. I go along and help, but when its checkout time, I'm pretty zoned out and ready to leave. She isn't saying I'm fat, so it must be under 300.

    Man up, do your own bodybuilding shopping!! Me and the missus share absolutely everything, but when it comes to food and food shopping, she's on her own.

    last week, only because my wife asked me to document it: $280. including $27 a week for Myofusion. no other supps included here. I eat a lot of filet mignon at $16.99lb which is where most of my cost comes from.
