How much money do you spend on food every day ?

Somebody with 4 or 5 kids one starred you because they are spending $150 plus everyday to feed their family...

$20 isn't bad... with tip and all if you can eat out for $20/day that's pretty good..

Large families do have to spend a lot more than that Thats true.

I have a food budget for my myself, wife 2 year old an newborn baby, of $1000/month. Add to that diapers, and those two items alone add up to more than what my total income was when my two year old daughter was born.

with todays inflation rate... You are looking at food costs at about $558/month per family member in just food costs!! Wow.. And that's getting by on the cheap... Just imagine having 4 or more kids..

I feel for you....

i probably spend about 10 bucks a day but i get groceries and make my own food. I cant afford to eat out every meal...wish I could.

OP - do you stop at Starbucks a few times a day, too, and spend an extra $8 per day?

One day I'll know this all by myself :-)

The last few months have been interesting as we prepared for our new baby born 10 days ago. I am most fortunate that the three credit card companies I work with have faith in my ability to repay and as a result jacked up my credit limits. I should have the debt paid and be back to a balanced budget by January, but ....

The increase in food prices is crazy. Every week we stock up on a bunch of groceries, primarily at Walmart, and every week I notice my average food bill increasing for the same items. Gas is another bugger for me right now. I work as a delivery driver and have to pay for my own gas. My car gas bill is about $650/month. $1000 for food, $150 for baby needs, $650 for gas .... ouch, it adds up.

Anyhow, anybody with family know all about this and has their own issues to deal with.

10-15 for breakfast, 15-25 lunch, 25-125 Dinner
50-165 a day, once evry month or so I'll splurge on a 300-400 dinner.

I spend about $100 a month on food, so about $3.50 a day. I cook at home and never eat out. I eat quite well too.

As someone who actually does research in statistics/ML, you "OMG itz da data minerz oh noez" tards crack me up.

Do you fuckwads not understand how complex it would to mine the data on this site?

What string metric would you use? How would you preprocess/clean the data automatically (regex can only take you so far)? How would you cluster everything? How do you then perform the necessary screening of the data?

And finally, do you tards really think that unsupervised learning could successfully be employed to identify "targets" on this site?



Go back to your mothe'rs basement, or in Burt's case, the Glenn Beck shill cave known as the hospice center!

:clues::cluenort:

Yep....and it's not that difficult in the level of complexity.

OH...and Shillen?

....if you are going to try and insult me, at least have the intelligence to make your own smilies instead of stealing mine every single time.



That's REALLY sad and pathetic.

Why didn't you answer the questions that I asked?

Here, let's make it easier for you...what string metric should be employed to maximize unsupervised learning success---relative to other metrics considering that string length is random---on GLP without server log access, for identifying potential targets?

(HINT: Your answer will show just how ignorant you are with respect to this topic.)

Can we draw on them with permanent marker now? I bagsy red :-)

all of it

Maybe because you are a douche?

Do you have some kind of self-esteem problem that you need me to babysit you?
Somehow it seems I have permanently irked and twerked your infantile ego in some way in the past and now you feel somehow permanently inferior so you go full retard using my smilies OVER AND OVER ad nauseum to bolster your hurt ego.

You are a very VERY sad human being.

No friends huh?

So you cannot answer the question regarding the string metric to be employed. I thought you knew about 'data mining.' Who is the ignorant one now?

Whoops, your ignorance of statistical learning is showing, man.

Stay ignorant my friend.

:bighfpoo:

We do it on about $8/day as well, for two of us. We have a really great market that sells fruits and veggies for cheap nearby, and we make pretty much everything ourselves at home. In a bad month we drop as much as $250, but that's not very common.

Where did you go Gummer?

Were you unable to answer my simple question(s)?

It's not very often that I get the opportunity to talk with someone knowledgeable is one of my research areas, more so on GLP.

Were you full of shit and hoping to bullshit your way through a discussion dealing with the practical applications of statistical learning?

That's too bad man. Just think of the discussion that we missed out on, especially given what has been published in the ASA's Computational Statistics journal this past year,

Oh well.

WTF

tell me how please

I cook at home hardly ever eat out and dont feel like im eating very well most of the time.

and easily spend 400 a month in groceries

I cannot speak for the person that you quoted, we store our fruits/vegetables 'properly.' Onions, garlic, potatoes, etc. go in brown paper bags and are kept in a dark place. Other produce is stored at the correct humidity.

I get a lot of food in bulk. We have a restaurant supplier around here called gordons food service and buy a lot from there. The main things I get there are chicken breasts, pork loins, and turkey lunch meat. The chicken depending on if they have a sale or not is $10-13 for 5 pounds, the pork loins (before the price got jacked up because of some virus) are $2 a pound give or take, but are in 5-8 pound loins. And the lunch meat is maybe $3 a pound but you have to ask them to slice it.
I plan my meals around that.

Stay away from big grocery stores if you can help it. Try to find smaller independent markets that are selling fruit and produce competitively. Delis are good for bulk meat packs - buy a $50 sampler to have various meats available for a couple of months. Obviously, buy lots of cheap staples - rice, beans, etc to go with everything else. Instead of preparing just enough for one meal, make enough for 4-5 to eat the next day or two. It's totally possible to survive on that amount (and eat well), but you have to adjust your way of thinking at first.
