How Much Do You Spend On Food?

Funka Genocide · 09-15-2010, 06:46 PM

So its recently been brought to my attention that I'm some sort of freak of nature when it comes to my food budget, which is to say that I don't really have a budget and pretty much just eat whatever I want regardless of cost, in fact most of the time I couldn't even tell you how much the meal I just ate cost since I didn't bother to pay attention when I paid for it.

I estimate that I spend between $150 and $200 a week on food, this is primarily because I eat out whenever I feel like it and subsist mainly on "fast food" of varying sorts. Premade sandwiches, chinese food, burgers, that sort of stuff.

Of course this is terribly unhealthy and totally fiscally irresponsible, but in the interest of research I'd like to get some honest estimates from everyone on how much they spend on food per week/month and what sort of food they eat for that money.

I have no idea.

I am probably almost as bad as you.

This pretty much constitutes deep intropsection on my part. I probably wouldn't have ever noticed I was totally abnormal if my girlfriend didn't constantly point out how incompetent I am with money.

I mean, I'm not terrible with money, I can save and what not and cut expenses...

But man, fast food is like my weakness. Hardees all the fuckin' time, and ordering pizza when I don't wanna go out, and subway whenever I go to Wal-Mart 'cause there's one in our Wal-Mart and they make amazing tuna subs.

Yeah, I'm good with my finances for the most part, except for food. I order food way too much, mostly out of laziness. It isn't like I don't know how to cook, it's just I don't always feel like going all the way to the store, then getting food, then preparing it, and then cooking it, just to eat something.

It would probably save me a few hundred a month if I did, though.

My roomate and I spend about $125 in food every two weeks or so. I estimate that between shopping trips I spend about another $30-50 a week in eating out if my girlfriend is over on any given weekend.

My food budget is 100 a month with another 50 on top of that in case I want a burger or a steak or something.

100 a month? Dude seriously, are you like actually a ghost and just typing that to fuck with the living?

It's not hard. Peanut butter, jelly, and bread are cheap. Water is free and milk or juice is less than $3.00 a gallon.

Ok but let me ask you this, if you made like, lets just say, $4500 a month, would you still spend the same amount?

I don't think I could actually eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to be honest, let alone survive off of them for a month.
