Agreed. $75 for food a week is easy. I do $20-30

The trick is eating a balanced meal where you prepare the ingredients yourself. You do not have to buy bulk but you should buy your staples at the larger discount super markets to save money, such as every variety of beans and rice on the planet. You do not have to go to your trendy boutique corner grocery market that is hipsterville and trashy busy on the weekend. You can even afford to eat meat a couple of times a week. Just look for what is on sale. Finally, if you cut out that vegan yuppie gluten free diet fad stuff and eat a regular diet, it is very affordable. I once saw a yuppie lady buy gallon containers of yoghurt and organic berries with her yuppie food. I thought that was kind of obsessive compulsive. Just stay away from fast food shit food. It's gotten expensive too, somehow. What a lame economy and government we have.

Gallon containers of yogurt and some berries is obsessive compulsive? You don’t know what obsessive compulsive means. Seems like she was doing some grocery shopping for her family. Also, yuppie? Is this 1987 again? Who calls people yuppies anymore, and how is being a young urban professional a bad thing?

Nope

Vegan is the cheapest way to eat as long as you make your food at home. It’s not a “fad” diet. It is a lifestyle choice. I agree with some of your points but you sound like a negative, creepy, asshole.

20-30$ for food a week is easy. I do free! I simply collect old oil behind restaurants and deep fry squirrels in Stanley Park. Do all the labor on Sunday and you have fried squirrels for the whole week! Wow!

Can you please please please give a realistic weekly breakdown of what you’ve bought, and from where? Cause I try so hard to cut my food budget and still can’t figure it out. I’d honestly love to see what others buy and in what amounts, and what they’re able to make for meals with that amount of food!
