What do you spend per week on food.

**Uthinkso** · 02-23-2007, 09:21 AM

I need to hit the grocery store this weekend and was making my list last night and it quickly occured to me that I am certainly driving up the grocery bill with the amount of food I eat now.

Which of course made me think, I wonder what others are spending....

**tucker01** · 02-23-2007, 09:23 AM

150-180 a week

**ABCs** · 02-23-2007, 09:32 AM

Around $70 a week. I just went shopping yesterday and forgot a few things.

**Uthinkso** · 02-23-2007, 10:14 AM

I'd say we range in the $150 area between Costco and the grocery store.

**CED_2583** · 02-23-2007, 10:50 AM

$60-$100 depending on what kind of meats I'm getting for the week and if I need to restock certain things.

**Uthinkso** · 02-23-2007, 11:26 AM

Perhaps we should also include how many people you are shopping for. I have three to shop for, thought he baby is just on formula and veggies. Hell the baby food is more than my food.

**ShapeUP** · 02-23-2007, 01:43 PM

Too much...but less than I did when I ate all fast food and then a restaraunt weekly

**Hammerlynn** · 02-23-2007, 01:45 PM

I could probably do 40-50 weekly depending on what I need but that's just for me. The last guy I dated hated my "healthy shit" and I had to buy him crap..lol Thank goodness this one eats like I do

**MCx2** · 02-23-2007, 02:20 PM

Bout $75 a week fo mee.

**largepkg** · 02-23-2007, 02:33 PM

I have no clue how you guys/girls do it so cheap. I'm at $125+ minimum per and that's not including dining out.

**crazy_enough** · 02-23-2007, 02:51 PM

wow, I must be eating a lot more than most...

I feed 2 adults (one of which eats min. 7x day... ME lol ) and 2 kids under 10, our grocery bill is anywhere between 2500-3000 month...

**tucker01** · 02-23-2007, 02:52 PM

**kinkery** · 02-23-2007, 02:55 PM

I drop by often...check on all of u.

Ya, I really do spend a shitload on food. We hit Costco 2-3 times per month and come out $600-700 broker on a good day!

This does include toilet paper in a 3 female household, perhaps that why!

We ingest tons of meat(this is where most of the $$ goes), egg whites, CC, fresh fish and produce, organic and sprouted grain products...

I just spent $700 at costco yesterday and am cutting for a show at 2400 cals/day...so just try and imagine what my bulk was like!

**Rocco32** · 02-23-2007, 04:26 PM

Probably about 130 a week for my wife and me...not including eating out which lately probably surpasses that 130!!!

This is a good thread, lots of participation and good input. Thanks everybody.

I work my ass off... and pay a mortgage instead! A lot cheaper

Having a full fridge at all times is just priority in this house...

**Nate K** · 02-23-2007, 08:27 PM

I just bought some salmon instead of beef. Salmon is expensive.

But tastes much better IMO.

**bigss75** · 02-24-2007, 08:04 AM

50 bucks a week if that. Ill buy 200 bucks worth of chicken when their on sale and that will last me a while. Oats, peanut butter, protein powder and eggs will go a long way for the price

**Uthinkso** · 02-24-2007, 08:50 AM

eggs are pretty cheap and the bags or frozen chicken breast from Costco rock.

**fUnc17** · 02-24-2007, 10:28 AM

$80. and this is shopping at Wegmans, which is very pricy.

$3k/month for food? You could feed a small vietnamese village with that

Oh my gosh...us too on the eating out! Thankfully, the BF pays most of that since I cook us meals at home twice a week. The other nights (when he's not here,) he eats lean pockets

Not to sound like a total dork but I saw your story on BB.com about a month or so ago. Truly amazing. I started where you did and will look back about once a week to remind myself that I can do it! Is that stalking?

*dork rant over*

**El Hefe** · 02-24-2007, 01:37 PM

I average about 1000 a month between groceries and eating out, food is definitely my biggest bill.

**leg_press** · 02-24-2007, 01:45 PM

I go shopping twice a week and spend about £40 on chicken, veggies, fruit, lean minced beef and sometimes steak. I buy boxes of oats/rice which i find are cheaper in the long run

Right on.. I spend about $75/week, plus supplements every three months. I try to load up when things are on sale (buy boneless skinless chicken breasts at $1.99/lb and freeze them, cottage cheese at $1.28/container six at a time, etc.).
