Paying for food by weight
    #19319754 - 12/24/13 05:31 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Buying food by weight is a whole new world of money saving I just started this week. Today I bought 5lb bag of oranges for 1.95 and a yam for .43 per lb. I spent 2.50 and left he store carrying a heavy bag :smile: I also recently bought brown rice for .90 per lb. it's life changing. Not to be racist but I realized that this is probably how Spanish moms feed the family.
Here are some of my estimates
A pound burger king= $10
A pound of  restaurant food= $15+
A pound of average non-weight labeled food= $7
A pound of my oranges= $0.40
A pound of rice/beans/grain from the unsightly open plastic container with a scooper that you never considered getting: $1.00

Better deals at farmer market I bet, can't wait to find them where i live


I hope reading this changes all ur lives :laugh:

It's definitely great savings by buying and making your own food. I figure I spend close to $10/day when I could be spending $3/day by making my own food. That's a savings of $2.5k/yr.

Yeah that's a good idea... great way to eat on the cheap. You'll also learn to cook, and that food is generally healthier, too!

My friends and I also applied this idea to alcohol. The cheapest and best way to get drunk is to buy super-cheap 1.5 liter bottles of vodka. It has little flavor anyway, and so when mixed you can't really taste it.

Here's the math:

- a 1.5 liter bottle of vodka has about 30 shots.
- a cheap 1.5 liter bottle can be bought for about USD$12
- That's about USD 0.40 (forty cents) per shot.
- Say it takes you 6 shots to get a decent buzz
- That's USD$2.40 to get decently drunk

~ If you're out during happy hour, and shots of well vodka are on special for USD $1 a shot--which is incredibly cheap--you're still sitting at 40% of the cost.
~ If you're out at a nice bar or club, shots can go for $5 and up. You can easily spend $30 or more to get the same buzz. That's about 1300% of the cost--for the same buzz.

Another good option is boxed wine. That's also pretty cheap, but I find myself getting a nasty hangover from cheap boxed wine. Not sure why :shrug:

:heart: :chicken:

So, if I wanted to buy a some flour, I could push down at a weight or something?

And thus begins the  reverse-fusing of our one-dimentional understanding, and adds ever-expanding perspectives, in depth and number; splitting our perception, and in so doing, seemingly irrationally, creates yet more one-ness, with all that ever was, is and will ever be, streching across the infinite, inunderstood concept of everything, percievable and not.

I thought this was going to be about the cost of food changing depending on the buyer's weight - meaning that fat people pay more. That would be an interesting concept.

I'd be more worried about the cost of healthcare vs. The cost of food if I were obese.
