Any of you faggots have expensive food habits like only buying a certain premium ingredient or food, or buying food or drinks on a daily from certain restaurants like starbucks? I know a few retards from work that buy frappucinos daily - that's almost $25 a week on just fucking drinks.

My only expensive habit is premium ice cream. I'll devour 3 pints of the stuff a week. And before anyone calls me a fat ass, fuck you. I run a lot almost every day. Thanks.

I only buy fresh, "premium" ingredients, but that's not an expensive habit if you know what the fuck you're doing.

My actual expensive habit I guess would be only drinking less than cheap craft beer, which I do almost every day on some level. No regrets.

I generally splurge on expensive cheese, bread, and lunch meat.

Every other Thursday night I go out to this local burger joint and have whatever their special is. I've been going there for years and I'm a regular. I don't even need to order anymore because I always get the special and a large cherry cola. It costs $7.80 before tax and is the one thing in my life that has stopped me from killing myself.

>I consume 4500+ calories in premium ice cream a week

just because you run doesn't meat you aren't fat, fatass. yes, we also believe you run 10 miles two days, because that's how much you would need to run to burn off those excess calories

I buy ingredients and make food from them. I don't by hardly any ready to eat stuff or snack foods.

I do spend about $100 a week on good wine, because I like to drink good wine most evenings. That would be my expensive habit.

Macarons. I live in LA, too, so there's no shortage of just where I could drop mad cash on these babies. I'm just glad I walk everywhere and work out often. I'd be a lardass otherwise. I only wish I could figure out how to bake worth a damn.

I average 20 - 30 miles a week. I need the calories to keep on training. In other words, I eat to keep training, not the other way around. Besides, premium ice cream is very dense in calories which makes it easier to reach my calorie needs instead of stuffing my face with ass loads of 'healthy' food. I maintain a balance between the two. Thanks for assuming, doe.

French and Italian friends schooled me on what wines go with which foods. That made me a little dogmatic about wine, which is funny, because I'm not dogmatic about anything else in my life.

It also means I'm drinking French and Italian wines most of the time, with a detour into the Iberian every now and then. $15 bottles quickly add up to a c-note a week.

This is alcoholism. Basic arithmetic.

I eat out VERY frequently because of my job, around 3-5 times a week. Fancy places, especially.

Luckily I rarely have to pay, but I usually still leave 50-70 bucks as a tip for most places. Shit adds up.

>This is alcoholism.
If it were just me drinking I might agree with you. A bottle of wine a night between me and the wife is hardly alcoholism.

I personally go by the definition that even with heavy drinkers it's only alcoholism when your drinking has a negative effect on your professional and/or personal life. Some folks go nuts and fuck shit up with just two drinks in them. Others can be half in the bag, yet still manage to hold things together well. Which camp you fall into has much to do with whether or not you ought to seek help.

Just coffee really. Doesn't look to expensive but 3-4 times a week for $3.50-5 AUD coffee, well.

If I have a good paycheck I'll splurge and get a latte at Starbucks (yeah I know) or some good ice cream. Recently tried the green tea Hagan-dazs.
