POLL- How much do you spend a week on groceries/toiletries?🌮💰🛒?

[Anonymous]

I’m trying to spend only $50 a week on food but then I have to pay for toiletries so that’s about $100 a week. I live alone so toilet paper runs out , shampoo, need a vaccum, paper plates, cleaning spray runs out, trash bags, food n more food …. 🙂🙃🙃🙃 hair dye, conditioner, new towel, snacks, hair spray , laundry…

$100 a week or less

More than $100 a week

Saving money is about buying by Weight not by number or in a bulk quantity. There is a "Gross" misunderstanding as everyone talks about buying bulk is the way to go. This is not correct, however, sometimes it all can come together well. I have found a standardized solution for myself.

If possible the best thing to do is get a COSTCO membership. I have one since i was 17. I have saved all kinds of money, both in Weight and Quantity as compared to shopping in the regular grocery store. From electronics, car oil, gas, clothes, allergies, foods etc. I save in both time and bulk purchases going to one place at one time. And the membership itself is usually covered by Costco given you use the card regularly and purchase there.

The secret is to buy in bulk. You save so much money by buying in bulks. I buy toilet paper online and hair shampoo and conditioner online. Same as Walmart but cheaper. I use napkins as plates and use dishes.
I also use the bathroom at work to save my resources as much as possible.

I don’t have a Costco card yet lol I live alone so don’t buy in bulk also have no storage closet to buy bulk 10 pack of toilet paper. Have no storage to put all that. I just buy $1 pack of toilet paper n paper plates etc…. I don’t buy eggs in bulk just regular 12 pack or $1.25 6 pack off eggs at dollar store instead of buying 12 pack of eggs $10 at the store….

[Asker]

I have this buy this week, cleaning spray, paper plates, napkins, toilet paper, rags, mouthwash, detangle hair spray, water pack, shampoo, conditioner, donuts , drinks, hasbrowns, eggs, bagels, cream cheese, snacks, yogurt, shakes, new towel….

[Asker]

[Asker]

Above is about $70, plus a vaccum will be $100

[Asker]

[Asker]

Plus gas $200

[Asker]

$200 I’ll spend next wk for me one person only

[Opinion Owner]

$200 on gas? What kind of car do you have? There’s a few things you can save on like water for instance. You can buy a metal water bottle then buy a filter at Walmart for under $50. You never have to buy water packs again

[Asker]

No I said total $200 for everything i mentioned

[Asker]

I buy $1 water pack per week.

[Opinion Owner]

Do you think having a boyfriend would make things easier

[Asker]

I have a boyfriend but I live alone but we live nearby

[Opinion Owner]

Why doesn’t he move in

[Asker]

He has his own living room
