之前喺另外一個discussion提過一個sample grocery list （for 2 people），好多都覺得唔可行，不如喺度繼續討論啦。
Sample grocery shopping list (1 week supply)：
pre-slice meat about $4/pack. (1 pack per day) $28
3 onion $2
3-4 tomato $2
bean sprout $1
Veggie (3 pack) from T&T (half pack per day) $7
Fruit (e.g. 7 orange ~$5)
bread $3
total: $48
the remaining $2 is for "柴米油鹽"

Bread is actually for breakfast, lunch I have left over from dinner the day before.
For fruit, $5 can actually get you more oranges if it's small one. Assume $0.69/lb, medium size orange is about 0.6-0.7lb. So $5 can get you 10-12 oranges.

Some people mention "soup". One 火炭牌青紅蘿蔔湯 pack is about $6.99. It's good enough for 3-4 days for the two of us. Of course, if the soup is fancy with whole chicken, pig bones, then it's different. But I consider those soup pack pretty decent.

For meat budget ($4/day) I am giving it rather generous. If I buy lean ground pork, it's $3.99/lb and usually cook 0.5lb per day, even cheaper.

One week sample grocery list 2 (for 2 people):
pre-slice meat about $4/pack. (1 pack per day) $28
3 Onion $2
Mushroom $3
Fruit $5
Veggie $7
Bread $3

soup: 芥菜滾瘦肉 or 節瓜滾瘦肉
個瘦肉會搵豉油爆番香，又有一樣送。

I approximately spend 20-30 bucks per week usually but I spend more if I buy seafood or rice.

Richmond public market啲菜通常都平啲，啲生果都幾新鮮，不過就無得pay by credit card。我就覺得aberdeen 啲菜都唔錯。肉就通常去yaohan買。

作者: supersuper 時間: 2010-10-1 15:02

we eat steak maybe once per month, that is already $12 a day from safeway (about $6 per piece of prime rib)
live tilapia fish cost about $10 too.
you are already not going out to eat, and u cannot eat some higher quality food at home?

also if u add the soup $6.99 for 3~4 days. u are already over 50.

$50 seems impossible for us.

I rarely eat beef now. And I don't like steak that much. I do buy a slice of fish once a while, that would trade off other meat budget so probably just had luncheon meat that day w/ the fish.
The soup budget comes from veggie (because the I would eat the veggie there as well, example of carrot soup), and the meat from the veggie.
Sometimes I bought fish paste (鯪魚漿), that makes soup w/ 節瓜 as well.

My grocery shopping pattern is similar to yours. More veggie, more fruit, less meat, some fish paste, no beef. I shop veggie in Aberdeen and the rest in Yaohan. Most probably, I shop on Fri after work or Sat afternoon. And, I check the T & T website before going to Yaohan.

See you there!

If it's $700 for 3 months so it's around $233 per month. It's not too far off from the budget ($50/week) talks about in the beginning of this thread.

But if it's really $700 each month it's really a lot to me....of course...need to know how many people in the family here...if it's family of 4 then it makes more sense...

It depends on if you go out to eat a lot, then you don't cook at home that much..

作者: Arlui 時間: 2010-10-7 13:39

I think veggies and fruits are generally cheap at any asian market. I usually will go to Costco or Superstore to get a bulk pack of meat (chicken, pork, etc) and freeze them into small packages and eat it for like...2 weeks. Even better I have friends who recommended me to marinate the meat before freezing them so when you thaw them for cooking it is already pre-marinated.

作者: supersuper 時間: 2010-10-7 13:43

sorry, maybe i am not that clear.

family of 3, monthly $700 on grocery, thats not only on food, other stuff like toliet stuff, housewhole stuff.. etc.

I also have another credit card, i think avg monthly is about $1000.. (things like bus pass, petrol, electric, eat out, toys... ) aii...

T&T has a large factory for making their own bakery products. They have so many stores.

作者: somewhereintime 時間: 2010-10-8 12:37

I have no intention to argue,
it is fact that they outsources for part of their products,
go there at 8:30 am and see it yourself.
Or ask Pine House.
They do all the cake decorating on site thou.
The problem is: different store uses different sub-contractors,
therefore the consistency is not stable

T & T has the centre kitchen and bakery in the head office, mainly for certain items. Some bakeries, such as 油條 are outsource from different suppliers.

