Keeping Costs Down Without Sacrificing Quality

[muscle99]

Hey everyone,

What do you buy/eat that you classify as both quality & cost effective?

[samoan_muscle]

Cant go wrong with Oats and PPowder.

What I have been doing lately:

Carbohydrates - 4kg boiling potatoes $5 from Countdown (special) 84 cals per 100g, 4.2g P, 36.4g C

Protein/Fat - Home Brand tinned tuna $1.87 each 253cals, 28.4g P, 15.4g F

Be on the look out for specials in the supermarkets each week. they all vary. stock up when cans of chicken and tuna are cheap. even go as far as sourcing some protein powder of mates who get bulk supplies.

Buying everything in advance when its on special.

You can get some good specials on the sealord and homebrand is always cheap. Stock up.

Getting the non-bagged or single kumara works out cheaper than having it baged, oats and rice are usually cheap. Nutrawhey unflavored ghetto as, but just what you need.

Edit, jokerised totally stole my thunder lol
