[sma]

im at 250cad from my gf and 1 year old son trying to get it down to 150 and sometimes 100.

 

[Jasons1985]

I try to budget $150 but i usually always spend more then that.

 

[Montego]

Me the wife and 3 kids.... Around 250 a week

 

[j4ever]

me, my wife and 1 child, 150-175 per week.

 

[GettingBackIn]

My wife is in prep, I'm doing a show diet with her but not competing. We spend $200 a week, $300 when we need to add in supplements and such.

still trying to figure out how to calculate groceries . Without having set meal plans like i know rice oatmeal potatoes are cheap so thinking about making caseroles and stir frysfor dinners. But still hard Were going to try and meal plan with all thefood we have on hand before buying anything to get an idea . Anyone have ideas when trying to save money.

Try buying in bulk. We got memberships at Sams and BJs. We spend a little more when there but the stuff lasts a while. I wish we had a Costco. Also if you are trying to save money download one of those coupon apps. We save at least $20 when we use them. We average about $100 a week. Give or take a few bucks.

I didn't know that about Canada. That sucks. I don't know what your goals are so I can't really comment on your diet. I personally stay away from pasta these days because it sticks with me lol. Having a meal plan though will definitely help you save money. It did for me. Then you can make adjustments as necessary. My problem when I didn't have one was usually by the end of the week I'd be buying my lunches out or we would order dinner. Since having a solid plan and knowing what works for us my food bill has dropped a lot.

I don't really have any current goals I train when I can my goals are in investments and my career. But I like eating good healthy food I just don't want to spend an arm and leg on it. For ex beef here in Canada on sale is 5.99 lb chicken 3.99lb and that's after there pumped with sodium and water.

I hear you. It's hard to save a buck these days. Hopefully a plan will help you.

[thethinker48]

I don't want to talk about it...

Lol seriously. It goes beyond food though. I've tried to figure out total costs of food, supps and gear but stopped counting after supps.

 

[kcameron13]

The girl and I are both on prep, so we are around $150 a week when we break it down. There is a great bulk meat marketplace here that we buy chicken 50lbs at a time and flank steak 30lbs at a time.

 

[Elvia1023]

$300 per week for myself. It's expensive where I live.

 

[anarchocapitalist]

Not much I just eat a lot of chicken, eggs, rice, and potatoes.

 

[Chipper Jones78]

live in Toronto, canada right now (for work)and man, everything is expensive.

I miss southern cal

Costco seems to be my best friend right now.

 

[ZOFO1973]

Wife, 3 teenagers and me- roughly about $250 a week. Wife and kids also train. That $ amount is just food. It doesn't include supplements and whey.

Damn if I included supplements I would probably get depressed and realize why I am so poor