Those birthday cakes are baked in-store. Those sold in Yaohan are baked in the bakeries which is across its parking lot. You will see those cakes are brought from there back to Yaohan by carts from time to time.

   I said part of, not all.
   The East 1 Ave  store has  many items other than Yau Tieu wheel
   over from the Bakery across the parking lot, just before the store
   opens at 9:00 am.
   It is nothing wrong about outsourcing, it is the quality control,
   including sanitation.
   The Metrotown store used to have  soup shipped to the deli, from
   unknown  source. I know the agent.

First you said they outsourced, now you said they outsourced "part of" their stuff.
Their cakes (including birthday cakes) and bread (including pineapple buns etc) are all made by themselves.
Even Safeway, Save On, Superstore outsourced some of their bakery products.

I stated clearly that they  outsource for part of their products
and they use Pine House as their back up supplier.
I also said that there is nothing wrong with outsourcing, it is business goal  to maximize profit.
their problem is quality control for the products they bring in,
and the sanitation issue.
I did not say they outsource any birthday cake, but certain  bread and pastries, especially chinese pastries.

作者: KittyLeung74 時間: 2010-10-8 16:27

Totally agreed. Outsourcing is the most effective way to provide the quality food to the customer and to maximize the profit margin. We, being the comsumer, can enjoy the food in the convenient way.

i don't know.. every time I go into a grocery store... I come out with $30 -$50 bill. (T&T, Yaohan, Supermarket 2000...etc)
Costco.. > $100 usually...
I never calculate how much I spent for grocery shopping but... I usually go to Wholefoods once a week or every two week to get some organic apples (I can only eat organic ones... I am allergic to regular apples

) and some items on sale. Bill usually is $15.

Then I have paid $250 for vegetables for a summer's supply of western vegetables that's like $40 a month.

So roughly, my grocery bill a month is like $30 + $50x4 + $100 + $40 for 2ppl => $370
And sometimes I go grocery shopping more than once a week as well.. (after work during the week)

This doesn't include things you guys talk about (e.g. rice - usually get 1 bag every 3 or 4 months and we likes rice from Thailand) and I seldom get seafood cos it's usually expensive to get them. some how my bf said he doesn't feel full after eating seafood, so I have to prepare extra dish of meat if I cook seafood.

作者: 布小熊 時間: 2010-11-10 22:07

Fibbi, I think you are really good to do $4/day meat budget. Cos I can never do it unless I am making things like Chili (with ground beef) or chicken wings on sale (2 lbs for 1 meal) or steam meat patty.
Cos baby back ribs, steaks, chicken breast, pork tenderloin usually cost more that $4 per meal to feed 2.

Less sugary kind of sweet but it's still sweet... Almost like what I remember how they tasted like when I was a kid. very "ching" kind of sweet.

for me, I believe more on fresh and local then organic or not.
I am still looking for local/organic farms that sells Asian veggies in the summer. After tasting some SUPER sweet siu choi (napa cabbage) and bak choi from my farmer last summer. This year, he didn't grown any Asian veggies...

keep in mind that our expense does not include rent yet.

anyways, before we have kids, our visa bill usually is less than 1k.
now with this little kid, its already 0.7k more, which is quite a lot to us already.

fyi, i paid $10 for internet, you have to call and ask for promo.
i paid $60 for two mobile phone, u have to call to get better deal or get some EPP pricing.

grocery is a thing that we have been try to save long time.
we buy only whats necessary, and also shop for stuff thats on sale. when I look at my tnt receipt, 90% of the item we buy are with (sale) on it.

thats why I was quite amazed by fibi's budget too.

shaw, high speed internet.
I dont really need that much of speed anyway
there was a promo earlier this year, from 24hours and metro, and I got extended for another 6 months.

i know my coworker using telus is paying $10 too. if u live in an appartment, there is usually these kind of deals, i suggest you check red flag deals site. i read it almost everyday for deals

u are paying too much, strongly suggest you take a look at red flag deal. I did a quick search and found people are getting 60-80 for what the service u are getting plus hdtv and pvr

作者: supersuper 時間: 2010-11-17 18:30

with digital home phone, i think its not really necessay.
everyone have mobile these days,
and if u really really want to get something for home, i suggest http://www.freephoneline.ca/
it works the same way as shaw digital phone. all you need to buy is the box.
