I'd rather eat rice and beans

Are you retarded or just fat and stupid

>>contains all the major food groups: meat, veggies (toppings pending), wheat (bun) and oil
it definitely doesnt include veggies.

you can get rice, chicken, real veggies for 60 a week.

>tfw no emoji gf

>not posting the unedited version.

>implying I want to eat gas station hot dogs for every meal just to save $40

Im not sure what you are doing....... But your food bills are too high. Quit buying pre-made shit and cook from scratch. Its cheaper and healthier

How in fuck are you spending 200 a week on healthy food?

Wtf is cooking and buying actually hard for some in the world? How do you tie your shoes. Groceries for good quality meals family of four $100.00 Us a week and that’s eating steak one night of seven seafood 1 night, And so on.......

>$200/wk if you eat "healthy"

Maybe if you shop at Whole Foods. I can get cheap ground meat and vegetables for pretty fucking cheap.

you need to hit costco and youll only need to shop once a month. go to farmers markets for fresh veggies. Buy best meat u can at costco then freeze.

Eating healthy is significantly cheaper than eating fast food. People are fat and unhealthy because they choose to be fat and unhealthy.

HOT DOGS HAHAHAH AMERIFAT EATING CHICKEN PENIS AND BONE FOR 200 A WEEK
>healthy
Come to basque country you pathetic human and see how da gods eat then kill yourself

>$200/wk for a single person

Somebody needs a brain. Does Sup Forums actually have to point this out? I shop once a month and eat well. Buy in bulk come home butcher out meats separate in portions. yeah its a 5-6 hour day but dam. That's how you save money to buy homes or other expensive needs

There's no way that THAT McDonalds can feed 4 Americans

take off your larper flag I guarantee you are a burger

...

This.

Primarily it's laziness. People don't want to learn how to cook their own meals, or take the time to do so.

I taught myself to make various types of stir fry and lost 30 lbs just from not eating out as often.

>get value chicken, 10.50$ for about 5 servings
>buy big box of spring mix veggies 5$ maybe 6 servings
>bread for like $5 serves 5+
>can of beans 3$ At least 2 servings
>peanut butter $3.50
>butter $4
>couple lbs of bananas $3
>couple slices of cheese $4
>$2 for a dozen eggs about 4
>$3.50 instant oatmeal, like 5 servings

So $40 a week about

Slow cook the chicken with some BBQ sauce or spices, tastes pretty good

Breakfast eat boiled eggs or oatmeal.

For lunch, grilled cheese or a peanut butter banana sandwich with veggies or beans

Dinner cooked chicken with beans or veggies.

I've just started living where I don't have a dining plan or home cooked meals, and this is what I've been running for a couple weeks. Works pretty well, dead fuckingn easy to cook and I think after a while it actually averages to $30ish a week once the peanut butter and other foods start carrying over for other weeks.

Eh, we have just as much fat people desu

I can get a 12 inch beef frankfurter and a 18 oz soda for $1.50 at Costco, I dare you to find a cheaper lunch that is equally filling.

this. Im poor as fuck and literally cannot afford to eat out even at mcdonalds its so fucking expensive compared to just making shit at home

>drinking the liquid jew

>not ordering from the value meal
>getting the full meals

look at me mr fancy bigmac meal.

nigga i order a mc gangbang for 3 bucks off the value meal

>leafs

>Cook some chicken in a pan
>Cook some rice in a microwave
>Cook some vegetables in a microwave or eat them raw

It's not hard. Throw some spices and stuff on the chicken and it's really easy and nice.

>cook rice in a microwave

If you're not fucking retarded you can eat healthy on less than $100/week. If you're not a poorfag then you'll just shit money at Wholefoods just to avoid the shitskins that shop at cheaper places.

>rice, chicken, real veggies
I refuse to be at a level to eat like the rest of central and south america.

btfo

It's a fountain drink, I can get whatever I want. On hot days like recently I get lemonade cause it's more thirst quenching. There's a Costco about 5 minutes drive from where I work, it's the cheapest place to eat anywhere around there. I don't eat there every day, but it's my go-to option if I don't have any leftovers for lunch and couldn't be assed to prepare a sandwich in the morning. Because it's the cheapest meal you could ever possibly find.

shit then eat ground beef and noodles instead. its not that hard

>200/wk if you eat healthy

This nigga fell for the organic is healthy meme.

I could eat in Australia for $50/wk if I was so inclined. Food is cheaper in burgerland. Learn to home economics.

A well stocked pantry can produce a 9"x18" lasagne home cooked for around 8 bucks. Good quality food not a pre-made soysagne that gives you the shits

2 McChicken's for $2.50 or Double Cheesburgers if you prefer that
That's more than 1 meals worth, so yea value menu is cheaper than even the pinto beans (aka shit) and rice "healthy" meal

yeah and you dam near have to eat it while setting on the toilet so you dont shit yourself.

that's a good goy

>so yea value menu is cheaper than even the pinto beans (aka shit) and rice "healthy" meal

It also leaves you feeling hungry because processed foods digest quicker than unprocessed foods and overall won't give you as many calories.

