Budget Grocery Shopping w/ Pro Bodybuilders | Fouad Abiad’s OG Grocery Hauls
Randall Smitham November 11, 2019 100 Comments
we are almost at the grocery store here
in Windsor where I live and we’re gonna work on letting you guys see what I used
to eat coming up when I didn’t have a good job I didn’t have any money I’m
basically gonna show you guys how to get big on a budget all right so bananas are always a must
they don’t have to be organic you can get regular bananas not the most
expensive fruit but I always kind of the made room in my budget for a little
bit of fruit so when I first started out I was bouncing and bouncers in this city
make like minimum wage I used to take money at the door and shit let people in
and kind of make extra money that way but no there wasn’t a lot of money to go
around but I just made sure you know I’ve it’s not that hard like it really
isn’t like potatoes you can get a five-pound bag of potatoes for five
bucks so I made that shit go a long way like I ate a lot of potatoes I ate a lot
of oatmeal I ate a lot of rice like a bag of rice you can get big big bag of
rice for ten bucks so these are the kind of things you want to look at when
you’re trying to get big on a budget you got to find what works for you and these
are the cheapest foods so we’ll grab a bag of potatoes five pound bag of potatoes five bucks so same thing when you’re buying chicken
okay you’re gonna buy the cheaper cuts or the cheaper brands so like this is
the grocery store brand they’re looking at $15 a kilogram
7.50 7.50 a pound same thing with the chicken thighs but if you get into the
more expensive stuff you know you’re talking about the more prime cuts of
chicken breasts this is 25 dollars a kilogram or 12.50 a pound so you want to
keep you want to look at like drumsticks chicken thighs ground chicken ground
turkey maybe not the highest end cuts of
chicken breast that’s where you’re gonna live if you’re if you’re buying chicken but more importantly you’re probably gonna live more in the beef
area because ground beef is gonna be really cheap in comparison to chicken
so if you come over here if we get into like a value pack which
is probably what I would have bought back in the day you’re looking at $12 a
kilogram or $6 a pound so you’re saving a couple bucks a pound
this is probably what I’m gonna go for most of the time and it also honestly in
the offseason probably what I eat most of anyway it mixes well with rice potato
pasta whatever you’re making this is gonna be my go-to so we’ll get some
ground beef we’ll get some chicken let’s grab some chicken breasts or some
chicken thighs listen when your body building and you’re worrying about money
you don’t really have the luxury of being like oh I can’t I gotta eat the
leanest cut of this or the leanest cut of that when you’re trying to come up and
you don’t have a lot of money you’re like okay if I have to buy the ground
beef and I have to strain it then that’s something I’ll do oatmeal is always a must and this is
four bucks okay so this bag last you a week if you’re eating like a lot of
oatmeal you’re eating a couple cups a day this will last you like a week or
more so you know it’s only four dollars carbs are the cheapest if anybody tells
you you know carbs are expensive then they’re buying the wrong carb okay I
never spent a ton of money on like really really expensive spices and spice
mixes and shit I would grab a big container of salt and a big container of
pepper that shit would last me forever it’s a minor expense but something you
got to think about okay six bucks for this big-ass thing right okay this is a
little bit more expensive but I have to make my food taste good somewhat so I
grab the peppercorns with the grinder it’s like seven bucks for this but this
is going to last you forever like this is it’s a lot of pepper
so I’m not worried about this I’m gonna have to buy once every fucking two
months pasta is fucking cheap now if you’re
gonna buy rice pasta you’re gonna spend a little more but you don’t want to you
don’t have to do that if we go over here like this is crazy look at this four of
these for five bucks so in the offseason when I’m growing I’ll usually smash one
or two of these a day okay so this is five bucks okay and one fifth of the
package is 63 grams of carbs so you literally most for most people most guys
you know 200 pound bodybuilder 220 pound bodybuilder for most guys this is 5
meals so you literally bought 5 meals for $1.25 okay this is how you
save money oh we need some pasta sauce this is gonna sound gross to you guys but
I didn’t care back in the day but I used to get this big jug of like prego pasta
sauce and they used to have it at all the grocery stores I don’t see it in
