I think mines around £50.Thats shared with the missus and I eat a bit more than her. SO i reckon my share is about £30.

**hackskii** · 26-06-2005, 08:23 PM

$150.00 a week.
I have been known to spend much more on supps tho.

**robdog** · 26-06-2005, 08:27 PM

Easily 100 notes a week on myself i rekon with all the steak im caining.

You can do it for alot less though buddy as things like Tuna, Eggs, Oats etc etc are cheap as chips.

samurai69 · 26-06-2005, 09:26 PM

If I dont eat out I reckon on about 80 eoros for the 2 of us so about 50 on me is about 35 pounds, (but i live in a 3rd world country according to DB)

....you'd have to ask my mother! ;)

But I can tell you that I'm guaranteed to spend over a ton each time I go to the supps shop.

I usually spend around £80 a week for me and my other half.

It also depends where you shop also, I shop at Tesco purely because its on my door step, but Im sure Asda etc is cheaper.

#22 · 13-07-2005, 07:55 PM

Mines pretty damn cheap actually, £20-£25 (depending on the meats i buy). However supps cost me around £85 a month.
