What is your average monthly grocery bill?

[thefuzz]

I started hunting this year, didn't get squat, as a means to supplement my beef. The prospect of 300-500 lbs of meat is enticing. During the summer growing season I spend a lot of time at the farm picking my own veggies. I can get out with 25-30% of the cost of things I can get in the grocery store. Also grow my own herbs which cuts down on part of my grocery bill. My costs for 2 is about $800 a month, but I try to eat organic and we eat out once a week.

That is for 3 meals a day plus snacks. I love jerky but it's spends to make.

 

Where are you hunting?

 

I don't hunt much anymore, in fact haven't shot a deer in 5 plus years, but you almost can't sit in a stand in Eastern NC and not see 10 per day.

$Texas for a family of 4.

 

But seriously, about $700 buying mostly organic meats, etc.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Probably $120 a week for myself. But that also includes eating out/drinks. 

 

Around $450-$500 month. 

 

The pains of NYC dining/prices.

what are you hunting to get 300 - 500 lbs of meat? Elk, moose?

But he could only carry 100 pounds back to the wagon.

I'm just thinking unless he's poaching in a rancher's back 40...what are the options?

 

 

do you guys have elk and moose down there?  I'm going out on a limb and thinking he's not shooting a 400 to 500 lb deer?

Hunting elk and deer. Figure I'll get about 250-280 off a decent size bull elk and 80 off a deer. And I'm hunting in Idaho/Montana.

Most deer around here are in the 130-200 range.  If you use all of your tags, you can get a lot of meat.

[Hawk]

gotcha...most deer around here will dress at 100 pounds...and that's a fairly big deer here.  Moose and Elk of course are a whole different story.  Good size moose will dress out at 500 - 600 pounds and an Elk isn't far behind....350 - 450 dressed.

I spent around $80 a week for just me, sometimes more if I eat out which is rare.

We have a few Elk up in the Mountains.  Shoot one though and they will put you under the jail.

aiming to keep it at $200 a month for the rest of the year. this should be possible due to the fact that i pretty much get free lunch and dinner at work every time i'm on the schedule, and that's 5-6 days a week.