If you cannot make a meal for $8 or less in the US that is both higher calories and more filling than a big mac meal you should learn to cook.

what it comes down to is people being too fucking lazy to cook their own food from scratch

btfo x2

I spent roughly 40 on groceries a week, and i think i could spend less and eat healthier.

Why did they take Home Ech out of schools. Dam lets teach kids how to balance a check book, cook, do laundry. If you cant handle those 3 things you r fked

>$100/week is typical in the US
I usually spend $40-45/week on groceries for myself, not exaggerating at all. I buy fruits, vegetables, good bread, and other healthy stuff that is cheap. It's cheaper to cook for more people also.

If you're spending $100/week on groceries in the US, you're spending an absurd amount and should reduce this number by 1/2-1/3. Fast food is for lazy people who like shitty food which makes them unhappy. I can cook a half pound of good pasta with 4 slices of garlic toast for $3 (pasta is always on sale where I live for $1/pound, sauces are $2 and I use half a jar, four slices of good bread is around $0.75, and the rest is ingredients like olive oil and herbs), and since I like cooking the enjoyment I get is free.

>Not getting 9 double cheeseburgers and drinking water

lul

>home ech
>echonomics

American education

I usually buy corn flour, rice, beans, vegetables and the cheapest meat available.
To give you a better example, tonight I cooked dinner for my family with $5
$1.75 - 1 pound of turkey meat
$1 - pickled green olives
$0.50 - 1 pound of rice
Rest was random vegetables that were on discount.

ground beef, cumin, tomato paste, lentils, rice, beans

eat that forever

>???

profit

Eat a

this
rice and beans is the best budget protein

Ahhh my tortilla press is calling me

I spend $125-$150 for two weeks of groceries for two people. That's $30-$40 per person per week.

Enjoy your 7/11 cancer food, retard.

>typical groceries for an American is $100/wk

What the fuck are you talking about? I spend about $100 / month and eat pretty fucking well you nigger.

stop buying limes and cheetos you faggot.

I doubt that. You can realistically probably live for less than that if you're not an average stupid american and cook for yourself.
They get what I mean

These guys are right, I spent about that much a month until I put more time into learning how to cook instead of learning how to build. You can survive pretty fucking cheaply if you stop eating trash, and you feel a hell of a lot better.

>200
>healthy
go to a farmers market and eat skinless
chicken thighs. 75 maximum

Hummus and all that shit is cheap to make

This. $50 a week in Australia is actually pretty good.

You need 7 limes though.

Also limes are like 3 or 4 for a dollar

I think drinking 32oz of soda daily will literally kill you . furthermore, eating the kind of bread found in commercial hot dog buns is also extremely harmful to the body. there are ways to eat that are far cheaper and far less toxic than eating from 7-11 every day.

100 a WEEK? Jesus Christ no wonder people are fucking poor. Try cooking once in a while, seriously I can feed myself for like 50 a month

put some clothes on.

if you buy dollar store canned beans instead of grocery store canned beans, you can cut your bean bill by 66%+

Also you can probably find a local produce market/befriend people who grow their own stuff/start growing your own. Jesus Christ man, it's America, goods are mass produced, technology is easily accessible. I've got like two stores for such shit and we can live on our own pretty cheap. Even if you're in the city there has to be people who go to the outskirts to make shit - I'm not talking about about all those green/oiko jew memes that bump prices all the way to luxury. You simply don't look deep enough. People make community farming a thing too. OP is either fishing for yous/underage/too stupid to understand there is more to the world than just shitposting and memes.

Naw man, got to have them eggs.

How the fuck are you spending $200 per week on groceries for one person? Two people here can eat healthy tuna, chicken, fish, all of the veggies, avocados, beans, cheese, and everything in between on a $120 budget, and it lasts for ~13 days

I refuse to niece americans shit is that expensive, maybe you're just retarded

I work 40 hours a week and commute another 5-8 hours a week

I find it very difficult to cook 3 meals a day from scratch

What do you eat for $50 a month? Trying to go max savings right now

massive faggot

>posting the cropped version

You should watch a few vids of people living off the grid. Cook in batch and break it down for the week, or month.

> Baked potato or baked sweet potato for lunch (go very light on cheese and skip sour cream and it's actually very healthy). Potatoes are nutritionally rich, people just fry it too much. You don't even need oil to bake a potato.

>frozen veggies are dirt cheap, great for meal prepping. You don't even need to cook em just throw it frozen on top of your meals and microwave the whole thing when you need

>chicken thighs without the skin. One of the cheapest cuts of meat, high in protein and minerals

>eggs

>brown rice, pasta, beans for filler foods

>homemade sandwiches

poor people are fat and poor becsuse they are lazy

Do big batches of food for 3-4 days or more, unless your situation is extremely exceptional, there is really no excuse to avoid cooking your own food, soups made of chicken, stews, lentils, etc are easy to cook and you don't have to supervise the cooking closely, you just add some ingredients at the right time and that's it. Soups and that kind of food can be frozen so you can accumulate several types of soups and switch them around to avoid eating the same every day.

