    Default Where Do You Shop??
    wanted to know where other iron heads buy the mass quantities of chicken, beef, yams, eggs etc. etc. and still have money for rent. Of course i'd assume Costco/sam's club, but where else is worth spending what money i have to spare?

    thanks again for the help bros!

    Wish I could get a card for macro, costco or anything else that would make my shopping cheaper. Im still shopping at local stores for the ''cheaper'' priceed stuff but the cost of living seems to continue to go up but my wage hasn't.

    ****ing Goverment.

    I go to my Butchers for the meat and stock up. £25 gets me 5kg of fresh chicken breast, cheaper and better than the supermarkets, Makro isn't always that cheap

    for: 11.02311310925
    so thats about $4.46 a pound. so about double what i pay. i wonder what the average income is over there since everything seems to be more expensive.

    Ditto the grocery store...
    If you shop at the proper times and look for sale items and are willing to switch brands on certain things from time to time, it works fine. I average paying about $2.20 lb for chicken breasts. Sometimes it's much lower during a sale and then you need to buy a whole lot and freeze it until the next sale

    Costco and Macro for chicken and lucosade sports...you can pay upto $3 in a street shop for lucosade sport but in costco it's around $1.20 so well worth stocking up!

    Chicken is also way cheaper from Cosco and Macro...not sure of cost for 100g but I get around 30 breasts for $30

    I don't buy much else in bulk as it won't store very well..such as minced beef is two large and hard to defrost plus the quality ( more fat ) really drops compared to high street shops.

    I work and shop at Costco. If your on a budget like me..consider some of these:

    Grains - Oatmeal (Flavored Quaker Oats) $12 Lasts me like 2 to 3 weeks.
    Veggies - Broccoli, String Beans, mixed vegs. (Like $5 for a big bag) Mashed potatoes ($6)
    Fluids - Water, Gatorade, Ensure Plus (350 cal) ($5, $13, $35)
    Dairy - eggs (36 eggs for like $7) , milk gal. ($2)
    Meat - I can't fcuk with the chicken at Costco..it never looks fresh and the red meat is always fatty...And the sirloin is overpriced.

    As far as mass quantities...really nowhere besides these guys.
