How much do you spend on food per week?

[uberman09]

I'm planning a new diet,

Cashew nuts, Almonds, Cheese, Turkey Breast, Olive Oils, Spinach

I've calculated that I would spend around £25-30 ($41-50) per week

I don't use supps. Does this sound reasonable?

same. 40/50 just for me, and another 40/50 for the girl.

I buy in bulk at Costco.

I have 3 prot shake a day, and 3-4 regular meals.  My wife will stop and buy a few things now and then, but usually $60 or 70 a week at costco and $50 or 70 a week at the regular store is all i spend.  

Are you 250 with all them meals? 

[Colossus3]

I guess im lucky that i found store near me that sellls eggs for 89cents a dozen but they said in the begining of the year they going to go gup to 1.20     .   I never shopped in costco might give it a try but i just dont see the point of it right now since food like chicken,eggs, sweet potatos right by my house is so cheap as it is.

[Pikapi]

Its not that much food. Im not a monster but i am trying to get bigger little by little.

Now that's the attitude!

[CalvinH]

$130-$150.

I live in Chicago (expensive city). Like i said over here big chain stores like Jewel or DOminiks sells dozen eggs for 2.50 or 3 dollars, salmon is 7 dollars a pound , chicken breast is 5 dollars a pound but if you go to smaller stores then its way cheaper like eggs for 89cents a dozen.

Big chain stores jack up there prices because they spend millions on advertisement and they usually have twice as many employees then the smaller stores.
Im sure BLOCKHEAD knows of the store im talking about "Shop and Save " right next to niles xsport in golf mill mall.

That's not true at all.  The reason big chain stores like Walmart and Costco can sell things for so cheap is because they are a massive facilities that buy huge amounts of products in bulk (which nets them a discount from the manufacturer), making their overhead costs lower.  You're savings at your favorite store are due to the owner taking a smaller profit in hopes of making up for that loss in volume sales.

[WhiteCastle]

About $70 per week in Chicago.

Salmon burger patties, rottiserie chicken, eggs, italian beef, fish sticks from CostCo.
Produce from smaller produce stores & stands (really good prices and selection, 1/3 price of typical grocery stores).
Fresh caught fish from Isaac & Steins fish market.
The rest from Whole foods and trader joes.

[TheGift...]

That sounds about right. I spend anywhere from 45 to 65 a week on 14 dozen large eggs, 6 packages of chicken breast, 3 salmon , sweet potatos, oatmeal and natural penut butter. Just have to know where to shop.

Is this chicken that you buy frozen or fresh??Am from Europe and I buy frozen chicken breast from Brazil that 5$ per 1Kg (2.2 pounds)...I don`t know is this frozen food safe to eat but it`s affordable!

Colossus - try getting to Woodman's.  There's one in Aurora and one in Kenosha (WI).  Groceries are cheap as hell there.  Jewel and Dominicks down here are very expensive.

[Devon97]

$180 per week for food ONLY.

I eat alot of Wild salmon.

[tbombz]

Once you get over 250lb look at around $300 a week if eating good clean food.Getting bigger costs MONEY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

it doesnt have t be that expensive though, tuna and rice are very cheap. you could get sufficient protein and 1 thousand grams + of carbs everyday for 300 a MONTH.

My problem is dinning out. Just got back from Pio Pio. 109$ plus 25$ tip. Food was killer though. Tres Leches cake and flan. Pisco Sours were going off!

So, when does your show start of the food network?  Hit on any a list celebs this week?

[Colossus3]

I love eating out as well.  Nothing beats Chicago style pizza and hot dogs    and i love double cheese with cheese fries from portillos washed down by chocolate eclare cake.  Too bad cant eat like that every day!

[Swedish Viking]

I'm hittin about $350 a week. 

[alnassak]

No more than $100 a week (at max) in diet mode which I am now 

Bulking up cost me around $150 a week

[Equilibrium]

I spend around £65 per week in the butchers/supermarket and then probably £10-20 on fast food.

[webcake]

$0.00

[Danimal77]

When I was bulking up, I was averaging between $150-$180/week on groceries alone (just for me). Today, I'm averaging $100/week. This doesn't include eating out at restaurants of course.

[nzmusclemonster]
