I'm trying to make a budget and I was just wondering how much you guys spend a week on food (including meals out at restaurants). I was estimating about $150/wk, but that seemed high. Just curious what other people's budgets are like.
it depends what my diet is up to and how many times I buy other people dinner (hee hee).
but with my new diet, I'm only spending about $40 a week on food - maybe as much as $80.
that includes all of my meals for the week.
then another $30 for going out.
that doesn't include my protein powder which I now get the MQ stuff that is like $50 something for 6 weeks worth...
and it doesn't count the food I eat off the floor of mcdonald's when I'm begging for pennies
wow. I didn't expect to find such a wide range. I estimated that I would spend $150/wk, so I guess I'm somewhere in the middle. I could easily spend more if I had the money, but my budget just doesn't allow it. I guess that's just one more reason to try and focus on getting lean.
