Title: $500.00 on food per week... Too much?
Post by: chainsaw on July 01, 2008, 05:53:44 PM
I spend that on food a week.
I don't even eat that much.
Mostly fish I import from seattle
finest cuts of meat and chicken.
Organic Vegetables and fruits, berries.
I go out to dinner only 1x a week.
2x at the most.

How much ya'll spend?
When I was 18 (20yrs ago)
I would eat off of about $40.00
a week.  $60.00 at most.

I can afford it (kind of) or I wouldn't do it,
but then again I don't eat shit
and frozen fish sucks.

Its not the quantity, its quality.

500$ is too much for me. Even if I was eating the best I'd think that's a rip off. For what you're paying I'd grow my own veggies. You'd save a ton.

Good point. If your a lifter food is functional IMO, to enjoy the food or concern yourself w/ quality to this level is a moot point. Getting the best in this case is wasting money.

LOL!

If you eat good foods, not junk, you can easily get by on $100 a week.

A perfect example is Oatmeal, 10 cents per meal (1 cup), throw in some tuna and other low cost fish and you should not be spending $500 per month.

I agree - one person can eat a large quantity of very high quality food for $100 a week - not including meals out.

One good meal out could easily run $50-$100

According to you, you are 38 years off age...you spend $500 on food per week...and you don't eat much.

In general, you're spending $500 on food per week.  Groceries including finest cuts of meat, and organic fruits and vegies.
My guess: You have a family to feed; and 1 or 2  business luncheon/dinners per week?

If you have time to go to the gym, how much do you pay monthly for your membership?

If Bush bombs Iran and those bitches shut down oil coming out of the persian gulf, your grocery bill might get that high.   40% of the world's oil cuts through there, and Iran has vowed to mine the shit out of that water.  US military announces they think they can stop this.  Time will tell, I spose.  At the very least, bombing iran stops their exports and we see a spike in oil prices (which in turn affects what it costs to produce and deliver foods).

If oil is $170 or $200 a barrel, a $500 food trip isn't impossible.

ok, let's see, $500 / week = $26,000 / year. Let's assume you're in 20% tax bracket, so that means you're spending $32,500 pre-tax dollars on food / year alone.

Well, sounds like an average getbigger. Keep up the good work.

I'm a bit skeptic. Do you spend $500 just on yourself or does that include your family as well? I live with my pops and groceries cost the two of us roughly $200 a week. Typical food that can be found in our fridge/pantry:

Gallon of skim milk
Quart of juice
2-3 dozen eggs
Ground turkey/sausage
Some sort of chicken parts- breasts, whole, thighs or leg quarters
1 salmon filet and usually 1 other white flesh fish
Deli meat- roast beef, turkey, ham
Typical veggies- lettuce, carrots, peas, onions
Carbs- oatmeal, potatoes, rice, rye bread
Pint or 2 of ice cream
Bananas, apples...now peaches and nectarines
Not too much junk and some canned food that gets replaced about once a month.

I think that's a decent amount of food for 2 guys to live off of and it's normal grocery store quality stuff. So if one person is eating $500 worth of food per week I'm assuming they're going to be pretty damn fat.



Post your average week's worth of eating.

I spend about $1000 on food a month just for myself, all organic, although I don't buy the most expensive cuts of meat and don't do fish all that often.  Given that, I can see $2000 a month being realistic if I were to substitute my cheaper cuts of organic meat with filet and NY Strip along with more ocean caught fish. 
Title: Re: $500.00 on food per week... Too much?

Obviously, anything organic is going to be be more expensive. I don't see the justification for going organic when there is no added health benefit other than the placebo effect on the mind of believing organic food is much better for you.

Another thing to consider, let's say $500 is being spent on food...how much of that is actually being consumed and what portion goes to waste.

If you eat good foods, not junk, you can easily get by on $100 a week.

A perfect example is Oatmeal, 10 cents per meal (1 cup), throw in some tuna and other low cost fish and you should not be spending $500 per month.

I prefer some food with taste,
Not Oatmeal 2x a day.

O.k bast,

I order king salmon which is $29.95 a pound
and I eat alot of Tuna Sashimi.
You can't eat that if fish is frozen.
King salmon is less fatty than coho farmed salmon.

