Your weekly shopping - how much does it cost you?

Cravez

I wanted to put up a thread to ask you all how much does it cost you weekly in shopping to get the food you need to train, im not talking about supplements just food in general such as meat, cottage cheese, fish, brown rice etc etc. I feel i dont put as much food into as i should be putting into it, as a student i only have a limit on what i can buy and eat for my training. I just want to get an average cost to support and maintain your bodies so i have a rough, realistic idea of what im looking at to be buying.

Cheers

My weekly food shopping comes in at anywhere from 100 to 120 a week.

About €55, I would say.

EUR 75.00 to EUR 100.00 on average. That said, I could probably do it cheaper if I wanted.

Edit: Emmet & Dragan, what's the story with the new sigs?

Lidl annoy me with their lack of nutrient labelling. I know it's not really a big deal, but it is annoying if you're going to buy something you don't usually, and you want a ball-park figure of what's in it.

because_I_can

im at about 10euro a day.
i live next door to dunnes so i buy everyday as opposed to every week. i suppose i could do it cheaper if i did a weekly one but i find if i have food in the house i eat it straight away. Best not to have too much lying around
