why do morons think a bunch of fruit is healthy? Literally just buy a bag of frozen chicken breast from costco, frozen salmon, a big bag of brown rice, get some beans, some eggs, and then just buy some fresh broccoli or some other vegetable. Instead retartds buy $50 worth of fruit alone.
the person in the pic most likely shops at Whole Foods or some shit, so of course they are gonna overpay for crap. Also judging by the choices of food I’m gonna say this is probably a women who doesn’t understand much about nutrition
the person in the pic is from australia. so that's about 109ish USD.
Pretty sure OP image is an ausgay and by the looks of it the shop is from coles (a standard supermarket). I went from spending around 80 a week like 5 years ago to 160-180. While some increase is expected as i have a kid now, doubling is well beyond that
>Why don't people eat like mentally ill autists with body dismorphia
Gee anon, I can't imagine why people don't want to eat unseasoned boiled meat and white rice for every meal.
>fatsos think that eating pic related is a miserable experience
Not him , not fatso but Im never touching salmon again lmao
why?
Checked.
Cant take it no more.... Used to eat it a lot.
ah that's ok, I thought that it might be because they found out it gives you super cancer or something.
Another fish I really like is sea bream, it has a much milder taste though
Grilled salmon seasoned with Tony Chachere's is S-tier. Granted, there isn't much that isn't improved by the liberal application of Tonys.
>Tonys
tell me you're a Black person without telling me you're a Black person
White as can be. Let me guess, you're an Old Bay homosexual?
>not liking Tony Chachere's
What part of "Great on everything don't you get?"
The only cheap salmon is farmed salmon, and I’m not eating antibiotic chemical hormone laced shit.
Learn to cook you deranged and developmentally stunted homosexual.
Why would the meat or rice be unseasoned and why would there be no meal variety despite 3 different sources of protein...?
Who said you can't season your food or cook it properly you fricking moron?
anon clearly specified brown rice
lmao you struck a nerve with all the autists here
>homies out there thing we can still afford bottom of the barrel right next to dog food shit like FROZEN chicken
kek
He's not keto if he eats rice dumbass
>he just wanted to post that image
Media brainwashing and government mandates
>lmao just eat 3 cheap things forever
Some people enjoy fruit, anon
The average normans diet is so bad healthy simple means "not toxic dogshit". This is why people think salads are "healthy".
I'm moronic but are frozen veggies and fruits better and cheaper than fresh?
yes they are the exact same but cheaper since easier to store. Taste like shit though
Freezing slows the decay of nutrients better than just chilling. So unless you're buying really fresh fruit and veg, not supermarket "fresh", then frozen is usually better from that perspective too.
Fruit isn't that expensive most of the time. I usually buy strawberries when they're $2 or even $1 a pound. Turns out I have eight pounds of frozen strawberries. Not as cheap, but I got 6oz of blackberries for $1 the other day.
>fruits arent healthy but beans are
fruits dont give me bloating and disgusting braps
>buy costco trash
No thanks, i am not poor
Unless you make 7 figures YoY, you aren't too rich for costco.
That's like $20 of fruit
>think a bunch of fruit is healthy?
Because it is.
Just the grapes alone are probably close to $30. Those things come in like 4-6 lb bags, and are like $5-7/lb. I'm with you, get a few pieces of fruit/veg as a snack or salad. Everyhing else can be cheap protein and fat loaded foods.
>are like $5-7/lb
I've seen sales at Aldi and Safeway for $1.49, even as low as $0.99/lb. That is on the coast though.
>frozen meat
>brown rice
Buy it fresh and freeze it yourself also brown rice is worse than white rice with absolutely no redeeming qualities.
It's quicker to just get on HRT than eat beans
>you can't buy good food for a reasonable price anymore, if you buy anything that doesn't look like military rations you're "wasting money"
>lmao let's point and laugh at the customer and not the companies that are actually creating the problem
go back to hell glowie
This is the correct response, everyone else arguing about the necessity and cost of fruit is a subhuman.