I agree, I could cut down food costs by eating more blandly.
I choose not too.

6 pounds of fish with shipping costs me $200.00

I easily could do this 2x a week but only order once a week.

I have a wife, and 2 dogs, which my dogs eat better than many
children.  I bake a turkey a week, and feed them turkey, rice and
mixed vegetables.

Again fellas, its not the quantity, its the quality I choose.

You are talking like you plus 500 $ a week on food = the best thing since Sergio Oliva  ::) .

If you don't eat a lot starches and grains, then it can get expensive. The cheap stuff is usually the stodge you can fill up on.

 If you only buy top of the range organic produce then it can quite easily creep up there , even for one person. I wouldn't know how much I spend on a weekly basis but I do ,unfortunately, have expensive tastes. I eat a lot of sushi too, which is hard to make yourself and comes at a premium.



If I didn't fill up on brown rice (white if it's sushi, obviously) I would be haemorrhaging money. Brown rice and sweet potatoes are what makes my shopping bills just about acceptable.

Nah you got me all wrong.  Everyone that has read my posts over the last 3 years
should know I'm really not like that.

I bust my ass telemarketing to be able to eat like this.  And believe me, I wish I
had a savings account.  Thats actually why I posted this, to get some input.
I probably could eat off of $80.00 if I had too, but I don't think I'd be happy though.
Not at first anyway.

I don't like chemicals and bacteria in my food,
and I'll pay extra to ensure that for my wife and I.
Especially with Raw Tuna.

my company has a very large kitchen with all kind of food, it's very healt orientated.
they have a very large Salad bar and I get me 3 small plates of Salad with very few salad nudels mostly green Salad sprinkled with some balsamico.

Beside that the Cook has taken a liking for me and has Turkey ready cooked for me evey time ;) so I take 3 of them.

Total: Aprox 14 Euros

So montly: 280 Euros

People look at you funny but by now they all now it's part of the training, good thing is I don't need to cook before hand.

my company has a very large kitchen with all kind of food, it's very healt orientated.
they have a very large Salad bar and I get me 3 small plates of Salad with very few salad nudels mostly green Salad sprinkled with some balsamico.

Beside that the Cook has taken a liking for me and has Turkey ready cooked for me evey time ;) so I take 3 of them.

Total: Aprox 14 Euros

So montly: 280 Euros

People look at you funny but by now they all now it's part of the training, good thing is I don't need to cook before hand.
nudels ?  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

O.k bast,

I order king salmon which is $29.95 a pound
and I eat alot of Tuna Sashimi.
You can't eat that if fish is frozen.
King salmon is less fatty than coho farmed salmon.

I agree, I could cut down food costs by eating more blandly.
I choose not too.

6 pounds of fish with shipping costs me $200.00

I easily could do this 2x a week but only order once a week.

I have a wife, and 2 dogs, which my dogs eat better than many
children.  I bake a turkey a week, and feed them turkey, rice and
mixed vegetables.

Again fellas, its not the quantity, its the quality I choose.

.......actually it's quantity.  It's the quantity of people eating under your roof.  You spend $500 on food per week, with no explanation of how many people you have to feed at home.  So, $500 per week is in general terms to feed: yourself, a wife, children (4-6 children), inlaws (if they live in the same house), and two dogs.  Now, I can see why you could spend $500 on food per week.

I spend that on food a week.
I don't even eat that much.
Mostly fish I import from seattle
finest cuts of meat and chicken.
Organic Vegetables and fruits, berries.
I go out to dinner only 1x a week.
2x at the most.

How much ya'll spend?
When I was 18 (20yrs ago)
I would eat off of about $40.00
a week.  $60.00 at most.

The trick is to use more than one protein/carb sources. Buy 2-3 bags of chicken or fish at costco for maybe $70 and have 1-2 pieces a day. Maybe albacore tuna can 1/per day at 50cent a can = $15 month. Quaker Oatmeal wholesale box is like $8 and will last a 1-2 months. Brown rice or sweet potatoes is really cheap too. Costco EAS whey 4lbs is $30 and at 1/2 scoops a day will last a month. Bags of frozen veggies will cost about $20/month. Boom a bit under $200/ month.

