Via Garibaldi 8 Posted January 31, 2013 Share #51 Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah, when I lived in the city I still got SOME stuff at Whole Foods. Three people.... $4,000.00 a month for three people!???!? That must be a gross exaggeration to put it lightly. I guess. There is one on 72th street and another in Downtown Brooklyn. Yeah that's Dallas BBQ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted January 31, 2013 Share #52 Posted January 31, 2013 When I go to Subways, I would usually buy the Meatball sub. IMO, that's the best one! I would order it with swiss chesse, ranch dressing, and onions on a garlic bun. And no, I've never been to Sakura. How about DBQ? What do you guys think of DBQ? Dallas BBQ is the bomb! Really good food but it's something I can only eat once in a while. If I go like every day I will definitely be obese in no time flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go like every day I will definitely be obese in no time flat. I've only been once or twice and both times I got a spinach salad. I wasn't familiar with anything else and it all looked fattening anyway so I didn't bother. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted January 31, 2013 Share #55 Posted January 31, 2013 How about Juniors in Brooklyn? Anybody been there? GROSS from what I hear esp. the cheesecakes.... There are a few in the city I believe. There's one in Grand Central too but I wouldn't even dare eat there.... Midtown is known for having lots of highly overpriced places that aren't good unfortunately. A shame too because there are really good restaurants in the area.

realizm Posted January 31, 2013 Share #56 Posted January 31, 2013 There's alot of good local restaurants along Court Street I know of that is really good, (by the belly dancing school and past Brooklyn Civil Court), also Bergen Street. There's a place I went to that serves some really good Key Lime pie! Dang what was the name of it? It's REALLY hard to find Key Lime in NYC.

realizm Posted January 31, 2013 Share #58 Posted January 31, 2013 Along the B65 if Bergen Street. No buses on Court going west past the major hub @ Cadmen Plaza but for those restaurants on Court just take the to Court Street or the IRT to Borough Hall. The business district is only a block away.

We spent $963 on food, and it was gone by the end of the week. It's not. We spent $963 on food, and it was gone by the end of the week. Remember, i'm still talking about Whole Foods here.

I just find that hard to believe for 3 people... So you're including things besides food then?? If that's the case you guys were crazy to do all of your shopping at Whole Foods. That's a specialty store so certainly you guys got ripped off with some items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted January 31, 2013 Share #63 Posted January 31, 2013 No, just food. I could only imagine what your kitchen pantry looks like...... Stocked up with canned food like a fallout shelter or something. You really are not anticipating a nuclear holocaust taking place anytime soon, are you?

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted January 31, 2013 Share #64 Posted January 31, 2013 No, just food. That's insane... You realize that's $1,000 a week on food for 3 people... Hell even when I do my $100.00 lunches I still don't spend any more than $600.00 - 800.00 a month in food. I'm curious as to what type of things you guys bought??? Do you (the three of you) eat breakfast lunch and dinner? I usually skip breakfast and just have lunch and maybe something light for dinner or I'll have breakfast for dinner, so maybe that's the problem.

realizm Posted January 31, 2013 Share #65 Posted January 31, 2013 Midnight snacks can add up too you know. That's an additional 50 dollars a week. Do the math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was supposed to go out for my espresso snack but I didn't have time to... Just a double shot espresso is about $3.00 and then the snack itself can run another $3.00 - 6.00 so roughly $6.00 - 9.00 for something I finish in about 10 minutes. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted January 31, 2013 Share #67 Posted January 31, 2013 My girl is threatening to a padlock amd chain on the fridge after 10 PM so I can't attack the pastries in the fridge in the middle of the night.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted January 31, 2013 Share #68 Posted January 31, 2013 LOL... Yeah she should do that... I'm guilty of getting snacks for the hockey games and having late night snack attacks... Like I'll go to Whole Foods and get veggie chips or these chips with flax seeds in them that are like a mix between a potato chip and a cracker, but they're insanely good and certainly much better health wise than the regular fried chips, but it's still a late night snack. I just try not to go crazy because in the morning you wake up and you feel insanely bloated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted January 31, 2013 Share #75 Posted January 31, 2013 You know I used to buy restaurant food all the time when I was single. Now the money used to add up ridiculous. I think I was spending like 150 dollars a week which was just absurb. But things changed. Now I cook almost every day. Usually breakfast though since I have to wake up earlier then her and she gets home from work usually earlier then I do. Usually got the laptop on the kitchen tab;e cooking and slamming out the online courses through my school at the same time. It's good to multitask, get more things done. She usually makes up for my hard work by doing laundry etc. It's like marriage, it's all about cooperation. OK now I'm going off topic, but yeah, now I cook instead of ordering food every day. I even pack my own lunch, unless she does it for me. LOL... So how does that equal $4,000 for the month???? My bad. $15. Remember this is with WHOLE FOODS. Man Western Beef, Hong Kong Supermarket (growing supermerket chain in 3 boroughs), or Key Food does it for me. Whole Foods is way too expensive.
