How much do you spend on food a week anon?

[Anonymous No.11362127]

10$

[Anonymous No.11362130]

Like $200? I buy about $100 worth of groceries every week but I'm also a bit lazy so I spend a lot of money on takeaway/fast food that I don't have to cook. Most of my fruit and veg is rotting by the end of the week and I have to throw it out, but I still continue to spend money on it just in case I don't feel like getting takeaway.

~200 US$ pw on average between restaurants and groceries, I'm a single guy and live within my means so i'm comfortable spending that.

>>11362116
For me, alone? $35-60 depending on if I eat out or not. If I'm feeding my good for nothing lazy girlfriend, it's about $100 a week. I love her despite everything, but she doesn't even give good head.

[Anonymous No.11362461]

>>11362430
Wow a whole $50 a week and she doesn’t give good head? You realize most whores charge at least that for a half hour right? Maybe take her somewhere nicer than red lobster chief

About 250 euro including buying lunch at work

[Anonymous No.11362806]

>>11362805
Oh and that's for month

[Anonymous No.11362894]

20-30 euros if I'm frugal and make everything at home
reasonably more if lazy and buying sandwiches and stuff

[Anonymous No.11362896]

>>11362116
The only things I regularly buy weekly are cigarettes, vodka, and taco bell. Cigarettes are around $30 a week (4 packs), vodka is around $45 (3 handles), and taco bell is probably around $24 (3 burritos for dinner and one for breakfast if I'm not too drunk to eat it that night, probably 4 nights a week).

I'm a cook so I get to eat at work or take home dinner, and also often take home leftover stuff we can't reheat. I go to the grocery store maybe twice a month for bread, eggs, and liverwurst, which is around $8. I buy condiments in bulk so have no idea how much I actually go through in a week because I so rarely have to restock.

>spending $24 a week on fucking taco bell

Well lets see...
>Monday let's just say I go to taco bell and get a cravings box. That's $5
>Tuesday the local wing joint has a traditional wing special so it's usually around $10 for 8 wings and some fries. I'll drink the pop I have at home to save a few.
>Wednesday is always my burger day so I'll either McDonalds for a QP meal which usually runs around $8. I also normally go out on Wednesday night so a lot of times I'll get me a late night meal at Taco Bell when I'm hammered. That runs around $5.
>Thursday I try to keep it healthy since I'm hungover so I'll get Chipotle or something sillimar which normally runs me around $10.
>Friday it all depends. Usually I'll try to get something halfway decent to treat myself since it's when I get paid. Probably go to Olive Garden or something. Maybe mexican if I'm feeling it. Usually spend around $20.
>Saturday and Sunday I just kinda snack around the house or order pizza. We'll say $20 between both days
So yeah. Like somewhere around $70/week. Maybe more or less depending.

I used to do this when I was younger all the fucking time.
This is why I the only time I grocery shop for fresh shit is when I know I am making something THAT DAY or NIGHT.
I get tired of wasting money on shit that I'm going to forget about and go to waste. I swear I've wasted probably thousands of dollars worth of meat and produce.
Only shit I buy regularly at the store now is frozen or canned shit.

[Anonymous No.11366036]

I spend about half of my monthly salary on Irn bru. I am not even kidding. I buy all the Irn Bru on store shelves until it is gone and then buy cases of it in bulk. At least four cases a month.

in the grow season when we can buy fresh veg and fruit locally probably $100 including takeaway.

I start drinking before I get out of bed so I rarely get shakes (it's all about having a routine). I also take a klonopin before work and keep ondansetron in my pocket at all times.

Not to put you guys down or anything, but how do you end up like this? Is it stress, depression, habit or something else? I drink 2-3 beers most nights and I consider that a problem

[Anonymous No.11367163]

>>11367070
>is it stress, depression, habit or something else

I was never a fan of al/ck/ being a general... but, it's all of the above. Many people don't necessarily get into it because of stress or depression (my life was going great when I became of legal age and had a couple drinks a night without issue), but it makes life harder, which causes stress and depression, and also just physically causes stress and depression, so it's just a downward spiral. There are a few things that happened in my life that made me drink more (love of my life left me, didn't make it into my PhD program, just fell out of touch with all my childhood friends and became reclusive), of which being an alcoholic definitely played some factor in, probably along with just being an aspie. But when you already drink regularly and then things go bad you tend to just drink more. My best advice would be to set a rule like never drink before 5, aside from special occasions like holidays. When things really got bad is when I started drinking before getting out of bed, even if I woke up having to go to the bathroom.

I'm probably spending a hundred a week on snacks and eating out.

I have a real problem of "making a list of what I want to eat that week" because I'm retarded. I spend so much time thinking about it that i Forget to get food and I just starve, so I eat out.

It didn't used to be this way

[Anonymous No.11369129]

It's about 1-120 every week at the store.

[Anonymous No.11369132]

Around $30-40. I have a special snowflake diet (low-no grain), and grain is the cheapest food around.

About $250/week for a family of four. Two of the four are little kids who don't eat that much though. I buy organic produce, which can get expensive, but it is better for the kids.

125 CAD a week is what we budget, which feeds my wife and four kids. We occasionally go over if we decide to buy some stuff from the farmers market.
