$500.00 on food per week... Too much?
« 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.

Most are all show no go!

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.

How exactly is the imported fish better than fresh fish at local supermarkets?

It goes well with the finest wine, of course.

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.

Ya why would you import fish when a local market has their fish probably flown in every day of two I'm guessing.

I guess it depends where you live.

Do you think John mccain understand this?  Or any of the inbred rednecks who are already popping out new babies to ship off?

mccain has admitted he doesn't have an email account.  he doesn't know how to operate a computer, cannot tell the difference between a mac and a PC.  He has no idea what the average cost of gasoline is today.

I think he's a little out of touch, yes.  I don't think anyone can argue that.
