Canned stuff is often also an excellent option

If you don't want to go dutch erm cheap that's ok, but yeah. It can be done and you don't have to go out of your way for it. Unless your way goes around any proper supermarket

 

For myself maybe, but if I had a family of 5 and could feed us all for less than 15€ at KFC a day then that would be cheaper than even trying to balance 4€ per person which would equate to 20€ a day on that one meal.

It would cost me roughly 15€ a week to make myself the chicken salad wraps I make for lunch. It would cost me 7€ to buy a chicken cheeseburger daily for a week.

If you can feed yourself two cheeseburgers a day at 2€ then thats only 14€ a week. I can spend that much on fresh produce alone, and in fact, I would come close to doubling that per week to feed two people.

We could by far, easily go to McDonald's every day and eat and if we pick the right food there, I would reduce our grocery bill by 75% if not more. Those 2 cheeseburgers if I had one for breakfast and one for lunch, could theoretically feed me for the day. I might have to get a quarter pounder every few days though, and maybe a meal every now and again and if that week averages averages 4€ a day to feed myself for the whole week.... 28€ then that's cheaper than eating the healthy food that I do buy to feed myself for the entire week from a market.

Start scanning your grocery bills for the next fortnight and we'll talk about it then. I bet they're more than 14€ a week.

 

Why keep it theoretically only? Try it for a few months please and we will see what's 'the better option' in the long run

 

A few months? Easy done. 112€

Some folks would go through that in 10 days or one grocery shop to feed them a week. Breakfast lunch and dinner.

I'm sorry but you can't beat 1€ cheeseburgers lol.

You cannot buy all the ingredients to make one yourself for 1€ even if you bought bulk for a month worth of cheeseburgers. The chicken alone wouldn't even cover the cost.

You would spend close to €4.5 euros on the meat alone, 4€ for the correct cheeseburger buns. You could buy bulk cheese slices but you'd still spend €2.65 on a iceberg lettuce and possibly 2 onions for €3 and then sauce. Adding up to over €13 to make the same thing.

 

At what?

 

this'll go over well.

Also, your inability to relate to men doesn't make them inferior. Just means you have a preference.

 

Breastfeeding babies

 

Uhm i didn't mean make your own cheeseburgers vs. buying fastfood cheeseburgers for 3 months

I mean buy and consume fastfood for 3 months (or longer. My point is about what's more cost efficient on the long run) and buy and consume healthy food for the same period of time and see what's better in the long run. Spoiler alert: its not an opinion

 

The main reason to buy organic produce is because its healthier for the environment.

 

We need beeeeeeeeeeeeez

 

I just need Bumblebee

 

Menstruating

 

Both good answers. See, LA, you need a point of reference for anything to be superior or inferior.

 

Maybe it's a regional thing, but here in the US--if memory serves, you're in the UK, right?--organic produce is pretty much the same price as the regular stuff. Grass-fed organic meats can be expensive--eggs too--but the produce is about the same, if not the same, price.

I buy organic produce for the hell of it. My unpopular opinion is that the healthier and better tasting claims are a kind of placebo effect. But, i figure, what the hell, I could be wrong. No reason not to buy it if it's the same price

 

I do not think eating fast food is cheaper than eating healthy
You can cook a week's worth of beans and rice for a few dollars and it doesnt cost much more to add some fresh veggies to it
If you eat meat with every meal it can get expensive but cutting back on meat consumption definitely helps the grocery budget

 

At least one animal has to die every day in order for me to live.

 

Well, some say fish isn't meat

 

If a can of beans costs more than 1€ then it's more expensive than a 1€ cheeseburger. A bag of rice alone goes for half of what it costs to buy those cheeseburgers. Adding veges to the mix increases the cost tenfold. End of the day, you're paying more than 1€ for that meal.

Lol. Why can't you people just math and stop being so proud of your diets? It's cheaper to eat cheeseburgers, plain and simple.

Start scanning your grocery bills people, like I said, I wanna see a week's worth of groceries for under €14. It ain't gonna happen. The odds have blown out 10,000/1 not even the bookies want a piece of it.

"The USDA uses national food intake data and grocery price information to calculate different costs for a healthy diet at home. The latest numbers for a four-member family: a thrifty food plan, $146"

$146 a week? $56 on cheeseburgers is sounding better and better. Even in American terms, and your stuff is a lot more cheaper in America than it is on Euro shelves too.

 

I don't think you need to cut out meat necessarily. I can get a dozen chicken drumsticks for less than $5. That's the base for three meals right there. But then again, chicken is kind of known for being cheap AF