Average people are too lazy to do this

eggs, lentils, beans, rice, and maybe bulk chicken breast.

I've bulked on $20 a week

Fuckin beaner speaks the truth, I would switch between beans and grounds beef and chicken and lentils. By some glass Pyrex containers with lids to sore your bounty. The initial investment may be somewhat high but your gains will benefit.

Also, eggs (fried, scrabbled or boiled) and oatmeal are an excellent and cheap breakfast.

$400.00 US just unloaded yesterday.
10lb whole pork loin
20lb ice glazed frozen chicken beast
10lb Breaded frozen chicken strips
25lb frozen chicken drumsticks
6lb kielbasa
10 lb frozen battered shrimp
4 lb Ny strip steaks
10 lb flour
20 lb sugar
few packs of hotdogs
all my canned and dry goods
snacks for the kids
condiments and cereals
We buy bulk meats packaged for restaurants
Fresh meats in large cuts and butcher down.
Shop smart feed family of 4 DESU that is more than a months food

>muh cheap foods
Have fun on your diet with zero variety. Only so many times you can expect someone to shovel beans, rice, and chicken down their throats, before their body starts rejecting it.

7-11 has 2 bananas for 1 buck.
A gallon of milk for 3.50 lasts a week.
A loaf of bread for 1.50
A Jar of peanut butter for 4 bux
Hotdog+soda is 1.99 They have chilli, cheese, onions, relish, pickles, etc.

>>can get hot dog and 32oz soda from 7-11 for $3 * 3 meals a day * 7 days a week = $63 dollars

No way faggot.

>be me
>$63k a year doing long haul trucking
>$34k a year growing cannabis and yield 30+ pounds,selling it undervalue to dispensaries and local dealers

I boggins my noggins why nobody attempts to do at least a small subsistence garden.

Easiest way for liberals to start to solve their so called climate change. Large Ag creates many problems including pollution. Small gardens can produce a lot of savings and save the planet.....

I remember when the value menu was called the dollar menu. Enjoy the overpriced high fructose corn jew

i remember before they even had a dollar menu

>$200 a week
>$800+ a moth
>$800 = R10483.92
>Literally more than I earn most months as a diesel mechanic/engineer.
Life is great!

Shit you got it right senpai

I went to the grocery today after the gym. In my area eggs are $2.75 a dozen give or take.
> 8 servings of Spaghetti $1
> Ragu Garden Variety sauce $2.80
> 2lb bag of Frozen Broccoli $2
> 5 servings Sausage Links $3.50

If I break it into 4 meals its $2.32 per meal, pasta with 12 oz per serving

If I break it into 5 meals its $1.86 per meal, pasta with 9.5 oz per serving

Substitute the Sausage links for ground beef or turkey for a little more.

I'm not even going to bother educating someone this far behind. You're unsavable.

Eating healthy is cheap.
>potatoes
>beans
>rice
>chicken
>onions
>any vegetable that sells for 99 cent a pound or less (collard greens, mustard greens, brocolli, tons of others, almost all vegetables are under 1.99 a pound)

Bruh why haven't you left yet? I'm from SA but my family came here when I was 3 in the mid 90's. Was in Jo'burg earlier this year. Get out man.

>long haul trucker
>wife works "intellectual" job with high-flying men

enjoy while it lasts, cuckereeno!

things liberals dont understand:

>how to live on $5 food a day

another one for the List?

I can't even afford a plane ticket kek. I basically work as a mobile service unit and my average income is between R3500-R12000 ($267.08-$915.69), some months less. Basically every "good" month's money is there to cover for the shit months.

lmao at your fucking life dipshit. don't drink soda. EVER.

Good job senpai, you and me both. I spend $40 to $50 a week, could pay less if I didnt get stuff for post gym smoothies.

> 1/2 Berries medley
> Orange juice
> 1/2 Greek Yogurt
> 1 scoop protein
> 1 tsp glutamine
> add water for desired consistency

you can buy pinto beans for $550 per ton

Sorry about that user. I hope you fare well. You must immigrate to Texas. Boers are all over Dallas. I grew up in an upper class area and had no less than 20 boer friends who weren't related or knew from before we left.

Here's another list

>420
Ayyy... I miss it but can't (strict drug testing). But! I'm going to retire from trucking in October (11 fucking years) at 32 and concetrate on more bud harvesting.
But yes, soil erosion is a real motherfucker and massive industrial scale farming is unsustainable.

Thanks. I am exploring a variety of options and currently working towards that. I have a acquaintance that works the combine harvesters in USA during certain seasons and brings back a substantial amount. I have been trying to get into that so I could maybe get a foothold there and possibly emigrate. It's extremely tough going though.
