Cheap things you do vol. every dollar counts

[Bruce Banner]

What do you usually buy as far as groceries or cheap meals? I'm refraining from buying ramen, but kind of want to mix it up from the same 3-4 meals I cook.

I'm on my meal prep tip , the basics , ground turkey (3.29) shrimp , veggies (89c a bag ) , salmon (5.79) a bag , chicken breast (1.89 lb ) . Sweet potatoes (2.99) for a bag . They have a ton of affordable stuff man . And the eggs are usually 69 cents on certain days (randomly priced them down or up ) .

Almond milk is also (1.99 ).


Other day I walked out with a total of 36$ for groceries that's gonna last me a week & a half .

Compared to walmart & publix that's at least $70, to
$80!

Store brand pasta and sauce is cheap. At the end of the week, the Italian bread is on sale. Rice, beans are cheap. When breakfast sausage is on sale, I stock up.

That's what I usually purchase. It's either Spaghetti, Chicken Alfredo, tacos/tostadas, with the occasional frozen pizza or grilled chicken with those Rice Sides sold for like a $1.50 each.

I do eat a lot(sometimes out of pure boredom), but mainly me venturing out of my cooking would be going out to eat, which I want to save some more money from.

Lol bra I eat 5-6 times a day on a regular . I've cut that down to maybe 3-4 cause I drink a gallon of water a day . But I'm trying to switch my diet up a bit , getting kind of bored of some of these meals

A small salad at my job cost 3.91. If I add avocado, it's an extra dollar. I usually add the avocado and the guy writes on top of the salad in a sharpie +avocado. I walk over to the register, put my wallet over the writing and never get charged.

So is stealing being cheap?

the staples..bread/milk/water/meat/veggies/fruit

no junk food ..juice instead of soda

If u go there with a set list u will not spend
frivolously

but if u stick to the essentials u should be good

One thing that always gets me at the grocery store is if Snapple 12-pack is on sale for $6..I get a little carried away

Google 'mealprepsunday'

Sometimes the big container of snapple is on sale. Takes me a lot of willpower to not get a bunch of the fruit punch and orangeade. I buy the gallon of arizona tea instead which is cheaper.

My last few days at my college apartment I used old wife beaters and socks because the campus started locking their toilet paper rolls so my roommates and I couldn't steal it.

Depending on what's stored in it, I've done this. Freezer bags, not sandwich bags.

One time when I was at the Spearmint Rhino (LV) I was sitting where the main stage was and taking dollars off of it when strippers weren't looking, and then threw them back when they came around so they'd show some love.

I do this at home all the time, especially if my dumps are super messy and splash on my butt.

Definitely done this hahaha, usually on hole in the wall joints tho. Tried this in Miami and they shut me down quick.

Love the Spearmint Rhino. I remember I ran out of money but the stripper was still massaging my meat while we talked for an hour about random stuff.