>and then just buy some fresh broccoli or some other vegetable
Shitty green vegetables like broccoli have no calories and is basically setting money on fire.
>chicken
no thanks
Around $1000 for a family of four.
Probably at least $500CAD a month. Pretty spartan bodybuilding diet for one. Chicken, yogurt, frozen fruit, eggs, some random odds and ends.
Keeps getting more and more expensive every time.
If I want to make an actual meal if I have my gf coming over, I can easily spend $60 on a couple items for that, its gotten really ridiculous.
Canadians will just keep voting for the people who did this.
it’s insane that there are people who will tell you that Canadas current government is doing a great job.rights are taken away every year and the economy is just shitting the bed.
Alimony for gf
About to tax the shit out of whey and creatine
Do you talk to your friends about this shit and maybe voting different?
What's this about alimony for your girlfriend?
We've come to the point in demoralization and propogandization that people believe more what they see on the TV and the ((news)) then their own eyes.
Just think how terrified people were, a two year lockdown, massive financial devastation, unparalleled division and vitriol to fellow man over a fricking cold. Most people I know dont know anyone who died over goyvid.
Fellow leaf. Manage to keep mine at $300 a month with the exact same diet except with ground beef and fish.
Still a kick in the balls when a kg of chicken went from $10 to $16
>Still a kick in the balls when a kg of chicken went from $10 to $16
Cartons of egg whites are crazy too. Over the last few months theyve gone from 5 bucks to like 8. This is for the cheapest PC ones at fricking no frills too.
Im so tired of living in this country. Cant afford to live anymore. My fricking honda civic cost 35 bucks to fill up a few years ago and no its doubled.
Bro I can't remember the last time I saw a four pack of chicken breast that was above 720g.
Isn't it good though? Usually, the more mass per piece of breast, the more water or god knows what other liquids it has.
Fellow leaf im around 300 a month.
Pork is very cheap in quebec.
I have been eating tuna, sardines more and more. 1.35-1.55 per can ain't too bad. Frick this country.
Fellow Leaf in Ontario.
About 500-600 CAD per month.
Diet of beef, chicken breast, bread, oats, rice, raisins is most of it, plus eating out a few times a week, usually chicken pitas.
I try to budget 20$/day, and if I just eat beef and bread I will be at like 15$/day, but then eating out raises it a bit.
Do North Americans really?
Even fancy organic supermarket here won’t cost a third of what you paid for them. I’m not Asian or third or second worlder
Probably around $300 a month. I eat 5-8lbs of meat/poultry a week.
£200. 35-40% of that is protein supplements
>processed meat

>not sure about the topmost piece of meat but it looks an awful like the "premarinated" shit
This is just a half-step below buying premade goyslop. The only """cooking""" you have to do is assemble things on a plate and toss it into a microwave.
Buy raw meat and actually cook the shit yourself. Don't pay 13.99 for two servings' worth of oversalted ham.
>Be superior IST anon
>Die from eating a piece of bacon or a chicken nugget
Not talking about the health part. Hell, I smoke a pork butt or couple racks of ribs every other week. Pure, delicious carcinogens.
What the topic is is money. If you pay someone else to do even a modicum of preparation for your food it's going to be stupidly expensive. This includes cured meat, frozen tendies, etc.
If you need to save money cook your own food, simple as.
Cartoons are slop.
Asa is cute though, so she can be an exception.
This is what happens when you buy shit marketed as healthy instead of buying actual healthy food

Can add another $100-$150/month for food and treats for my two dogs.
Wow dogs are fricking expensive wtf
They are if you take care of them. I have two, each about 60-70 lbs. They eat this food, $90/bag, a little over $100 after. Two cups each per day. And then decent treats that aren't 90% sawdust can cost $10-30 per container. I could cut out the treats, but it wouldn't make that much difference, and I like giving them to my dogs.
Then vet bills. $300 every six months for heart worm prevention medication for both of them, more if you get flea/tick prevention. Which I stopped buying because heart worms will kill them but fleas/ticks won't, and I just need to keep an eye out for them.
