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

wow thats awesome

wish ihad 60$ a day on groceries, i'd be content with life

 

After a few days it would feel like this...only the greatest game show EVAR!

 

With a 6 year old and a 4 year old, there's plenty of things you could spend it on. Especially at Whole Foods, which isn't just about foods.

 

I don't see myself cooking food 90 days in a row

 

Where are they relocated to? Maybe food price and cost of living is more compared to Houston?

 

If you are in Tokyo, you need more than $240 a day for your groceries!

 

and if they question the expense report you could break into a Donovan song...

 

I think this is a pretty stupid idea by cisco. Why not just say yeah, this is what we are going to give you for the month and be done with it. Why make it a silly game: if you abuse this you are fired. It's the kind of silly thing big corporations think up. That's why I hate the corporate world. No common sense.

 

so much waste and we wonder why nothing important in the grand scheme of things ever gets accomplished

 

Buy out the Sushi bar and have an all-you-can-eat buffet with the next-door-neighbors.

Real wasabi.

Imported cheese.

Kobe steaks.

Gourmet Coffee beans.

Pate

Caviar

240 a day?

Here in the Philippines my family averages 6,378 Philippine Pesos or 150 US dollars a month on groceries.

So if Cisco is dishing out $240 a day for 3 months, which i guess when converted to work days is an estimated 65.

65 x 240 per day = 15,600 US $.
15600 US $ = 663,312 Philippine ₱.

663,312 ₱/6,378 ₱ per month = 104 months

104 months/12 months = 8.67 years

That's an estimate of about 8.67 years worth of groceries for my family. :grin:

 

Easily.

 

If you don't mind cooking every single course of every meal and you can live without steak or lots of pre-processed stuff; $240 a day is completely do-able. I'm not sure it would be that difficult eating at restaurants all the time either. More to the point, I'd be a little embarrassed if my AMEX or bank statement showed $1,800/month in food expenses and I'm over 3 bills.

 

Stock up on emergency supplies one day.

Probably couldn't do the rest.

 

Yea, it's a chore......greatest chore ever!

 

You can't spend it at eateries? Man, that's tough. I could spend the bread at restaurants every day in my sleep. I'd find a way, though. Kobe beef and the like parked in the freezer, and why not? Haven't you ever gone in with a couple of folks and bought a grass fed cow, had it sliced and diced, and split it up? Done properly, freezing meat works just fine. When you're talking about high end stuff, sure, it's better fresh, but that's true with anything. Frozen high end beef is going to taste better than frozen beef from HEB!

 

So 60 a day per person?

I think that's doable.

But going to the supermarket daily does feel like a chore though since you said no buying in advance.
