This is a somewhat weird question. I posted in the general forum about how I am about to move out on my own at 18 years old. For awhile now I have been buying alot of my own food but not all of it. I am in the middle of bulking and trying to eat about 4000 calories. Does anyone have any rough estimate of what this would cost a month?

I don't mind eatting bland food and cooking. I can get anything from the meat department for a VERY VERY reduced price (chicken, grounde beef, tenderloin, anything) of 99 cents a pound.

I've never bought all my meals myself and I'm not sure what I'll be paying a month. I figured about $400 a month but that may be way high, I'd rather figure it too high than too low and have less money than I budgeted.

Before I start analyzing my grocery bills you owe it to us to tell us how you're getting 99 cents per pound on all of your beef and chicken and turkey!!!

:D

I spend over $400 per month, including all of the other things like deodorant, razors, dog food (which is just chicken and turkey anyway), etc., and including vitamins, protein, dextrose...

If you're getting all of your beef, chicken, and turkey (and fish?) for that cheap, then you won't spend over $400/month I don't think. That is where most of my money is spent.

He works in the meat department i believe he said earlier

I spend about 60 to 70 a week on food for my and my g/f.

A pound of chicken breast costs $2.50 here. I spend around $150 a week on food and $150 on supplements every 2-3 months.

I did work in the meat dept and my friend still works there. He sells me whatever I want for 99 cents.

I'll take 10 pounds of Flank, 10 pounds of fillet, 20 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast, 20 pounds of fish (vary the kinds, preferably mostly white fish, you decide though), and 20 pounds of turkey breast.

:D

Wow. That's a great discount. I usually stock up when the price is $1.99. If I was able to get meats at $0.99/lb I'd probably have to buy a seperate freezer just to fit it all. ;]
