Forums - General Discussion - How much money do you spend a day on food?

I'd say about 5-7 dollars a day. Sometimes it is higher if i splurge. I can get it lower if I really focus on being cost-conscience.

I buy in bulk, generally 5 kgs of meat at a time and then do meal prep for the week. I'd guess $10 per day is about right.



So I just made a stew from green peas, potatoes, slices of salami, oil, salt for maybe 3$ in a big pot (3 large portions). I am also baking my own bread using a machine for maybe 1$ per >1 pound bread. You can eat for very little if you cook yourself some basic stuff.



3 $ seems about right, of course this a typical weekend day. At work the food is from the company, which is about 2.5-3 $ by itself.

Of course, I don't live in the US. But life is not exactly cheap here. Try to eat healthy, it is much cheaper.



About $1900 total a month.

Being uncle is awesome, fml.

Breakfast = $0 (skip it)

Lunch = $8-$12 on a meal at the food court at work

About 3pm = $8 on two large red bull cans

Dinner = whatever the wife makes



 

 

Quick investment tip: if you save only 5$ every day with 3% interest, starting at the age of 20 ending at retirement 65, you will have 166000$ saved - a good rural house.

Not too much. A couple of bucks. I eat very little anymore. Changed my diet, went from 265 in April to 195 today.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

Nothing. Parents make breakfast and dinner. I go to college from morning till afternoon and I just starve till I get home cause I'm cheap and broke.
