Yes. Pic related is the rough scaffold of my monthly food budget when im bulking on 3000 calories a day. This is Australian dollars as well, our supermarket prices are fucked.

You can definitely do something like my pic related, add a few dollars a week for things that this is missing like spices, fresh fruit veg etc and you will be well under $250 a week.

$250 a week is quite a lot. Are you eating out a lot? So as long as you are saving at least 20% of your take home pay and don't mind spoiling yourself it's fine though.

Coarse bulgur rice, high in fiber so it's easy to shit out, about twice as expensive as bulk jasmin rice, but it tastes delicious on its own. It can also be eaten raw.
It's one of the best varieties of rice available.
Costs 1.6usd for 250g of bulgur rice but it can be gotten cheaper if I travel farther to buy it.

When I'm not eating bulgur rice I switch to something called "liver patty" (leverpostej) with white bread. This costs about 2.4usd and is delicious and nutritious.

And then occasionally I do fasting (not part of the budget) if I feel like it which extends my life and also saves me money...

does no one fucking workout and look at their macros on these food budget threads? fuck.

6'2" and 210lbs. i try to keep 2500-2700 calories per day for working out and increase mass. My cost of good food with good macros, with watching my sodium levels (which means no box or frozen shit foods), i come close to $200/week. If i reduce my calories to 2000 for maintenance, its about $125-$150/week.

OP this is the most legit response youre gonna get if youre watching your health. @$50/week im sure these idiots are eating 5000mg of salt per day while working themselves to a heart attack by 35. they may be young, but that shit catches up to you... especially when youre stressed out.

Our household (2 adults, 1 child) we spend about $100 MapleSyrup tokens a week on groceries. We could probably trim it a little -- but we eat well.
