I've a friend who's quite stingy on buying those foods that she like because it's kinda expensive, but when it comes to gadgets and clothes she can buy the latest and expensive things. How about you?

I like spending money on things that I like, if I want good food but it costs a little more than normal food I do not mind paying extra for the quality.

Yeah, me either, I don't mind buying and eating food that has an extra prize than usual as long as it taste good and I'm satisfied. One of my friend often told me that we should not give limit when it comes to eating the foods we love, since in heaven there's no food. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I eat a lot, therefore, I consume a lot of food, so I have to spend a great deal of money on food. It cost more to fill my stomach than a tank of gas. Because I have a football player figure, I go through more food than an entire family (not a large family). I grocery shop every two weeks and used to spend $200 on avg for myself. The last time, I spent 350 and it might not make it two weeks. Considering that in a two week period, I spend $70 on gas, my stomach is a vicious expense. I have been trying to figure out how to get a second fridge in my apartment. You know you have a big appetite when you grocery shop with two carts at multiple stores, and have enough groceries to weigh down the back of a car. I buy quite a few things from Costco, and no one say anything anymore about me drinking a gallon of milk while standing in line, except how their family takes a week to drink it. Because I am so big, and I could probably eat a horse, the two cart grocery shopping draws a lot of questions, especially since I live by myself. I love my stomach despite days I consider eating like a horse a slow day, especially when bulking up.

I'm not that picky about the food I eat. I'll even go far away just so I can save some money on food that I eat. I don't care what it is, as long as I have enough of it. George on the other hand is picky about cirten brands of foods and will only buy some foods at certain stores. For example, hamburger from publix. However, he's eased up quite a bit. We do most of our food shoping at Aldy.

Oh, well that's good for you. It's nice that you really know how to budget your money and spend wisely, not everyone has that wisdom. Me, when it comes to clothes, like you, I'm not into signature, what matter is I like it and it looks good on me. But when it comes to food, I don't care if it's kinda expensive or not, I eat whatever I like. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your weekends!

Rule of thumb food is required to live. I but my money on food, shelter and cloths. I don't buy expensive things. I don't purchase things that are not on the priority list. Food, Shelter, clothing.

Interesting! I won't be mean when it comes to eating. There should be nothing more important than food in my opinion.

Well that's good for you, me either when it comes to foods, I won't give myself a limit, since all things will be gone and I deserve to give myself with whatever foods that I love. Since this is one of the main reason why I work hard. Well this just my simple thoughts and it surely differ from others. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I guess food is about the only thing i really splurge on. I like to cook & et, lol. If i see something i want at the store unless it's just priced out of sight i get it. I very seldom eat out so i enjoy a few tasty things at home.
