Why'd you have to call me out personally?
I don't like cooking, and getting a single meal of chicken rice and potatoes and veggies is $22 with tax.
Could I cook all that shit myself for a fraction of the cost? Yes. Am I going to? Fuck no.
I have a 7fig net worth, I can afford it.

I spend about $300/mo. including eating out and some trips to the bar. I'm definitely not optimized. I could probably cut that by a third if I wanted, but I don't want to. I've gotten lazy and frankly lost the drive and desire to do better. Is this what life is like post 30 until you die? Complete listlessness and anhedonia? I haven't even made it yet and I'm so apathetic you wouldn't even believe it.
>>
>>61235217
there's no way you spend just $100 a month with todays prices even when cooking from scrap and looking for deals

Go ahead and make fun of me, I know it's stupid but food is my only pleasure as a khhv. God I need to hit the gym and eat clean again

i can make chili for under $5 (can of beans, can of tomatoes, one pound of cooked ground meat) two days worth of eating

Wanna bet? I cook 95% of my meals. If you arent lazy its possible. Stop going to Trader Joes and expensive as shit grocery stores.

>>61235383
what's a typical grocery list look like for you?
I'm not saying you're a liar, $200 is very doable, but $100 is a bit of a stretch, that's less than $4 a day
>>
>>61235398
For reference, here's a grocery list I came up with that provides 100% of vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber for a day, 1400 calories and costs $3.30/day (about $100/month)

Chicken Thigh
Black beans/Pinto Beans
Carrots
Cabbage
Greek Yogurt
Milk
Bananas
Protein Powder
Supplements (Omega 3, Vitamin E, Vitamin D+K, Creatine)

So again, I'm not saying it's impossible, but it requires a bit of planning. Also, you are probably deficient in some nutrients.
>>
>>61235368
Where are you getting a pound of ground meat for under $5?
>>
>>61235217
There is not a chance in hell your monthly grocery bill is $100 dollars. You have to be eating 1 meal a day if thats the case.
>>
>>61235217
I probably spend 600 a month. Easily 120 a week on groceries alone. All of the above what you eat plus salmon, dairy, cereal and rotisserie chicken on the regular. This doesn't even include alcohol

Sort of. That's what high functioning depression basically is. You've had dreams and goals before; they've either been fulfilled or disintegrated in front of your eyes. Now you struggle to find a new purpose, each option seemingly more futile or underwhelming than the last. You've settled on this life of moderate physical comfort accompanied by searing mental anguish, because you know that seeing the highs of an enjoyable life again and falling back into this pit will drive you over the edge, maybe for good. Best to stay down in the shadows where the pain is almost unbearable, but the torment is a known quantity, which is preferable to something worse.

I spend about $60 a day on food just for myself and more if a girl comes over

that's only two meals + water

Lunch - $16+

water, fruit, vegetables, snacks, coffee, and protein shakes makes up the rest

It isn’t a lie at all. I spent $700 last month. OP should have said $1300, cause THAT is a lot.

>>61235217
Is $600 really that much?
I spend about that much and I already have to buy stuff on sale and mix and match.
>>
>>61237002
Serious question. How does anyone survive on less than $600 a month for food? Is OP trying to get replies?
I already have to remove stuff from my cart and not buy everything I want.
>>
>>61237076
Depends, I spend at least $400-600 for two people, with that being the vast majority of our monthly spending. Per person? Should be closer to $300, depending on the area you live in and where you shop. Walmart is usually the cheapest overall but the food quality isn’t that great.

Bro wtf?
I literally dont buy everything I want already and buy on sale.
I shop pretty much everywhere.
Wtf are you and people eating? Like I dont get it.
You guys are either skellies or unfit. I pretty much eat the minimal diet and it is $650 a month.

Also, can all /biz/ anons post how much they spend per month? I spend 650. It isn’t much because I already don’t buy whatever I want and eat less than I want.

Wow. lmfao. I don’t get it. If someone spends less than me, then they eat worse than me and I don’t buy everything I want. lmfao. Some of you guys must eat like shit.
>>
>>61235687
>Where are you getting a pound of ground meat for under $5?
I buy it on sale, sometimes its 1.99 (turkey or pork) sometimes its $2.99-3.99 (ground beef)
if it gets crazy expensive I'll buy a pork loin or shoulder and grind the shit myself.

