How to get big on a crap budget?

[kevin_j87]

I live off tunas, baked beans (drained), rice and bread,lol.

I buy heaps of frozen mix veg,save heaps of money~

PakNSave sells roast chicken,i usually get those rather than roasting the bird at home. 8.90 to 11.90 , not bad i guess. and save time too

My food intake for the next few months will be something like this (weekly shopping list), same as it was prior to the christmas blowout.

14 Chicken Breasts

7 Cans Salmon

1 Packet Milk Oaties

2kg Kumara

2kg Whole Beans

14 Bananas

2kg Brown Rice

2-3 Dozen Eggs

I might chuck in some rump steak for a treat when its on special or looks good, from time to time you just feel like some red meat. So all up thats not much over the $100 mark just for me, although for the extra $50 a week I would still add in some whey protein to get some easy protein in there. If I was being honest I would say I am probably spending more on supplements a week than on actual food, going hard to gain as much good muscle as possible in the next 4 months and therefore pulling out all stops "NATURALLY".

Potatoes are around $1.99 a kg. I keep a plastic bag of quartered baked potatoes in my bag and snack on them during the day. Cheap carbs.

$2.49 at Mill st really? Clarence st Pak n Sav has it on special for $3.09.

I pretty much live on brown rice and tuna. I think brown rice taste just the same as white but is easier to cook because it doesn't stick together nearly as much.

I also go through a lot of milk, skim milk powder cost around $9.80 for 1kg, that's less than a dollar for 35g protein, I haven't found a cheeper source yet. Drinking milk is a very cheep and easy way to get in extra calories and protein.