And any procedures are expensive as frick. My older dog just had surgery to get a growth removed and get her teeth cleaned (requires anesthesia), that was $1,300.
I could spend way more even on just the food if I fed them raw food diets. Saw an HEB-made brand the other day that costs less than half as much as what I feed them and looks like it might be decent. Might try switching them to that.
a little over $100 after tax.
Ohh yeah, and I forgot all the vaccines/shots that they need every year. Those aren't that expensive though really, maybe $100-200 between the both of them.
Oh and toys and beds are fricking expensive as shit too if you buy them. Plus my dogs are both heavy chewers, so they destroy all of it eventually. I consider their beds and toys as perishable items, because they are kek.
My older dog I got for $1250 from a breeder, younger dog was a stray I picked up. I've spent well over $10,000 on the older one over the course of her ~9 year life I'm sure. And thousands more by the time she dies. Will be the same for the younger one.
You take good care of your dogs bro.
I really try man, although I can always be better. My younger one I picked up from this neighborhood I live in. Saw him in the same area for two weeks while I was walking my dog, and he followed us home one day. Covered in fleas, malnourished, wounds on his ears from other dogs biting him, tape worms, no collar no chip. Took a lot of money to get him healthy again, but he's an awesome little goofball.
Fricking dickheads in my neighborhood, most of them anyways, shouldn't be allowed to own any animals. 90% of them are neglected af.
This was a few years ago, think I was paying $20 a month or so for food for a small, elderly 12lb dog. Cesar and Purina brands were surprisingly cheaper than Pedigree.
you're an inspiration anon
Buy a side of beef at about $4.50/lb
Buy 3 gallons of raw milk per week at $4.00 / gallon
Trade one gallon for 2 farm fresh dozen eggs.
Turn about 1.5 gallons into kefir.
Buy grains in bulk.
Spend maybe $40/month on fresh fruit and veggies? depending on the season.
Do all these totally unrealistic things to make it cheap bro, why aren't you going this???
The fricking diapers
That’s how you know this is an image lifted form somewhere else and in no way represents the grocery haul of anyone posting here. Unless of course the diapers are a fetish thing.
It's quite obviously from reddit. People post shit like this there all the time, complaining about how expensive their groceries are while showing all the braindead crap they waste their money on. I remember seeing one that was a couple hundred bucks and at least 25% was just in the amount of fricking soda they got.
groceries?
I just order grab 2x a day
lets see, 25x2=50 x30 = 1500 buckeroos
$100-$200 depending on when the things that last me more than a month run out
For me and my gf between groceries and eating out probably 600-700 per month. But I make great money and buy high end stuff so its a choice. I would probably do 400-500 a month if I tried.

Not gonna lie, sometimes I miss the chow halls. Particularly the few times I got to spend some time on Leatherneck when I was in Afghanistan. Chow hall there was fricking amazing. Or maybe it just seemed that way because I spent most of my time on FOBs eating MREs or the bulk MRE shit they boiled in tubs of water. Half the time it was moldy.
AF chow is better.
Fricking duh, its the Air Force, you get all the money. Half of the equipment we had in the Marines was hand-me-downs from the Army.
I still don't know how they trick you guys into enlisting in any other branch.
For the Marines, great advertising/propaganda. I don't regret it. Did cool shit, paid for college after. Honestly, making do with less was a point of pride for us.
Now how they get anyone to join the Army or Navy, I have no idea. Dog shit branches. At least you guys get all the coolest/newest toys and money.
I did IT Server shit, I want to commission to spaceforce but maybe after I do my current job and get some weapons contractor exp. on me.
I started as a heavy equipment operator for first enlistment. Once I was a corporal I lat moved to CI/HUMINT and did another four, which had always been my plan. Got tired of state-side garrison bullshit though, and writing was on the wall that deployments would be drying up soon, so I got out after eight.
Badass. Glad you made it out with your sanity intact and not living on the side of the road.
Not living on the side of the road at least lol. Jury still out on sanity. Never stuck a loaded gun in my mouth and thought about pulling the trigger until my second deployment.
