I really would like to hear how much people spend that don't eat at truck stops but supply their own food from Walmart or other grocery stores. I plan on avoiding truck stop purchases at all costs. Maybe once a week i will treat myself to a pizza but everything else i will buy from the grocery store.
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.

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.
