VPX Promo: The Macho Man Grocery Carrying Challenge

[ucsumma]

Another great entry. Mirin your kitchen man and loading up on that protein

Thanks man! I tell people how much chicken I buy and they generally don't believe me. I'll eat 10oz of chicken 3x a day, so 10 pounds generally lasts right about 5 days.

strong entry, gotta love the yogurt stash!

We honestly go through about 6 of these a day - the macros are freaking awesome (80 calories, 12g protein, 9g carbs, zero fat).

Great entry man thanks for all the extras and effort you put into it. I also noticed your grocery carrying technique is the same as mine... Lol, load the left hand up with mostly all the bags and only a couple bags in the right hand to shut/open doors with. Well done.

Also my grandparents are from Fayetteville man, I hit the anytime fitness up there fairly often when I'm in town.

PM me if you're ever in - we can throw around some heavy sh*t.

Nice entry man! You on that double tax time? That sucks man

Freaking nuts - 9.5%!!! Some co-workers buy almost everything online just to avoid that insane sales tax.

Nice entry bud, very nice!

Appreciate it!

***WALMART ADVENTURE***

Ok, so I went shopping today for my normal foodstuffs at the ONLY grocery store available in Arkansas For the record, my monthly grocery bill is almost as high as my mortgage - I never eat out and end up prepping Chicken and Beef about 2.5x a week (my Instagram followers are sick of my repetitive food prep pics).


My future gains, awaiting their turn on the retail treadmill

RESULT:



Even though it wasn't required, I was interested in how much the groceries weighed. I knew it would be at least 20 pounds, because I had almost 20 pounds worth of meat alone (10 pounds of chicken - should last a few days, and 5 pounds of extra lean beef).

I weighed 180 pre-groceries and 220 with the groceries, so it was a short "farmer's walk" with 40 pounds. I didn't have to go up any stairs like my man dazedncnfz, so I at least parked outside of my garage to have a bit more of a walk.

All told, my total came to $153.57 - I even used a few coupons because I'm cheap and in the spirit of the promo that's what I would have done anyway.



Thank you VPX and ISurfNudeBrah for the very cool promo - good luck to everyone!

Nice Kitchen! Looks very similar to mine !

**It sucks I can't participate, I do my bulk shopping at club stores (BJ's, Sam's Club) and they don't even give you bags, usually just leftover boxes.... :/

Thanks man! I've tried shopping at Club a few times but just honestly don't like the experience - stores are just too damn big for me.

Holy hell you have you a trek. Half expected you to pic up a few Hobbits and the wizard Gandalf along the way.

LMAO it sucks because it didnt cost very much but i kid you not i had at least 70 pounds of groceries. three 2 liter bottles of pop 6 33oz bottles of water and 4 normal 17oz bottles. so alot of weight in liquid.

That's a crazy long walk. Gjdm. For this contest we need to see your receipt so we know your total from the trip.

This is a great promo idea. I wish I wasn't leaving tomorrow for vacation, or I would participate.

I've been known to carry in all of my groceries for my family of three all at once, generally ~$200 worth

Groceries for today?

[ISurfNudeBrah]

Happy 4th everybody!

Do you have a BJ's by you? They have these chicken breasts pre-cooked in like pattie form (grilled chicken) I get like 3-4 packs of those, 2-3 packs of the turkey sausage (the Jumbo packs), the microwavable bags of quinoa brown rice w/garlic (9 pack I think), some whole wheat flat "buns" 100 cal/bun high fiber, couple bags of whole wheat bagels, 1-2 cases of water, 1 skim milk, and 1-2 egg beaters + 18pack eggs. (I also found they have supps like GCB, B-Complex, Omegas) pretty cheap. All in all I get 80% of my shopping done in 20ish minutes, 10 mins max to checkout ( I go during the week, the weekends get PACKED! ) O and of course I get a few bags of avocados (my new love <3 ). The other 20% is wal-mart+Shop Rite+Price Chopper . I love things easy aka microwavable. Unfortunately when I go back to school in the fall, and will have more expenses and less income, I am going to have to cook like a normal person lol. O yea also if anyone has one by them I suggest Trader Joes! Great stuff there!

Nope, down here in Arkansas it's Walmart, Sam's or nothing! It's weird not having ANY grocery stores or other Club stores around.

Of course I get a few bags of avocados (my new love <3 ).

Same - I've been eating one a day, freaking love the things. It's weird how much their price changes though - some times they're $0.88/each others they are $1.98/each. Someone posted this online and it's so true:

[cumminslifter]

bu bump!

I KNOW! They should honestly be traded as a commodity, they fluctuate like any would.... It is a food, so I see no reason why it couldn't be traded! I also noticed wherever I go it's not sold by weight, it's sold per/avocado or x amount of avocados for y$ ... I honestly don't even know the macro breakdown of an avocado I just love em!