here anymore so I live down here somewhere you know these aren’t as good
but you’re at 2.99 these are the types of pasta sauces I used to eat back in the day
these ragu over here even better 2.50 I lived in the 2.50 area
somewhere okay so we have rice we have all these different types of rice and
they’re 10 bucks I mean look at this is insane all right got like the 17 pound bag of rice and it’s ten
bucks this will last you fuck man this could last you a month depending on how much pasta you’re eating you come in here and you get like you know chickens on sale
buy fucking ten packs of chicken don’t worry about it if fucking portion them off
what I used to do actually to be honest with you is I would go to a butcher and
I would get big bags of fucking ground beef and I would have them portion them
into one-pound bags and it would freeze the bag now when I look at this for some reason
I don’t believe this is actually olive oil
it looks like fucking canola oil with a olive sticker on it so I like people to
fool me if you’re gonna fool me you got to do a better job so to me this looks more so
I’ll spend a little bit more money this one’s $8.99 or even this one here
is $9.99 it’s organic so it looks pretty authentic to me this looks like a you
know straight from Italy so oh so you know but again like okay it’s ten bucks
it’s a lot of money to spend on one item but this item you know depending how
much fat is in your diet this could last a month so you know we’re talking about
buying weekly but some of the items I have in here are gonna be monthly
purchases like you’re not gonna buy this weekly you’re not gonna buy this salt
weekly most of the weekly stuff that we’re buying is the meat the oatmeal the
bananas you know the rice even is gonna last more than a week too I have to be
honest with you guys nowadays I can no longer eat like shitty tuna I have to
eat like a little bit like the nicer tuna the tuna here is the 1.49
on the bottom there that’s probably what I would went for back in the day I can’t
eat that anymore I just I can’t get it down so now I’m in the the flaky white
tuna it’s got to be albacore so I’m probably here so it’s 3.50 which is not
much cheaper than you can probably get a chicken breast for so I’m not really
saving myself money by buying tuna anymore and I don’t think you would be
either unless you’re down at the bottom if you’re gonna spend 4 bucks on this
you could probably get a chicken breast for 4 bucks if you’re not a good cook or if you’re
cooking with less than the highest quality foods condiments are a must like
one of my meals back in the day man that shitty can of tuna with some baked
potatoes in Italian dressing and mash all that shit together and that was a
meal and it’s cheapest as fuck cuz the tuna was cheap the potatoes are cheap and
then you get a bottle of Italian dressing for like five bucks so
condiments are an absolute must if you’re gonna get your food down so for
tuna you know you’re looking at Mayo this is five bucks we go with this mustard is always a must if you’re gonna
buy the frenches you’re gonna pay a little more this one’s a dollar
ninety-nine I’ve never eaten the no-name ketchup
I’m a sucker for marketing so I’m going with the no sugar added Heinz three
bucks if you’re gonna be eating a lot of
chicken you know drumsticks thighs or cheaper cuts of chicken breast barbecue
sauce is a must you’re gonna be dousing it so this is a
dollar ninety-nine because we’re not rich we can’t afford fresh organic
vegetables unless we go to like a market you know if you go to like a farmers
market you can probably get cheaper vegetables and stuff there but if you’re
just going to try and pick everything up here frozen vegetables probably cheapest
bet so this is what I was using for vegetables back in the day I don’t know
if this counts as vegetables it probably doesn’t it’s like really just like the
sugariest worse vegetables you can find but I’m just being real man this is what
I ate I’d mix it with my rice mix it with whatever and help me get my food down so egg whites are super super popular right
now I mean they’ve always been popular but if you’re gonna do egg whites if you
have to if you if you have a little bit extra money you’re gonna be over here
this is like the grocery store brand it’s three bucks for a carton so that’s
actually a pretty good buy like if you think about it that’s three bucks for 50
grams of protein so you’re looking at 3 bucks if you’re eating usually if you’re
200 to 250 pound guy you’re eating 50 grams of protein for a meal three bucks
for a meal is pretty good so throw in some egg whites and then you always got
to have eggs because eggs are probably like the best bodybuilding food ever you
know these are $4.99 so the only thing we’re missing now to complete my diet it
