I frequently buy 2-3 of the following and barely hit $50 a week: ribeye steak, bacon, whole chickens, various sausages, shrimp, catfish, etc.

The $50 includes re-upping on staples and vegetables. Butter, milk, eggs, sour cream, corn meal, flour, collard greens, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, okra, corn, onion, celery, bell pepper, herbs and spices, etc.

Although I always have a 50 lb. bag of extra long grain rice and an assortment of beans (usually totals between 10-20 lb.) on hand. Pinto, Great Northern, and navy are the most common and abundant. Occasionally I'll buy black beans.

People that don't eat at home are tards.

>> No.4542892

around $200aud.
thats for two people with lots of organic shit, fresh seafood, beer and wine.

>> No.4542926

About $100.

Used to be less, but now that I've got a job I end up having to get lunch at fast food joints most days.

>> No.4542935

Not a whole lot on food, probably $35 or so for foods. But then muh cigarettes, and muh tequila, and muh coffee, and muh weed. That stuff gets expensive.

Around $200 a week.

I eat out between two and three times a week in a restaurant for lunch. Around $10. Once a week I cook for a group of friends and it comes out to around $75. The rest is spent on grocery shopping.

>> No.4543021

I work 5 days a week so I get free food there (restaurant) and I spend about 10 euro on food for the other days

>> No.4543022

I cook almost every meal (I maybe eat out once or twice a month, so I'll neglect that).

I eat Paleo (so no grains or legumes), and eat a lot, probably on the order of 4k calories on an average day. I eat mainly pork and chicken for meat, as well as some cheap cuts of beef (that is stupidly expensive here, seriously Europe WTF). Then whatever veggies are in season, cheap, or happen to look really good in the store.

I'd estimate that I average about 85 euros a week (currently expattin in yurop), so under $115 per week, or about $17 a day.

>> No.4543023

got er down to $30/wk

why? cause I'm conditioning myself to survive on less. I eat very high quality food too. lots of veg, beans, eggs, olive oil, occaisonly fish and meat and I supplement, vitamin c, and d, and omega 3.

>> No.4543494

I spend $50/mo on food and $150/mo on alcohol.

>> No.4543546

About $150 for four people per week. I eat a lot of organic vegetables and udon. We make sushi with avocado and vegetables. Lots of green tea and a little wine. We try to eat traditional diets for health and we always eat whole foods.

I put garlic in everything. I dream about little dancing garlics laughing and playing.

How are the gains treating you?

>> No.4543975

about 40-50 bucks, I mostly eat fruit and veggies, muesli with yoghurt for breakfast. Also eggs, beans, nuts and rice. No bread or meat, and very little sugar.
Also never drink fizzy or coffee, they make me sick, so pretty much just water and tea, or wine/cider if I'm going out.

>> No.4544008

Average $100 a week between two people, sometimes as low $50.. Mexican cooking is cheap as fuck. For meats I just buy chicken thighs/leg pieces, ground beef, pork shoulder, and beef shoulder/round steaks. None of these cuts is more than $3/lb. Rice and beans are the main side dishes, and veggies are carrots, potatoes, squash, and corn.

Mexican is the ultimate poorfag cuisine.

>> No.4544018

20-25$ I believe when it is converted to dollars.

I usually just eat danish ryebread with different toppings like liverpaste or some sausage and fruit in the weekdays, and then make some good proper food in the weekends.

if i wasn't forced by capitalist society to work for some elite's corporation 40+ hours a week i'd be growing my own food and spending my money on beer/cigarettes anyway. food stamps are just one of the capitalists tricks to sedate the masses into continuing to work for them.

personally i am going to try to never have to collect food stamps/unemployment.

>> No.4544152

Wait, what's stopping you from growing your own food? Gardening doesn't take that long for the basics

>> No.4544156

Normally spend about $100 bucks on food each fortnight.
I buy meat in bulk and work in a wholesale food place so I can get dry foods like rice, beans, breakfast cereal and any other staple for next to nothing, all organic too.

About £15 a week and eat a pretty wide range of stuff. I get a free meal from my parents once a weekend and I hardly ever drink alcohol. If you're interested in saving money I'd recommend eating oatmeal, which I have for breakfast probably 4 times a week. Also pay attention to offers in shops and avoid wasting anything. A fair bit of my diet is based on what's on offer in local supermarkets, so I constantly eat different things as the offers change.

I usually spend about $7.50 on lunch and about $10 on dinner.
Because of my work schedule, I don't have the time to cook and clean
On Saturday I'll make dinner at home, and Sunday I'll make lunch and dinner at home.

other fruits if they're on sale (fuck spending $5/lb for strawberries that will probably taste like shit)
tuna
spinach

£35. I could eat quite well for £20 a week without any trouble, but my living costs are otherwise pretty low and I really fucking love food, so I'm happy to spend a bit extra and fill each day with glee and anticipation. Because I cook all my meals, it goes reasonably far- I'll blow some money on good cheese, game or expensive cuts of meat or fish, but I'll get 2-4 excellent meals from it and it will still cost less than a single mid-range restaurant main. I also do a lot of exercise (running, working out, fencing, climbing), so I keep around a lot of fruit, nuts, seeds, raw vegetables, dairy and other protein-rich foods at home and in the work fridge so I can easily assemble snacks or an emergency second breakfast as needed.

You're... going to be single soon unless you met her here or she's morbidly obese. It's healthy to get out of the cave.

>> No.4546638

Usually more than I want to, and that's only because I eat mostly organic and that's fucking expensive. I would have gladly paid less for food, If all the non-hipster food did not taste like plastic and was not loaded with chemicals. And, no, adding spices does not change the hint of fish in a 'regular' tomato and I freaking hate the stale taste of a 'regular' yogurt. Don't even get me started on non-free range eggs, out of season fruit/vegetables etc. And I am a smoker, aren't smokers supposed to be taste buds handicapped?
