"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I noticed that im spending hella money on groceries compared to the other guys on here. I figured that if people posted their grocery lists, we would find ways to get our nutrition and better food with less money. Its totally alright you don't wanna calculate the prices or just wanna suggest a few items we could add to our list. I'll go first.

Chicken breast or beef for 2.99/lb - 20$
two gallons of milk- 4$
24 eggs - 4$
cottage cheese - 2$
fruit/vegies- 5$
water - 4$
5 can pack of salmon- 10$
bread - 2$
whole wheat pasta - 2$
condiments and stuff- 7$
juice- 2$
beans- 2$
tortilla chips- 2$
cheese- 2$
oatmeal- 2$


Total: around 70$/week. Total 280 a month.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Mine looks quite a bit like yours. And I happen to have my most recent receipt laying here...

Whole Grain Bagels - $2.50
Whole Grain Bread - $4
2 Gallons Milk - $5
Brown Rice - $2
Eggs - $1
6 cans tuna - $3
Cottage Cheese - $2
Protein Bars - $8
Potatoes - $2.50
Chicken - $5
Ground Beef - $7

Plus a couple other things that are every other week, plus $30 whey protein/month, comes to about $250/month. I don't really see a cheaper way to do it, though.

Some of you guys who buy a lot of one thing might try shopping at Sam's Club. Wal-mart sucks, but Sam's usually has decent quality food.