would be some peanut butter so let’s grab that
so we’re still gonna look for the cheapest one so what I used to do is
just grab this one this Kraft one is just peanuts there’s nothing else in it so
yeah peanut butter is a must it’s a little bit more expensive because we’re
not buying the regular shitty brand we’re buying like the natural just
peanuts so you’re gonna pay $6.99 for this but it’s still better than paying
$6.99 for this and a little bit more in this one this is probably a better
quality brand but I don’t give a shit when I’m trying to save money
I want more so this is more okay guys so that’s our bodybuilding on a budget we
got our eggs our chicken thighs the ground beef we got all our stuff we need rice
pasta everything we need to get big now we’re gonna check go to the checkout see
where we’re at but like I said these aren’t all weekly items so I’m gonna try and
ring up the weekly items first let’s see what that comes to and then I’m gonna
add the other things in that we’re gonna that are gonna last a lot longer like
this jar peanut butter or you know this bottle of olive oil that will last
probably a month so let’s see what our weekly food comes to we’re gonna try and
stay under 100 bucks and then we’ll add in our ancillary items that are probably
gonna make a total a little more but they’re also gonna last a lot longer
than a week see that’s what I’m saying so you can buy
your weekly food for a hundred bucks and that food will last me you know a little
while like three days four days and then we’re gonna get into some of this stuff
which is gonna last longer but we’re gonna need anyway so you can go ahead
and add it so the final total is 130 476 I should go I should be on The Price is

Am I the only one that noticed the donut shirt? 😂
This video is meh.
If you're trying to eat on a budget and you're in a city. First and foremost get a Costco membership (or the like). Everything there is MUCH cheaper and will save you a ton.
E.g. You can literally get 3 ketchups for what he spent on the 1. 6 cartons of egg whites for $9 instead of 3 at the price he paid. So on and so on.
Secondly, never buy full price. Stock up when things are on sale. Just about everything goes on sale.
Scrap this entire video and get yourself a Costco membership. I get 3x the amount of food for what he just spent.
5 dollars for 5 pounds of potatoes is a scam, i can have it for 3 bucks
Man I you are getting screw on everything you buy, you can have all cheaper in other market places
So do u fill in your day with protein shakes or mass amounts of meat and just using one of the high carb items as just reaching that daily gramage
For people looking for extra savings I would also recommend Costco and/or Walmart or anything sold in bulk. Meat is usually cheaper at Costco and as Fouad mentioned, you can freeze that stuff.
Goes through all that spends a load and "this'll last me 4 days" LOL
Or go to Costco for the big packs. I think it's usually cheaper even though there's a yearly fee.
when i'm bulking i usually just eat ass , its free.
I am not sure what state you are , but this store is pricey
you can get this down to $40 us by shopping sales only
i used to do $40-50/week with almost the exact same meals
I can do the same 4 times cheaper
Yo you can buy a big bag of salt for like £1 in England 😂
Holy fuck brother. Those prices are insane. I pay $1.80 a pound for cheap chicken and $3 ish per pound for 80/20 ground beef
You don't shop at metro when you're broke bro
Holy shit, chicken breast is $1.79 a pound here in Maryland
obama has been bathing in that dirt again
Damn those prices are astronomical!!! 10 pounds of potatoes in Ohio is $1.99. 10 pounds of rice $2.99 1 pound of chicken thighs $1.99 Chicken breast $3.99
How you can tell this is a good dude: When he picks up the bag of oatmeal, he refaced the other pack he bumped a little bit without thinking about it. 😀
just busted a nut in my toilet and YouTubes algorithm puts me on this.. im not mad at it
Did he say that he paid 6 dollars for that thing of salt!? Salt is like 50 cents lol
Huh, maybe it's because it's Canada but I generally find chicken prices way lower than ground beef
Is that a donut media shirt, this guys into cars too cause thats 🔥
no sugar added ketchup but $1 bottle of heinz bbq sauce. nice shirt tho
I'm doing this right now but it is a lot cheaper in the UK.Everything you put in the trolley is a staple for me even the Quakers oatmeal lol. I was surprised how healthy you can eat on a budget i was spending more on junk food.
That donut media shirt tho👌🏽
Wow, chicken there is expensive! Its only 1.89 a pound for chicken breat in Texas.
nice, genfood bananas.
why does't he bend his knees for picking stuff from the lower shelves?