But hey, haven't seriously considered suicide since January. Turns out therapy can help if you actually need it. Better than taking a wienertail of drugs anyways.
Always remember kids, therapists can talk, psychologists can diagnose and psychiatrists can prescribe. To a hammer, everything looks like a nail, so if you go to a psychiatrist they are going to put you on drugs.
I raise my own meat, chicken and beef. Freezer always stocked. Keeping the animals is free.
Sell chicks I hatch, make $5 per chick, feed cost for my flock of 40-60 is $150/month. Hatch around 100 birds a month, so they actually make me money.
1 cow per year feeds a family of 4.
I have a herd of 20. They graze my 30 acres. Got my first cow for $500. Then I let a farmer graze his herd in my pasture and get my cow pregnant. Kept doing that to build my own herd for free over the past decade.
Central FL, so I have a garden year round for veggies. I have a fruit orchard as well.
My food costs are basically spices, rices, and wine. So maybe a couple hundred a year?
Incredibly based.
>Then I let a farmer graze his herd in my pasture and get my cow pregnant.
That's a really smart idea, do people commonly do that? Also, do you have to keep track of your herd lineage or anything to avoid inbreeding?
NTA but a lot of my family members that have a decent amount of land will let people nearby graze their herds on it for a fee. Basically a lease I guess.
Kind of a pain in the ass on my godfathers property, where we usually hunt. Fricking dopey cows always get in the way downrange. Have missed out on several deer over the years because those dipshits were too close and I couldn't risk a pass through or something hitting one.
Thanks anons, I didn't grow up around animals or with land but I'm hoping to get both of those in the future.
If you have land, you can rent it out to farmers to graze their herds. I moved here and then found a heritage farming family and let them use my land for free inexchange for their bull breeding my cow. It also have me agricultural status and a tax break.
So instead of cash, I got my pasture kept down without mowing, tax breaks, a baby cow, and a connection to an established and well respected family in my area.
The lineage can be tracked, but where I live there are thousands of cattle, so its not a huge concern. People trade bulls all the time for breeding. For chickens, they don't suffer genetic consequences of inbreeding until like 40 generations or so.
>Then I let a farmer graze his herd in my pasture and get my cow pregnant
Bit messed up letting that farmer frick your cow.
idk i just go to the grocery store when im hungry and buy some food
>woman doesn't know how to shop
shocking.
I probably spend that much in a month and eat ~2500 calories a day.
No you don't spend $170 per month and eat 2500 calories a day.
Easy as frick with oats, rice, beans and eggs. It only gets expensive when you start caring about good nutrition, which 99% of people don't do.
>Easy as frick with oats, rice, beans and eggs
Maybe 3+ years ago, not today.
I live in a neo communist shithole and even here oats only cost 1.40€ per kg and milk 1.20€ per liter. A kg of oats has 3600 kcal.
Prices for both went up 50% in the last 10 years but it's still cheap compared to junkfood.
Bro, where are you living? I can get a 1kg bag of rice for £0.45. That bag of rice has 3650cal. If you only used that, you could eat 2500 calories a day for £9.25/month.
Oats here will cost me £0.90/kilo. That bag will have pretty much the same calories. So with Just oats, it's about £18.50 a month.
Maybe learn to look for food in the right places. These both come from the same large chain supermarket.
Yes, oats and rice are cheap. Neither one of you brainlets mentioned eggs.
Okay, so eggs. The same supermarket sells a 6pk of small eggs for 78p. Each egg has roughly 54cal and 5g protein.
So if I ate 3 packs a day, that's 90g protein, and 972 calories. And a monthly cost of £70. £70 + £5.50 for the calories from rice, makes a total of 2500 calories a month, with 29g extra protein from rice for 119g protein daily, for £75.50 a day.
>The same supermarket sells a 6pk of small eggs for 78p.
Not where I live.
>if I ate 90g of protein a day...
>29g "extra protein" from rice
fricking lmao you are seriously moronic
Do you actually need me to elaborate on why rice doesn't have 26 grams of (usable) protein or why 90 grams of protein per day isn't enough unless you are a sedentary small man?
