I agree, the prices are outrageous, espicially the grains like quinoa, the organic greens, that's why I go to places like Trader Joes when I can, prices so much cheaper.

If you compare to whole foods, you will love not only the prices but the quality as well.

50 bucks a week, I guess it can be done, no going to whole foods or anything else organic, including wild rice, that stuff is 7 dollars a pound.

Yeah but there is no way in hell I could just eat eggs and oats for breakfast, Chicken, potatoes, and broccoli everyday 7 days a week.

Sorry but I gotta have pork chops, ribs, steak, yogurt, PB, and some fruit.

I'll do less somewhere else so I can have a variety of food but at least now if all I had was $50.00 I'd know how to eat.

Hmmm find it hard to believed that but how much chicken, meat, fish he buy a week. So if its just chicken he is buying would you wanna eat chicken all day through the week lol. I spend 186 Aussie bucks a week on 6 days and 7th day is my cheat meal.

I love chicken breast. I have 6 large ones every day. Only reason iv don't have 7 is I b have a lot of protein powder to use up and trying to save money. I've been on 6 ac day for all over 6 months. Never get tired of them. Just plain chicken breast with black pepper

In the south. thighs and leg quarters go on sale for .99 for thighs and .59-79 a lb for leg quarters

gotta shop around, read the sale papers weekly. I debone and take the skin and excess fat off. thighs unless im bbq them. Its hard to over cook thighs on the pit.

I never get the ones with the bone-in, too much work for me lol

I would honestly rather pay a little bit more for the convenience of not having to de-bone them. Plus, my wife is a manager at a grocery store and when the breasts go on sale, we stock up big time. I love chicken thighs, haven't had them in a while and will start eating them again. I forgot how much I liked them until I saw this video lol

I love chicken breast too Sammy, and I don't mind eating bland foods day in and day out, the same thing every day, but I think I'd get sick of eating 6 chicken breasts a day! Maybe mix in chicken thighs to change the monotony (sp) of eating for me anyways. When I talk to my wife about dieting, she laughs because she can't stand the thought of eating the same food each day

It's not good to eat the same shit every day. I eat tons of protein every day. chicken, beef, kangaroo, Camel, buffalo, fish etc. Why do people eat same old chicken shit every day is beyond me. That's not a balance diet.

I agree, but Kangaroo and Camel is tough to get over here in Florida lol
Camel Toe, now that's a different story
I guess the main reason is convenience for most people. If you're going to knock back 5-7 meals a day, it's just easier to cook all your stuff at once and eat the same stuff. Switching up the protein source for dinner is obviously much easier since it's at home, but at work, kinda stuck with the same stuff. This is, unless, you want to switch that up too, but still doing a big meal prep

Lol true. Turkey is just like chicken to me. A bird is a bird lol. Haven't seen a meat market yet offering horse... Will ask and see lol.

 

[Rory33]

Also not all of us are chefs. Even if I had camel meat I'd be wondering "what the fuck do I with this???" Lol

I know mate I was yanking ya chain about the damn Kangaroo aka Skippy and Camel. Yeah I understand the economy is pretty rocky in your country with money and food cost etc. It is tough out there but half meat and half protein powder is a solution and also eggs too which they are cheap.

Turkey is freaking good for ya! Quit horsing around mate. Horse meat but I will past thatm wouldn't wanna try horse. Its cruel to kill horse for meat. Now now I don't wanna get into vegan thing for now.

LoL Well treat camel meat like beef or chicken same concept.

In the UK chicken breast and tuna flakes about the only affordable lean protein there is unless you want to live on powders. They don't call it rip off Britain for no reason. I can buy a good cycle for the cost of a weeks shopping these days

$1.49 is the cheapest I have ever seen it. That was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Typically looking around $1.99/ lb from local farms at our store.

If I go to Sam's and get Organic Free Range I'm typically looking around $3.00/lb which is pretty darn good.
