Re: How To Live On $30 A Week (for food)
Haven't watched the vid, no offense OP, but I prolly won't, lost me at Prepper Princess, lol...saw the headline though and chiming in.

I don't worry about money much, but I've been fiscally conservative with food as a habit for years. I eat to fuel my body, not for the enjoyment, but I still love what I cook as well, and I do sometimes indulge myself with my favorites.

Even now with prices high and going higher I'm eating good, and good means I'm not annoyed and I'm content, on $50 a week. Great soups, hearty casseroles, easy lunches, some pizza and drinking food mixed in, and all of it decently healthy.

Granted I'm not buying organic and obviously not eating steak, but I'm happy and not feeling the pinch at all.

1600 calories??

Bwahahahaha

I burn that amount of calories before breakfast.

On my 10 mile runs I burn about 1200 calories in the hour and a half it takes me to run it.

Factor in some mornings where I follow my runs with jump burpees and pushup/pullups and I need that just for breakfast.

Then I go work climbing trees all day....

I consume about 4-4500 calories a day and still sometimes go to bed a little hungry.

If there's a famine, I'm in deep doo-doo.

Maybe I'll be like AJ a d go eat my neighbors....

any recipes?
 Quoting: Alejandro Kirk



A good tried and true recipe, shredded cabbage, peel, and cube potatoes, slice up an onion, cook up some bacon.

Boil cubed potatoes, cook up bacon, saving some of the grease. Using some of the bacon grease, sautée onions and cabbage until soft. chop up bacon and toss back into the cooked cabbage and onions, drain and put the cubed potatoes in the same pan, Cook until potatoes are browned, add some salt, pepper, oregan and some smoked paprika.

It's just a fraternity prank, right?

When I was in college I got food stamps for working on campus (work study). I never really used them, so at the end of the month I would take my housemates to the grocery store (a girl from Micronesia and a Japanese girl), and tell them to buy whatever they liked for a feast. That was a blast.

Re: How To Live On $30 A Week (for food)
my one meal of the day has been 5 strips of bacon and 3 eggs and about 3/4 cup milk with espresso shot. water or tea or more milk and coffee for hydration, but of dark chocolate, some jello.

that's less than $30 a week, but sometimes graze a bit, especially to get electrolytes lost from heat/sweating.

bacon and eggs keeps you from being hungry, for me it lasts the whole day.

Before 2020 I used to travel on work assignments. I was starting a new assignment and had limited funds as we hadn’t gotten paid yet. My evening meal back at the hotel for 5 evenings consisted of tuna tacos with black beans and hot sauce.

From the Dollar Store I bought:
Pack of soft flour tortillas
2 cans of tuna
Can of black beans
Bottle of hot sauce

It was all brand name items. $5 bucks for 5 meals.

Prices in Canada are ridiculous... I took the time to go onto the No Frills grocery store website (cheapest place to buy pretty much all groceries..

Whole chicken cooked $9
3 oranges $1.54 per orange, or get a 3lb bag for $3.99
Bag of green beans $3.99
Celery $2.49
2lbs carrots $1.99
Apples - 4lb bag $6.99
Ben's rice (in box like rice a roni) $3.29 x 2 boxes
No name brand box of brownie mix $1.99 or Betty Crocker for $3.99
Dozen no name eggs $3.59
2 Litres of Milk $4.29
No name raisin bran $4.29
No name brand coffee same size $6 (actually believe the size is smaller)

Total - $57.19. CAD


We are not struggling for groceries, but winter time does suck here if you are wanting fresh produce, the prices are insane. During the spring/summer/fall I grow as many veggies that we can get. I freeze those and berries that we get from the berry farms. Having a child that has many food allergies, this would not be realistic either.

What about those weeks that she needs to buy toilet paper or laundry soap?
