What is your daily food spend?

[Pseudonym]

I reckon I average about $25-30 a day on food. What do you spend?

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

bout 3.50

[Spacebound]

15ish on the cheap

[Skeletor]

Just for me id say 35ish. Over 40 on weekends .

[ngapuhi strong]

No more then 12 id say

[Clueless]

Mmm I think under $25 a day. Very rarely eat takeaways -  cook meals to take to work.

[AZIDE]

$35/day which is a lot more than i should spend

[Gym rat]

When I was in Wellys for the sevens spent about 40 to 50 dollars a day on food since i was eating out lots

[Phedder]

Just worked this out the other day, through Jan I averaged $180/wk at supermarkets so approx $25 a day. Maybe another $20-30 on some take away or a meal out. How I used to survive on under $100 a week I have no idea, student mindset probably haha.

[soundsgood]

I eat 4 x muscle fuel meals per day which costs $280. Half a bag of oats, some bananas and some stevia probably takes me up to $290 per week

Throw in 1 lavish cheat meal per week at a nice restaurant which is usually around $60.

I spend about $350 per week on food which is $50/day average

This food cost is offset by the lack of supplements I use. I prefer to use real food for my gains

Oh yeah, I probably should have said - my figure includes whey protein as food.

Man, some of you guys are doing well keeping the food costs down!

[jimmybro1]

Food shopping bill is pretty variable $130-180/wk with the occassional subway and whey added on top of that. Along with rent it makes it hard to save for anything! 

[Skeletor]

I also should have added that mine includes my whey and aminos and fish oil/ flaxseed/ multi/glucosimine and glutamine. I buy a cooked a chicken almost everyday.

[Wookie]

$20 a day for myself and my wife and my 7month old son.

I used to do around 40 a day for just myself. Eating less and trying to be a bit more frugal.

[Bruce Al]

$14.30

i don't like to waste food.

One of my meals that I had in Wellys was 26 dollars which was at the Grand on Courtney Place

You have no choice being a student haha. But i get a free dinner at home so i got that going which is nice. Apart from that i buy all my food.

Usually goes

1. whey, banana, peanut sandwich. $3ish

2. oats w/milk, tinned fruit. $2 

3. 425g Creamed rice $2

4. Tortellini pasta $3

5. On sale Steak/ other meat and toast $4

6 Dinner $free 

7. Post work Protein shake $2

Not everyday is the same, but something like this unless i get take aways and then total cost doubles haha

[Michael Knight]

I eat vegetarian 5 days a week (no homo)

 

That has really helped keep costs down.

That's awesome, a riveting tale indeed.

Mine is so inconsistent. If I had a family and stuff it would be really drilled and calculated but at the moment I don't even do a weekly shop I probably go into the supermarket 4 times a week and buy what I feel like I hate living in routine when I don't have to.... For example what if you buy chicken for tommorow night but then tommorow you don't feel like chicken? Unless I on a tight as budget then Eff that. today was $40

you Guis like that story?
