Food Shopping and costs:
I’m a big fan of eating on the cheap, since I end up eating quite a bit while training and dieting. This requires a lot of planning and learning to buy foods on the bulk, which keeps the cost down. My total diet consists of spending about $50 a week. This ranges from buying two boxes of eggs, which contain five dozen eggs / or I’ll purchase 6/7 containers of egg whites, since it requires a lot of time to prepare the separation of the egg/egg whites.
What was purchased last week:
6 containers of egg whites (large containers)
1 colossus action figure – (gotta feed my son’s appetite for superheroes)
1 bag of chicken
1 container of crystal lite
3 cans of diced tomatoes
1 Large container of oatmeal
Total cost - $34.00
Groceries the previous week:
10 dozen eggs
3 bags of chicken
5 containers of tuna (10 oz)
Lemon juice Total cost $53.00
The focus is to stay under budget, but have enough food to last the week and hopefully carry some over for the following week. I’m not a big fan of the giant box stores, but they purchase items on such large economies of scale that it’s nearly impossible to purchase these items at a normal grocery store/smaller mom and pop store. I’m constantly looking for new avenues to purchase my food, so if anything comes across the plate I’ll pass it along.