>119g protein daily, for £75.50 a day.
>£75.50 a day.
Inflation's hitting hard bong-bros...
>less than a dollar for 2 lbs of rice
Try double that in burgerland
Don't even bother reasoning with him. Not only did he completely make up his prices like a psychopath, he also thinks grown men should eat 90 grams of protein a day and considers rice a meaningful source of protein.
NTA, but you can get complete protein if you combo rice with other stuff, rice and beans being the age old example. Whatever essential amino acids one lacks the other makes up for. Bio-availability is still shit compared to animal proteins of course, and way more calories per gram of protein because an ass-load of carbs. But its not a terrible way to get a little extra protein in from your carb source, and if you are dirt poor it will keep you breathing at least.
It's rather cheap even for Bongland. When I lived there, it was closer to 1 pound per kg. Here in France, closer to 2 Euro per kg.
Why would you eat rice in France though?
25 lb bag of rice is 19 bucks
6.5 lb bag of frozen chicken thighs is 18 bucks
5 lb bag frozen peas and carrots is 12 bucks
5 dozen eggs is 13 bucks
costco ez clap
We're not all small enough that we eat <1 pound of meat and 5 eggs per day. Did you even work out how much protein/day that is? Go ahead and do that calculation and let me know, dyel brainlet.
0.9lb of chicken thigh = 100g protein
5 eggs = 35g protein
So 135g protein total. Is that not enough?
Not if you are an active male who weighs over 150 pounds.
So youre one of those people who have been duped by studies funded by supplement companies, kek.
>eating more real food
>taking supplements
You do realize these two things are diametrically opposed, right?
Get fat then , I don't care
>3.1g/kg LBM
Lmaoo you idiots actually believe this shit
>if you get all of your nutrition from food you'll get fat
What an absurd statement. You sound like the one brainwashed by supplement companies.
>you idiots actually believe this shit
I am not "believing in" anything. I've posted evidence from a scientific study which would also just be evident to any male who has seriously lifted in their lives. You have provided literally nothing.
btw if you're a female the protein recommendations are much less (about half). I wanted to clear that up in case you didn't realize that and that's where your silliness is coming from.
2.3 g/kg of LBM for someone who is 150 lb at 15% bodyfat is 135g protein. So that is the cut-off, and that's the lower limit. Your turn to post evidence of your claims.
you are not a competing bodybuilder
>don't listen to authorities on the subject if you aren't a competitor
What a stupid thing to say, especially since you didn't even provide any counter-evidence.
>don't take cooking advice from chefs because you're not a professional chef
>don't take sports advice from athletes because you're not a professional athlete
God, you're such a lazy homosexual.
>muh science
okay bootlicker

Who are you quoting?
I spend 200 and eat around 3000 calories a day, just buy bulk meat and bags of rice, beans, and veggies nibber. I also eat an ass load of eggs from my chickens, hunt deer, and slaughter my own lambs though.
Really now that I think about it I probably only spend about $75 or so I myself, the rest is dog food, diapers, and shit like coloring books.
>there are some non-essentials
Almost everything
>one onion
Lmao
like 70-90€, 3000 kcal daily. Food expensive as frick in the us holy shit
why do people waste money on shit like vegetables and fruit. they have pretty much 0 calorie. just buy the essentials and take a single multi vitamin once in a while. who are they trying to impress lol? geez
>fruits have 0 calories (they are actually a great source of calories)
>multivitamins are better sources of nutrition than real food
Stupid post.
Heh, pretty funny to watch amerimutts slip into third world country status and act all outraged as first-world living standards become unattainable to them
Its more funny watching yuropoors use terms like third world and first world 100 incorrectly. Go read a book, mutt.
>I never wanted to be able to always afford fresh fruit and veg- ACKK !!!!
€400 for a family of 3 but we budget €600 just in case.
