Bulkin On a Budget

**Succio** · 10-29-2006, 02:55 AM

well ive been seeing alot of kids who are in college or people who just dont have the money to buy what they need, so this is dedicated to the hardworking sons of bitches who are on a budget

Natural Peanut butter/Almond butter
should run you about 3-4 bucks and last u well over a week

Nuts/Almonds
Buy them in bulk, should cost u around 5 bucks for a weeks worth

Wheat bread
a loaf should last u about a week about 3-4 bucks

Milk
Cant keep this outta your diet, should run you about 3.50 a gallon

Macaroni
Here ya go pencilnecks, this will pack on some mass, should run about 2-3 bux

Tuna
a great lean protein source and you cant really complain, less than a dollar for a can

Bag O potatoes
This should be a Staple carb food in your diet, should run you about 4 bucks a bag

Eggs
eggs eggs they make you fart, thats because it has PROTEIN. you could buy them in dozens and get em under 10 bux

Apples
pound of apples for about a few bucks, 2 pounds should get you through the week

Bananas
Who doesnt like Bananas? 3-4 bucks worht for a bout a week

Chicken breasts
The most popular protein of all, Chicken. 1 7-9 dollar should get you through the week.

Yogurt
i like to throw blueberrys in my yogurt, im not talking about the little yoplait cups with HFCS and a ton of sweetners in it, im talkin about REAL yogurt (plain) a tub should run about 3 bux

Oats
again, should be a staple in your diet, cant beat the price, roughly 3 bux for a tub that will last you quite a while

90 or ^ % lean beef
another good protein source that is probably in everyones diet, i buy 4 - 1 pound rolls at costco for about 10 bux.

Beans
Make sure you buy them in bulk, should be pretty cheap

that about sums it up for now, feel free to pin it or add to it

I wish Almond Butter costs the same as PB, but it costs 1.5x more at least!

I would add in rice and other grains.

**romanaz** · 10-30-2006, 02:53 AM

rice def needs to be on there

I wish that belonged. As far as i am concerned, veggies are the most expensive food. I limit my veggie intake because of their price. Hence: Multi

**bigDman** · 10-31-2006, 05:02 PM

veggies are really expensive and take up to much room you could better use on more calorie dense food :-P

your pretty hardcore on the multi.. I dont disagree. But i still think, even while bulking, that veggies could def be a huge benefit. There usally is always some onsale, so eat the cheap ones.