Yes he spends way to much on fish.  They just a news special on the other day on fresh fish in las vegas.  most of it is flown in overnight and there are two to 3 flights per day arriving in vegas with fish.  So alot of the fish here is fairly fresh.  And flash freezing them is fine.  Turkey here is only 89 cents a pound so that is nothing.  I too try to cook a turkey a week and just eat it throughout the day for a few days.  I have been eating cod, tillipia and catfish lately.  I buy it and it is $5.99 a pound on sale.  I am so used to really fresh fish and pretty good prices but they aren't that bad here.  he needs to go to the japanese market on Decatur across from the 24 hour fitness to buy fish.  it is fresh and the prices are great.

2000USD worth of food/month...no eating disorder?

It is peanuts for some of us and 12months worth of foodstamps for the trailer people.

It depends what else you do.
If you dont work and cruise around in your helicopter having fun all day
then its all good.

Or if you have every thing you need, dont need to work at all, just work for fun.
Have he perfect house, swimmingpool, car, motorbike,
and a big chunk  invested somewhere then it is all good as well.

If you work full time, all week, pay the bills, go the gym and eat, not saving much, if that is all you do
then it sounds pretty stupid to spend it on food.

Here's the deal: Some people don't think the point of grocery shopping is to buy the cheapest food you can possibly find.  If you buy the best cuts of organic meat as well as ocean caught fish then you can easily generate a 2K food bill at the end of the month.  I don't want to eat frozen fish, or frozen anything.  I don't want to eat fruits and vegetables with pesticide residues and I don't and I don't want to support factory farming; hence, a large food bill at the end of the month, which I don't mind one bit.  I don't spend any money on alcohol, I don't have particularly expensive hobbies(with the exception of bbing), and I do find that eating the way I do makes me feel much better than eating the way I did before, so it's only a pleasure for me to spend the extra money on the food.

I see both your point and chainsaw's. However myself personally could not do this just as if I was rich and could not buy a mansion of unlimited size. It's just not how I think. I would think of so many better ways to spend the money like investing or socking it away. I mean we are talking 24k a year on food!

I eat out almost every day, but rarely spend over $15 / lunch. Probably $500 / month eating out and another $500 on groceries. But double that?  ???

I don't nessecarily do it for just the looks,
I want my organs to function properly.
I don't want to die of cancer prematurely.
I'm not a competitive bber and don't wish
to look like one.

I'm only 6'4'' and 220.
I'm not very strong either.

hahahahhaa, probably goes down to the dock in his NPC string tank and purple spandex bike shorts and stands there with ILS while the dock workers who are twice his size unload his "cargo".


Hahahhhahahahaahha
Do you know what ILS is?
For us it means Instrument Landing System.
You have no clue my friend.
I'm on a Whole different level than you.

My friend.

Vegetables my friend.
Also, I live in Vegas,
and Johnnyvegas should vouch for me,
The middle of the desert.
Fresh fish is non existent "worms and salomenella"
tapeworm may like the worms,
I don't.
Nor my wife.

My dogs I guarantee eat better than (alot) of
kids in the USA....
That, my friend, is SAD!

I was a praising your endeavor for working very hard, to bring forth $500 of food to feed your household.  How many teenage children do you and your wife have together; and does your inlaws and parents live with y'all?  Makes a big difference when there's many to feed at home; and especially with family members having allergies to certain foods.

Still no reply to the number of family members he feeds; that cohabitate with him.

  I'd be willing to bet that in the next 10-20 years people are going to look back at the way most of today's food is farmed and cringe, not only because of the cruelty factor but also the toxicity of everything that goes into the food the average supermarket is carrying.  I know full well that there are some 'organic' scams out there and it's not all as good as new agers will have you believe, but equally as much as I know that, I know that most of it's not that way especially from the small religously driven family farms, like the Amish.  Organic farmers markets were my best friend when I lived in the states. 
  In regards to meat, I eat mine fresh and raw with no seasoning, just the way it is. Anything less than organic(I prefer organically grass fed) is anywhere from poor tasting to unpalatable.
  I can think of few things better to spend money on than healthy food-at least it goes in you rather than on you-things for which most people spend much more money on than I do food.
