Thread: College Student Grocery List?

It all depends on the person and where you live.

For me...my third in University my grocery list for tomorrow is:

Water
Veggie Chunks
Fish
Pasta
Mac & Cheese
Crackers
Cheese
Bread
Drink Mix



You can blend and mix stuff and get a big meal remember, example if you have some tin food u can mix it in with the mac and cheese and have a big meal that stretches a bit further.

It does depend on where u live with $20(150 Rand) in South Africa I can go far!

Grocerie list

2kg(4lb) tomatos. R10
2kg onions. R10
1 head of lettuce. R5
1 quecumber R5

2kg onions. R10
1 head of lettuce. R5
1 quecumber R5
2kg potatos. R20
500g(1lb) all bran cereal R20
2litre milk. R15
Wholewheat bread. R5
Doz eggs. R10
500g pasta. R5
500g sandwich meat R20
500g minced beef. R25
250g cheese. R15
500g rice. R10

That comes down to R170 or $22. I also think that your first shopping trip is going to be the most expensive because you need salt,pepper,oil,butter and condiments, but I'm sure you wont use everything on the list in one week, so that should make up for it.

now just eat cereal in the morning, bread for lunch and get creative for dinner.

End List

My grocery list is:

• 500g of Rice and 300g of Pasta(less than 50 cents, in Italy)
• 200g pork meat, I use it to make a nice risotto (again, pork is cheap ~2€)
• chicken (cheap! ~3€)
• 300g high quality steak(I think the most expensive item on the list, after wine. ~10€ I think)
• 200g of Pancetta(it's like a super bacon ~5€)
• 3-4 Peppers
• 2 onions
• 4 tomatoes
• 1kg of Apples
• 1kg of Oranges
• 500g walnuts (fruit and vegetables total: ~12€)
• a bottle of wine (~15€)

I always buy the highest quality food possible(except for wine of course), you could buy the same things for less.
