Could you spend $240/day on groceries for 3 months

They're up 60% the last 6 months. That's pretty good. Of course they had dropped from some big numbers prior.

 

Dude, you're comparing $700 a month to $240/day which is $7200 a month.

 

I would just buy a crapload of canned, boxed goods, gum, etc.

I wouldnt want to freeze stuff. Even frozen stuff doesnt last forever.

 

Oh, I got a good one. I'd buy a TON of BEEF JERKY. I love that stuff and it does last forever.

 

I know. I'm saying that I could definitely do this and probably not use up the whole per diem. I wonder if he only uses 200 a day, does he get to pocket the 40 dollars he didn't use?

 

to answer the original question....I could not. No way for 90 days. Especially with a 4yo and a 10 yo.

 

I would stand by the register and ask people if they woukd like to save 20$ on their total purchase. I woukd buy them the food and have them give me the cash. Easy money!!

 

The real kind right?
Not that mechanically seperated chicken pink goo Slim Jim and Jack Links stuff ?

Beef Jerky is delicious.

I'd load up on BACON!

 

Yeah...totally first world problems.

 

Damn, and I thought my relo package was good. Would be a nice problem to have, that's for sure.

 

I think its for food, which means eating out also. $240 isn't as much in those terms. A lot of these that relo don't cook.

 

I think $240 per day would go really quick at Whole Foods. A wheel of parmigiano reggiano sounds divine. Those things average like $20 per pound.

 

must spread rep around.


I could do it, but i would also have such a large inventory of crap that it would be unbearable.

But like other's have mentioned, you don't have to do it everyday.

I would, however, stock up on food items that keep a long time as well as household supplies.

 

Multiple Deepfreezers and Klump family type dinners ........ Hell yeah, I could do that

 

Of course the real thing. Go to Buc ee's and get 10 of everything.

 

I'd use it at Sam's Club or Costco. Hope he has an extra bedroom for storage though.

if they spend this money making some better routers..

 

I could not and am smart enough to not even try

I could spend $240 a week and eat very well. Also, I would not want to store $17,000 food in pantries/freezers for later consumption. I bet quit of a bit that food would go bad before I got to it.

 

on my initial reading, i missed the "/day". so i thought, yea i could only spend $80 on groceries. then i realized it was $60/day. what a waste.