>>61237084
No it isnt. I live in Toronto.

How the fuck do you people spend so little? My groceries were 650 last month for basic stuff and I had to not buy one 4lb lobster and 2 pounds shrimp which would have been around $100 bucks which would have made my groceries $750.
Are you people legit eating rice and beans?

I’m only 145 pounds but little stuff like pic related only lasts me a day or two and that’s only maybe 10-15% of my calories max. Most foods are cheaper generally to be fair. I feel like at least $10-15 a day is pretty normal for me unless I make some pasta or something cheap. I do order doordash twice a month but considering my income is almost 200k before taxes I think I have the right to spend a bit more than I should.
>>
>>61237108
You're right it's $12 per pound

Still that makes it so chicken alone is like $200 per month
>>
>>61237156
So how do you spend so little? This isn’t even about money. I already omitted multiple ice cream purchases myself and one lobster, and 2 pounds shrimp. I mention those things because those are actually the things I omitted and it is only like $120 which would make my monthly spending $750ish.

How much money do the people in your country pay in monthly extra fees when purchasing groceries?
>>
>>61236910
Rice, oats, eggs, fish, milk, chicken, beef, veggies. I also splurge on a loaf bread from a local bakery once or twice a week, locally fresh roasted coffee and expensive canned tuna. Oh, and protein powder which is a pretty significant expense. I usually will cook something kind of extravagant once or twice a week as well. So I could spend less on food but why would I? I can afford it and the quality of food that you eat directly impacts your mood, athletic performance, mental acuity and physique. Most Americans eat worse than medieval peasants.

My thinking exactly, or rather that’s the rationale I use to justify buying premium olive oil, yogurt, meats, etc. But convenience is something I’m willing to shell out for when it comes to other stuff so I get where you’re coming from. When I do eat out it is typically at a nice place where we’re spending $100+ a person without drinks (I don’t drink but my wife does)

Ya bro, you're eating the slop. Grass fed beef? Grass fed raw cheese? Free range eggs? Healthy snackies? Organic produce/berries? Way more than 100$ a week.

7 figs close to 8 figs or low 7 figs?
It aint that much bro, does it include your home?

Throw in some raw milk or at least grass fed milk while you'rr at it

>>61237237
Idk. I guess 7 figs is fine. Like home 1m. And 4m networth. You can spend 1000s a month on food.

You guys will need to explain how you spend so little on food a month. I dont even eat out. All you people that eat out e every day for lunch probably spend 1000s a month.

it can be done for cheap

the worst markup is on the sides, so i will buy chips + drinks at the grocery store, but go out to get a sandwich/hoagie

costco is cheap calories... i live 5 min from an uncrowded one and their food court has a hot dog combo for $1.50, pizza slices for $2, chicken bake for $4, turkey sandwich for $7

fast food apps have deals, mcdonalds app i get a 2 mcdoubles + fries + drink for $6... little caesars is $6 for pizza... popeyes is $6 for 2 pieces of chicken, 2 sides, biscuit... deals are out there if you use their apps

If you actually do that, make sure the houses you offer are insulated better than what the average Chilean is used to. We westerners are used to the indoors of our homes being warm even during the winter. Spend the entire day in just your undies tier of warm.
My impression of South American houses being poorly insulated comes from reading just a single travel story so it might not be accurate

I spend $1000+ per family member every month because I live in a desert and fruit and veggies are almost all imports. Beef, too, but it's not that expensive tbqh.
Mostly cooking at home, btw, lost 10kg last 3 months, now at around 20 bmi.
I buy mangoes/blueberries/raspberries from the Deira waterfront market which is priced 1/3 of my local Waitrose, and I still pay $100+ per order (at least once per week).
If I start eating strawberries again, that will increase even further, since strawberries are one of the things I'd only buy organic.
>>61235296
I usually meal prep my souvlaki, it's one of the simplest things to do at home.
I like French corn-fed chicken, or Australian organic, but any crappy chicken would do. Just marinate in yoghurt, olive oil, lemon, salt, pepper and oregano/thyme for a day, then grill, they're tender and tasty for 5 days straight. They're great as they are, but can also be put in tortillas/panini np.
