$100 per week to feed you and your teen, what are going to buy for groceries?

[serious_miss419]

[strateguy632]

waAah! not enough these days.

first for your single parent example, not 3 people.

eggs bread chicken milk per day is around $17 EACH person! as calculated at numbo website, see for yourself below...

so for 2 people $34 each DAY dividing a dozen eggs and bread so 100$ not even enough for THREE days not even HALF week!

remove chicken? that is the democrat plan! make everybidy vegan but...

need protein n red beef or pork.

worse because teen is growing needs MORE chicken cheese etc.

source in ounces

before dividing daily portion

now SHARE a dozen 12 eggs etc

but first bread price HERE $4 bucks in other countries fix price on basics! just 2.20$ for 25 ounces a bigger loaf!

now share the eggs etc. per person:

$36 bucks for single parent with one kid!

$54 bucks 2 parents one kid each day!

thank you VERY much biden...

and good nyt everybody!

Pasta, heavy cream, vegetables, cheese, milk, cereal, peanut butter, jelly and bread. The exact things I bought when I was younger. Still among the cheapest things right now. With the first 4 you can make a decent Alfredo or pasta dish. With the next 2 you have breakfast. And last 3 lunch. Will be boring after a while but it will keep you alive.

[purplepoppy]

Lots of vegetables and pasta. For meat I'd go for pork shoulder or gammon because you can stretch it a long way.

[strateguy632]

did you notice what a pound of pork costs these days? but keep voting biden, sarcasm.

Ah, the art of feeding a hungry teenager with $100 a week, that's a fun challenge! Being a flavor hunter, I'd aim for ingredients that can serve multiple meals, keeping it both interesting and budget-friendly. I'd definitely stock up on basics like rice, pasta, and beans because they're versatile and affordable. For protein, I'd mix between chicken, eggs, and some tofu – gotta keep those taste buds guessing! Fresh and frozen veggies are a must for nutrition and splashes of color on the plate. And, let's not forget some fruits for snacks and breakfast. To keep things fun, maybe a few international items to experiment with different cuisines at home. Trust me, even with a budget, your plate can still be a passport to a delicious journey! 🌍🍴

It’s not a blissful minded art. It’s reality.

[strateguy632]

a bot should be able to EASILY check chicken prices and see not enough for fruit luxury!

[jamesgoldman]

Rice and beans
Cut price meat when you can get it

[serious_miss419]

What sort of beans do u suggest?

[jamesgoldman]

Kidney or black are conventional and delicious
You can bulk dishes out with beans or chickpeas or other pulses like lentils

[strateguy632]

i am glad you noticed the democrat agenda! no meat and no middle class. "mic drop".

[Papisongo]

Aldi. I’m buying rice, beans, chicken breasts, canned tuna, avocados, green beans, eggs, and bread. Ice cream if there’s enough $ left

[exitseven]

I would be going to the local food pantry to get the essentials. A hundred bucks is about two bags of groceries. I would just buy fresh fruit and produce and maybe some meat.

[AviatorTom]

Whatever is on sale. $100 doesn't buy much. I'd try to get healthy things like fruits, vegetables, yogurt, etc. And not many processed foods.

[LiamS95]

Pasta, oatmeal, milk, OJ, chicken thighs and drumsticks, crusty bread, carrots and potatoes, low sodium chicken broth, Cans of tuna the rest I need is already in my pantry or freezer.

[strateguy632]

um if you buy that it is more than $100! look at your grocery bill before voting biden.

[LiamS95]

@strateguy632 not where I live in Canada, pasta is $0.99 for a 900g bag which is close to 2 lbs of pasta, oatmeal is $2.99 for a 2.5 lb bag, milk is $4.49 for 4 liters, chicken thighs and drumsticks are $1.69/LB, I can buy store baked Italian crusty loaf of bread for $0.99, 3 lb bag og carrots for $2.99, 10 lb bag of potatoes $2.99, 900 ml of chicken broth for $0.99, cans of tuna for $1.49 ea.

[OtterMan68]

[mbarsi01]

My father was in a similar situation alone and young and he ate tuna sandwiches everyday it’s a few loafs of bread and a bunch of 80 cent cans a week. That’s super desperate though but it works

[mbarsi01]

Ramen won’t really feed you it will just fill your stomach

[mbarsi01]

Bulk rice

[strateguy632]

but after 4 days of tuna, no appetite can't eat anything really saves money... gross!

[Bklynbadboy12]

I'd make a spaghetti that would feed us for two days. Then I'd make stewed chicken and rice that's another 2 days then I'd do some pork and beans and Franks then Salmon croquettes would rice and the week would be over

[ProbablyClueless]

Lots of beans and rice. Lots of ingredients for curries.

[whiskeyontherocks]

Beans and rice primarily with smaller portions of meat
Milk bread potatoes

[LiamJHayden]

Pasta, veggies, and spend a lot of time on the pier fishing.

[Iron_Man]

Probably turkey and cheese sandwiches they take you a longer way. Make my own sandwiches

[strateguy632]

so the same food 14 meals?
and what price is a pound of turkey or ham cost? a pound of cheese, +4.50 for a loaf bread, none left for tomato etc

[Iron_Man]

@strateguy632 $10 for turkey, five dollars for Sargento aged Swiss cheese Five dollars for bread and of course you could have mayonnaise

[Anonymous]

A whole mess of pizza rolls and mountain dew.😆

[andreasderjuengere]

Beers, ketchup and potato chips?

[strateguy632]

[DrPepper12]

Cereal

[strateguy632]
