How much a week do you spend on food?

I typically BBQ a large family pack of chicken breasts, I take fajitas, lettuce, tomato, apples and pears. Couple of frozen dinners (for a change) and yogurt and granola. Typically less than $50 a week.

 

Too much lol. I work my tail off and at the end of the day, I'm gonna have me a nice, big ol dinner if I so choose...

 

You will be eating from the truck stop more then you think. There will be times when you wont have time to get to WM to stock up and there will also be times when you will have to eat on the fly to make that delivery appointment.

 

same old same old day in day out ? variety is the spice of life, but.. try and create it on a budget. what can you spend ? 50 a week doesn't work for me

 

Peanut butter and bread and crackers.
Inverter + kettle to boil water for oat meal or instant soup.
Disposable bowls and spoons for cereal in the morning (buy the milk daily)
Cases of pop or water.

Saves a lot. Even with all this I still eat in the truck stop too often. I still enjoy a hot meal at the counter of knowledge. Or subway. Or good fried chicken. I am not a peasant. I spend probably $120 a week while I am on the road by a combination of the above meals and the restaurant meals.

 

I'd say $140.00 minimum though I suppose it. could be done for less depending on one's self displine and budget. only you know how much you can spend.

 

per diem rates are easy to achieve.

$60.00 a day

Bag salads on sale 2 for $3.99.
Barilla 60 second microwave Italian entrées $2.50...guess
