Probably about 400 a month. The convenience store by my house pretty much only has frozen foods and boxes of Kraft Dinner for two dollars. A tiny box of frozen chicken nuggets are five bucks.

At Safeway I normally spend about 30 a week on food. But I also have a pretty solid stockpile of emergency rations that I have been try to go through since I am moving in two months and I might as well eat the 20 pounds of pasta and sauce I have tucked away so I don’t have to move it.

$750 US. And I would weigh twenty pounds more.

@zenvelo :: When I was living in my mom’s backyard there was a 7/11 across the street. I used to go in every day for beer around 2am (they stop selling at 2:30) and there was always this one lady working.

I am a slender man. 6’ and 135 pounds. After about a month she asked if I like pizza. Of course I do!! So it was late and they had to toss the stuff that had been in the heating rack thing at 2am.

This is the beginning of the end of my svelte figure. Pizza turned into chicken strips and mojo potatoes and ranch packets. She was a little lady from India and would joke about needing to fatten me up.

I didn’t buy food for three months. I lived on shit 7/11 couldn’t legally sell.

I put on some weight.

It would cost more then what I pay now at a grocery storen but I wouldn’t necessarily gain weight. They sell fresh fruit, greek yogurt and other items that aren’t very different from what I buy now.

More money than I even have to spend for each month’s total expenses.
I never buy any food from convenience stores. I view it as my punishment for poor planning.

I would say it would be between 30 – 40% higher than using a grocery store.

It wouldn’t matter because if you only ate stuff from a convenience store, you’d be dead soon.

I can’t even imagine. I know it would be a lot higher than it would than if I only bought food from the grocery store, and/or restaurants (I don’t go to expensive restaurants) nor would it be very healthy. Our convenience stores, such as 7–11 usually have apples and bananas at the register, but that is a very limited diet, if one was trying to eat healthy. They also sell milk, but it’s much more expensive there, than at the grocery store.
