    I spend 80-100 at the food store every week and i also eat out a lot. I dont know how you can do it at 170 ever 3 weeks. I have notice my food store in North Jersey is a lot more expensive then it was in Philly.

    wtf???????????????200?

    is that pesatas,dollars or pounds?

    in england basic food you need to bulk costs roughly;

    12 eggs £1.20
    6 large chicken breasts £4.50
    easy cook rice 20 servings £2.00
    porridge x 1 kg £3.00
    5kg potatoes £2.50

    total £13.20

    if you ate this every day it would cost around £92.40 approx $185.00 per week.and im pretty goddamn sure you wont eat that much everyday

    Yeah ill be living in this studio style apt for 5 weeks this summer during summer sessions at my college. It kinda sucks becuase there is no oven but there is a stove top and Ill have my george sent home with my blender and microwave so thats all I will need. I figure for the month it shouldnt run me more than 300 bucks for food.

    Eggs 6 bucks for 5 dozen
    Oats 3 bucks for 30 servings
    Tuna ( 50 cent cans at walmart is a blessing)
    Cottage Cheese
    Whey
    Frozen chicken breasts
    cheap canned veggies

    Ill be aright for a month ha

    My shoppping list for the week..
    THIS IS NOT THE CHEAPEST WAY OF GOIN THATS FOR SURE..

    I drink about $6 in protein shakes a day.. thats 2 a day...
    thats 42$ over a week.
    Lunch at WORK.. is usually around $7 a day, thats usually ordering a large pizza or some other meal.. so 49$ there. (save me the preaching!)

    I usually eat.. $10 worth of steak a week, plus $5 in steak fries or so.

    than i usually buy chicken breast runs about $14 a week...

    thats 120$ so far.
    Go atleast through one cereal box.. 125 maybe
    MILK n EGGS.. 135 or so.
    miscellanous stuff like mac n cheese, tuna, oats whatever... maybe 150 ish than..

    150$ a week, and its a decent bulker.

    yeop, if I goto costco, its cut down a bit. But I goto a few other wholesalers, but evenstill, it cost me alot of cash to eat... I buy bulk bags of chicken breast, lots of tuna (dont actually eat dolphin), 2-3 cartons of eggs, lean beef etc... I just figure if you eat to get big, you may as well do it right.

    I hate eating out though, Id much rather cook for myself and keep my simple boring life in order. lol
