How much do you spend on food?

Recommended Posts

Well i think i was spending around $50ish for just me. Anyhoo, i asked because i'm starting this and it's $98/wk. So i was curious if it was super expensive compared to what most people spend on food. I know 3 people at SDC that are using this and they've lost weight and look great. Plus the thought of fresh meals is quite appealing. :)

So all your meals are made for you? Thats a great deal!

Not having to cook is a great thing! I liked my diet last year - didn't have to cook for 2 meals a day - not having to work or plan food can really work!


Good luck!

I know a few people who have actually done that, and other then the portion sizes being kind of small, they said the food was actually very good. :)

Me and the lady roll in at around $150 a week for everything. That includes non-eating stuff like detergent and plastic bags, but doesn't include the occasional foray into town for a restaurant visit.

Looks like a good program; damn, no distributors in Virginia. The only problem I'd have with the program would be that if I DID eat out for whatever reason, I'd come home, see that expensive-as-hell meal sitting in the fridge and think about how it'd just go to waste, and end up eating it too...

Maybe $50/week...raw veggies, spaghetti sauce, noodles, mushrooms...that pretty much covers it.



What kind of mushrooms? :S

Lets see............I have been in Baghdad for a little over a month now. I bought a Whopper over at Burger King once. Those are $5.25. Ummmm.........I bought a 12 pack of Cokes for $1. A bottle of Bacardi for $20 and spent $3.00 on a box of Graham crackers to go with the 10+ lbs of honey I got from the Iraqi Prime Minister the other day. So that's $29.25 in the last month. I like SOME things about living in Iraq. B|

Good question sunshine. Ya know I've never really tried to calculate it. After some figgerin and cypherin. I think I came up with $200 for 3 people. That included beer, it does not include eating out. We buy alot of stuff at Sam's and try to be frugal with food. Not alot of snacks in the house. Mostly sit down meals type of food.

2 adults & 1 8yo who eats as much as me.

Oooooh! Is the food good? That's a lot less expensive than Gourmet Perfect, which is like $35 a day.
