    How much do you spend a week on groceries?

    Just curious. I'm at like 150 just for me and the kid. The wife just mostly eats my cock so she doesnt count.


    We don't buy lobster or crap like that. Just normal fucking Kroger type stuff.

      Oh yeah that should read "consumables" instead of groceries. Not just food but stuff like light bulbs, shit paper, windex etc.

          we buy normal shit too and we are up to about $150-200 a week just for basic groceries....that shit gets more expensive every time we go...by the time I am 50 we will probably be spending $300 a week on shit, it sucks


          and yeah, I mean shit you buy at the grocery store, not just food

              We spend minimum $300 a week at the grocery store, some weeks if there are sales on meat or something, we will stock up and spend $400 or more. We don't eat steak every night either, we eat things like pasta, chili, lasagna, stew, meatloaf etc. and once in a while steaks on the BBQ.

                  How many people in your household?


                  We waste though. Theres always a couple of chicken breasts or some ground chuck or some milk that gets tossed each week cuz it gets to smelling like Headless' armpitt.

                      About $100. I eat a controlled diet high in fruits and vegetables though, and that's dirt cheap here.

                          I'm just lucky that The Girl is 7 and still thinks a nacho Lunchable and some M&M's for desert is fine dining.

                              my wife and I, that is it

                              we are 100% total consumers, we have trash taken twice a week and we at least have 1 full trash can out front when they pickup....usually 2 though

                                  dude, if we were to eat all fruits and vegetables here, it would be twice as much....fresh shit is so expensive these days

                                      I'm with you on that consumer thing. I just need to try harder to catch up.

                                      I burn my trash, but if I had 5 bucks for every Barbie package I've burned I'd be a wealthy man.

                                          Man just eat ramen noodles, god. Sure you'll die in a few months of malnutrition but shit, you'll only spend around a buck a day per person! THINK OF THE SAVINGS!

                                                  Yeah, in Costa Rica fresh fruits and vegetables are dirt cheap. Things like prepared foods are not.

                                                  Keep in mind I only eat ~2500 calories a day.

                                                  I do spend another $100 or so on supplements each week, however.

                                                              Around $400/week through Peapod (if you figure I order roughly every 2 weeks, since we have huge freezers/fridges) -- but the extra cost is worth it to avoid the peons at the store.

                                                              Most of the extra cost doesn't come from stupid expensive shit, but from fruits/veggies to use in the juicer, etc. That shit is about $30/day.