I don’t keep track of my food expenses because I’m not a fricking poor gay lmao. Imagine having to worry if your monthly bill is 300 bucks or 500
I dont really, 200 bucks maybe, I am another fellow leaf but I get a lot of food for free cause I know a lot of farmers. Only thing I really pay for is maybe olive oil sometimes. My diet is just potatoes, eggs, cheese, butter, milk and sometimes meat but only if it is local. Local fruit is just apples, berries and plums/pears. I am not much of sweets guy, but if I am craving it I will go to the local farmers market and buy a apple or berry pie. Oh I do have to buy my raw honey from the grocery store cause no one does it local.
>berries
>assorted junk food
>diapers (notoriously expensive and a big pack
>expensive berries
>avocados
>watermelon
>frozen junk food dinners
What the frick do they expect?
Italians got by fine for centuries on onions cheese tomatoes and protein, all of which are cheap except maybe the cheese and meat which is still not that bad, especially if you make do on less expensive cuts
dont forget the macarons
Also this year I am going to try and grow some food and get chickens for eggs, I finally properly fenced in my property. Most of the locals I know do this already so I have great advice and support.
Fair warning, chickens are dumber than a box of rocks or just absolute c**ts, sometimes both. Best of luck.
Yeah I am aware haha thanks fren, I will try it out. My neighbour has his own chickens and fresh eggs all the time but I just want to try it out.
Around $800 NZD
I'm not fat, food prices here are insane
Like $300
NEETbux give me about $220 so not much out of pocket
Thanks wagies
Like 150€.
i don't buy groceries, my rent includes food (that i don't eat) and my gf cooks for me sometimes. i spend maybe $300 a month on sips and coffee
Looks like I've spent $50 over the past twenty day or so.
That sounds low, but that is from buying a lot of discounted and clearance food that will last for a while. It would probably last longer if I wasn't sharing with others.
On few trips I bought two 28oz jars of peanut butter for $2 each, 16oz Knott's jelly for $2.50, two Freshetta pizzas for $1.40 each, two Digiono pizzas for $2.80 each, a few 2.5oz of Bumble Bee tuna for $0.30 each, 5lbs of calrose rice for $1.65, and a loaf of bread for $0.67.
When milk is $3, I think that's probably the most expensive product I buy that isn't on sale.
Just post the in-store food prices and there will be an end to the horror
Underrated post.
I get $1,645 per month in SNAP/WIC (food stamps) for my family of 4. Only goyslop stores take EBT so we use it to buy non-perishables, then spend another $1k per month on stuff like raw milk, venison, elk meat, or whatever nice cuts the Amish have to sell.
How the frick do you receive these benefits? Srs question. I’m assuming you’re middle class. I was able to get them in college and get them taken away as soon as I got my first job which was $70k a year.
Because he’s poor moron
£120. And that's for 180-200g protein and 2500 calories daily.
how? no way chicken and whey are that cheap in bongland.
Whey protein will cost me £45 for 4kg, @ 80g per 100g powder, when not on offer, and there's often 20% off for it. I also buy skimmed milk powder from a discount store for cheap as hell, which equates to 50l of milk for £5 when reconstituted. But I generally eat pork for the extra calories and it's a bit cheaper.
I did make an excel spreadsheet to calculate all costs and macros based on meals for the month, but not sure where it is now.
>expensive fruit that isn't even nutritionally worthwhile, except the bananas
>avocados
>expensive as frick steak
>some overpriced custom baked macaroons which are also expensive
>nappies which are expensive and arent food
couldve bought frozen chicken, broccoli, a bag of rice, some spices, and just the bananas, peanut butter and sliced bacon
Around 350€ a month (Germany)
Not as cucked as sweden but pretty fricking close. Our boomers still think trudeau is better than the alternative.
About 400USD
I live in an expensive country and shop at Whole Foods though.
About 6750 Czech Korun or like 280 Euros and whatever amount in irrelevant obsolete currencies like USD.
Like $300-$400 a month. Not terrible but I'm single so it's easier to spend money on good foods for me
$110 so far this month, if I get groceries in the next few days maybe $130. I'm generally under $150 and I can go a lot lower. I used to, but I got tired of poverty mode eating.
>I got tired
Sounds appropriate for someone consuming 1700 calories/day and minimal protein.
