Lazy meat costs money. A brisket shouldn’t cost you that much.

I can easily afford things, but I'm having fun budgeting.

I'm spending about $70/week in groceries (solo)

Prime brisket is about $5.99 a lb here in AL.

I detest the term “making groceries”. Down vote away.

Upvote!

It might be cute in an ESL sort of way, but at some point you have to understand that it doesn't make any damned sense.

Sure it is. With the exception of one monthly Sam's trip, we probably spend an average of $60-70/trip for a family of 3.

Now, I also hunt, fish, and garden, so we get a good bit of our food from those sources.

We probably spend $700-900 per month with two adults and a teenager. Granted we eat a lot of tuna, salmon, steaks etc. We could do it cheaper if we had to.

We workout and eat healthy. Family of 5 is about $1500 for food and toiletries a month with extremely limited eating out.
