[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 3678736, member: 13337"] [B]More importantly, how the heck can one only spend 80 bucks a week on groceries like someone was saying earlier? Short of ramen, buying beans and rice in bulk. Pretty sure I spent more than that as a broke college kid.[/B] I'm single and buy food that I actually cook,,, I don't buy processed "frozen meals" or grocery store "fast food". Except for those rotisserie chickens they sell at Wal Mart,,, I swear they put something addictive in the chicken. But even they will give me two full meals,,, Sometimes three. I grocery shop once a week and spend approximately $55 to $65 a week,,, I have a "bench stock" of food in my larder,,, And only buy what I use in a week,,, I just replenish the larder. I eat well my friend. I do meal prep though,,, One day a week (usually the day after I shop),,, I prepare 6 to 8 meals and save them in segmented Tupperware containers. Preparing the weeks meals only takes me about one and a half to two hours,,, That's only one DVD or Netflix movieplaying in the background. It's usually a weeks worth of meals,,, They usually includes a chicken breast,,, Or a 1" thick slice of a nice Pork Sirloin Roast,,, With a half a can of two canned veggies in each container. On that day my George Foreman grill gets a workout. After I got a real job and quit eating like a college kid,,, My cholesterol numbers dropped considerably,,, And my Type 2 diabetes is well controlled. If you have a family I can see how this would be much more difficult,,, But if you live alone like I do,,, It's easy as pie. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