Well I feel tired no matter how much I eat and there is little joy in my life either way. I actually was probably healthier eating a more spartan diet, now I let myself spend on snacks and stuff sometimes and while it gives me something to look forward to and enjoy eating, ultimately I don't think I am happier on average, so maybe I should just go back to beans, rice, potatoes, and chicken constantly.
The last time I actually felt good for a somewhat extended period was a couple weeks when I thought a girl liked me back, obviously that did not work out. so basically my diet does not seem to be the major cause of my perpetual tiredness and almost total apathy.
anyway I'm going to head out in a bit. I'm gonna see if I can do lmao1WTC on the stairmaster today
30 dollars
i survive on a dollar a day
24 dollars if i were to be exact because i buy 6 dollars worth of bottled water
35 bucks a week on average.
Although there are some bigger tri-monthly purchases like rice, flour, butcher box.
Why are you having someone mail you meat for 3x the price of a grocery store?
I go to the local butcher and buy a quarter cow. It's cheaper and tends to be higher quality.
Why would anyone mail meat?
When I lived in Michigan in early 2000s we ordered sausage from Texas regularly, because everything up there called “sausage” was little better than hotdogs.
Only time it didn’t work was when a package was two weeks late because it got stuck at an airport on 9/11. Didn’t even open that one. Threw it out as soon as it arrived.
Oh okay. I live near Mennonites so I tend to buy meat in bulk 1-2 times a year and freeze.
Ground beef I'll get from the store on sale.
Oh nevermind. I thought you were referring to the bugman subscription service called Butcherbox.
Just call it buying a quarter cow next time, sounds better.
There are many things in life I am willing to scrafice. One I refuse is food. I am NEVER going to eat slop, if I have to sit in the dark and read hand me down books from the library.
$400 to $450 a month for two. But I raise a decent amount of my own beef and pork, so most of the meat I buy is chicken, turkey, or special cuts once I use mine.
Too bloody much.1kg of chicken breast costs almost 10 EUR nowadays. Don't even get me started on good fat steaks. 2019-2023 fricked everything up.
160€ per month
My daily diet consist of 12 eggs, 1kg of Quark cheese, 100g of oats and 1L of milk
Damn is everyone a manlet with low calorie needs in here? I buy 25lb sacks of lentils and beans on a*azon and I have a giant freezer full of shit I get at Costco when I go once every 3 months, and I never eat out, and I thought I was doing amazing at $400 a month. My tdee is high and I bulk on about 4000 and cut at about 3000 so I have a high calorie need but some of you say you have girlfriends and spend as much as I do.
Before I started autistically trying whatever possible to reduce my food spending I would easily clear 1000 per month and not even realize it until I added it all up after the month was over. I live in California maybe that’s part of it
>inb4 California
Get over it homosexual I was born here and have connections here so I’m here
I'm not too tall and I usually eat below 3k, but I can easily spend 400eur in supermarkets, especially if I'm on a high protein diet. Eggs are 4-5eur a dozen, good steak is at least 15eur (not more than 350gr), 1 kf of chicken breast is about 9 (usually enough for 2-3 days only), high protein yogurt I like is almost 3eur. It's nuts if you don't eat some peasant/vegan shit.
You are doing amazing, especially in California.
Most people who brag about their grocery prices are very small, not active, and also eat out frequently and don't count that in their grocery prices.
You might ask why we have so many small people who eat out frequently and don't exercise on this board. My answer is I don't know.
I'm the $400/$450 a month for two anon, I'm cutting so it makes it cost effective.
About 1600 for a family of five, but that's everything from the grocery store (toilet paper, soap, etc.), not just food.
yesterday i got one bag of groceries. enough for two nights of spaghetti, 4 chicken breasts, about 6 cans of cat food and two coke zero six packs. that’s it. $60. I can’t take this shit anymore. October will be nothing but rice and chicken and ramen.
I spend about 70-80 USD a week and get almost double the amount of food he gets, volume-wise. What the frick
A jar of beef jerky is like $45. I don’t even know why.
