Eating Cheap!

[intrinsic1]

About to start a bulking cycle and wow! 5000 calories a day can cost a bundle!

What are some of the best foods that have a good calorie to cost ratio?
Peanut butter looks good... I will only eat clean so lets skip the fast foods.

Any suggestions? What's your fav?

Cheap is the only way to go.

Oatmeal - Dirt cheap, and is the source for 90% of my carbs. I now take it in liquid form (blended in a shake with milk or OJ). This makes for much less volume to consume. I can buy 5kg of Oatmeal for like $8 and it lasts a long while.

Chicken - you can't really get around this, but try to buy in bulk, like from Costco or Sams Club. You save a few bucks. I don't recommend frozen breasts, they aren't filled with quite the same nutrients.

Potatoes, Yams - very cheap as well.

Good Steak is obviously expensive, but I like it cuz it's like a cheat meal for me cuz I find it tastey.

I recently scrapped my weight gainer for a homemade shake, with more cals (and healthier ones at that)...I got it from this forum I think.

Ah yes my age old delema as well.

Two Words...Costco---Wholesale. Buy in bulk...and start bulking.
But depending on how much you buy...you can walk outta there with eveything you need for the week for about 125 bucks a week. I don't know how tight things are for you.

But if you don't have one near you...you'll just have to stick with some staples that will be reletively cheap.

-tuna
-milk
-oatmeal
-eggs---(alot of eggs if your really broke..trust me)
-potatoes
-broccoli...string beans...carrots
-chicken and or fish--(chopped red meat might get a little costly if your trying to bulk.)
-whole wheat bread
-peanut butter
-don't forget water

...thats all i can think of.
