Grocery List...what it cost?

Ok I haven't bought groceris for myself in almost 3 years. Eating these quanities of food what would be a ball park cost for me to eat for the month? I would probably be buying in bulk but no garuntee's

15 dozen eggs (~6-8/day)
15lbs ckicken (~10oz/day)
15lbs steak (~10oz/day)
15lbs Tilapia (~10oz/day)
~30 potatoes (1 a day)
~10lbs or brown rice ( ~2.5lbs/week)
2 containers of oats (~1 cup/day)
4 gal of skim milk (if this lactase works) (whenever to get in cals
4 containers of fat-free plain yogurt (same as milk)


Geeze that looks like A LOT of food and im a little scared of what the $ may be.

Man, food prices are ever so rising right under our noses. I do about half of the grocery shopping(which i HATE doing). I can tell you that it's going to be quite a bit my friend. Milk itself has become ridiculous in its pricing.

Milk alone is almost $4 a gallon. I'll bet thats $300-$350 easily. 45 pounds of meat is gonna cost.

I dont think that will cost too much. $25 for milk. $40 for the chicken. $50-60 for the steak. I might be off on the fish, but Id guess about $30? $25 for the eggs. $5 for the oats. $15 for the rice. Maybe $20 for the yogurt. And $20 for the potatoes.

So yeah, $250 or so. Thats not bad, like $8 a day.

This is all off the top of my head and somewhat guessing. So dont hammer me if Im off to much on something please?

Damnit

I'm going to have to try and find the time to make a phantom grocery store trip. Is there any reason to think food in one area of the country will cost more/less than another?

Oh and I know fish is going to be about $75/month, so I may cut that back a touch maybe to 8oz/day which will put it at about $45/month . I've been buying that myself as of late

Haha, Americans complaining about food prices.

Milk, eggs, and pretty much all produce is usually half-the-cost in America as opposed to Canada; the agricultural industry is highly subsidized in America - much moreso than here - and as a result, it isn't that bad. Oddly enough pop is about 1/2 the price in America as well.

Try coming to Canada homie, at that point you'd die at the cost of that list. Luckily, I live about 15 minutes away from the border!

I'd agree with the $300+, I wish we could get those massive tubs of egg whites here in Canada instead of me buying like 30 500ml containers at a time.

Also have a look at professionalmuscle, i was reading on there today that Talapia is a no no, too high in omega 6's and too low in omega 3's.

really? care to share the link kind sir?

It's more expensive than 97/3 ground beef and if I can buy 10lbs at a time it cuts it even more so this may not be a bad thing.

found the old excell spread sheet for my monthly living cost and here the food stuff

Oatmeal-$6
Brown Rice-$6
Chicken- $23
Steak-$60
potatoes-$20
veggies-$15
TOTAL:$130

Steak and chicken was 15lbs and 15dozen eggs. I don't know the quantities on the others and milk was a whatever.

I know the cost of things have gone up. I think $300 would be my limit. I will only be making about $850/month