>Hides the $80 of beef in the back.
$200, very healthy diet without 'trendy' foods, from Costco and Asian market. Probably should eat more since eating healthy only gets me 1500 cal a day and I need gain weight, but regardless it'll be $200, every month, for myself
Damn I guess I suck. Probably sitting at 800-900 a month just for myself. Eat ~4000 cal a day. Buy the good shit because why would I cheap out if I can afford it. Reading all these replies maybe I should look into trying to get it cheaper but I’ll be fricked if I don’t feel amazing so who cares.
>$170 AUD
Like most shoppers, they just mindlessly buy things without thinking to get a cheaper version or only buy things that are on sale.
But going through all the items, I really can't see it adding up to $170.
I dunno I’m almost 32 and mommy still does the grocery shopping. But I do pay them a lot in rent so it covers food costs.
Imagine still paying for your groceries in the age of self-checkout
>don't pay
>surely if I keep doing this they'll continue stocking food for me

Few months ago a grocery chain had decent promotion. I was able to get about $100 worth of food and drinks for a fraction of the price.
~$1100 for two
Like $200. I’m literally eating entire leg of lamb and boiling the bones to make broth and shit though. I eat like 2 lbs of meat a day and cook everything at home.
Around $200, Im' from a poor country though so the food is cheap, but income is also low. Not buying processed or otherwise ready meals saves a ton of money, primary ingredients are mostly cheap, though i do spend quite a bit on not-bottom-of-the-barrel chicken breasts, wild salmon, nuts, avocados, etc.
~400€ for gf and me.
i got about 3x the amount of food in this picture from the same store for A$100 yesterday. that wedge of watermelon is the same price as a discounted scotch fillet from coles, which are 2 for $15 right now.
About $600 a month. I eat a few pounds of meat, a half dozen eggs, a half gallon of milk, and some oysters every day.
>£80-£100 per week
>£50 worth of meat (2 packs of salmon, steaks, chicken, gammon, reduced fat bacon medallions)

>24 kvarg yoghurts, £18
>low calorie frozen icecreams for the sweet tooth, £5
>proper ketchup (tomatoes first ingredient not sugar), £3
>4 packs of reduced fat shredded mozerella, £6
>some crunchy rolled oats bars, usually 10 pack of nature valley maple syrup, £4
>weetabix protein, £4
>gallon of milk, £3
>coffee beans, £10

there's no way that's $170. Unless he lives in canada or something stupid like that.
>froze made meals
ewwwwwwwwwwwww
Rice, beans, chickpeas and eggs
Some of us exercise and want to be healthy, so unfortunately we can't follow such a nutrient-deprived diet.
man I live in canada, you know the place where grocery prices are a meme.
I've been going to local places and ignoring the big grocery stores and tbh it's been fine. Eggs are still $4 a dozen for some reason but that lasts me a week. I can get chicken quarters in packs that works out to about $10 for a whole chicken worth of chicken from a local farmer. Also not bad. Rice and potatoes and carrots and onions all are also the same price they were 5 years ago at these local places, although they have in fact doubled in price at the big chains. Sirloin is $6/lb for the local stuff, which I buy and cut into steaks or roasts. Ground beef is $4/lb on sale. I make my own bread from 20kg bags of flour.
I don't cook fancy stuff or salads, mostly old timey hearty foods like soups stews and some rice bowls / curries. It works out to be quite cheap. If it wasn't for my girlfriends specific food cravings and aversions I'd be eating for $30/week for myself, having done the math before. And I'm a big guy with a big protein habit.
This week the local farm had onions on sale because they had a big excess. Got a 20lb bag for $10. Not the cheapest sale but they're good onions. Made french onion soup for the first time and it was easy and delicious, just took all day. Used my stock that I make weekly from the chicken quarters.
Grocery stores are indeed gyping people and it's shitty and disgusting. But if you learn to cook and plan properly it's an opportunity to get ahead by saving $100 on food compared to the guy next to you.
Btw subway sandwiches here are now $26 for a combo. I stopped eating out entirely in 2018.