He forgot to mention where he buys his steroids, testosterone and other performance enhancement drugs on a budget.
LIDL IS MUCH CHEAPER
solid video! Cheers and thanks for the insight
I love this guy. I think the exact same thing when I'm buying these things.
Good God $7.50 per pound is the cheap chicken????
to save money on pasta sauce making it homemade is super cheap and easy from canned tomatoes!
Way too many carbs. Ground beef may be cheaper, but it's like 50% fat…. so if it was $2.00 / lb…. now it's $4.00 / lb. when you realize it's half fat. I'm not saying you should avoid fat. Fat is good for you… but you're not going to drink all the fat leftover in the pan or whatever.
Great video..Really helpful for a young BB maybe just moving out on their own..But l was lol at the end when you paid and l spotted what l believe was a Louis Vuitton wallet!! 🤑👍🏻
i used to do that 10 year ago
damn i need to work out, this week i ma start.
Metro is one of the most expensive Canadian grocery stores to go to.
most of them are 24/7 and hence charge more to stay open.
Coulda cut this bill WAY down by going to basically any other grocery store
Mustard is a "must".
No sir… it's a Mustard.
Where the hell does this guy live that chicken breast is $12/lbs?!
Wow…That's crazy. I pay $2/lb ($4.40/Kg) for chicken breast…everything there looks crazy expensive.
My man wearing a donut operator shirt
Diabetes city
dude, you collecting carbs
At first i thought he was pulling up to petco lol
Whats with this dude hanging on to that windshield wiper lever like its a handle bar?
5lbs of potatoes for $5 is pretty high. I guess it depends on what store you go to and where you live. Where I live, 10lbs of potatoes is $1.99.
I get those rotisserie chickens, pound for pound they're cheaper and it's all precooked.
where do you buy steroids on a budget?
seatbelt…
Prices are really expensive at that store jeez and we live in same province, ex ragu is always 1.99 here, and it was 2.50 there.
your weekly food would last me a month!
Why do so many body builders look like they are retarded? Is that form steroid use?
frozen veggies are so sugary because their cooked further
forgot to show us how much the roids costs
COSTCO.!!! GO THERE
you have a small head, it looks like a niple
why are most bodybuilders are borderline midgets?
Loool
13:49 He meant Supermarket Sweep
Hey man, leave that expensive store and go to Grocery Outlet Bargain Market. way better deals https://www.mapquest.com/us/california/grocery-outlet-bargain-market-12099987
$7 a pound for chicken?! How the fuck?!
regular eggs are better than egg whites
what is the peanut butter for if he doesn't have bread
You just bought some expensive olive oil followed by Italian dressing. You could have made the dressing from the olive oil and bypassed all the weird shit they add to those bottled dressings. And the bbq sauce, you can make that with the ketchup and brown sugar, And you could have raised the chickens.
he's ready to go into neutral at any moment
Bodybuilding's foremost diva
wanna save $? Go to the Mexican stores.
I like the way this guy talks, shops, and gets the deal.
This was a surprisingly cool video.
Hope Fouad does well when competition season starts again.
if you live in Ontario, NO FRILLS is the grocery store to go to save money. Metro is one of the more expensive ones.
Yeo if this guy wasn’t on roids, he would be fat as fuck. He eats like shit.
He missed out the steroid aisle
6 bucks for salt? lmao whats this guy taling about ….u can get twice the ammount for 89 cents…..SMH people and theyre dumb videos
First video I've seen of yours. I enjoy your no-bullshit personality! It's interesting to see how bodybuilders shop.
Deca, Sustanon, Somatropen, Test Suspension, are all weekly items too.
Fouad abiad is one of the coolest guys out there and real inspiration
PS nice wallet
America is expensive
Does he shave his whole face
Love watching videos of bodybuilders discussing nutrition. Really get a lot of helpful tips from these vids.
garbage in…garbage out –
at the end of the day, you are eating carcass. not healthy on any scale.
I learned quite a lot from this good video.
wow this man is a survivor i don't have any income and im disabled battling 3rd stage leukemia i wish i could go shopping ..
The prices folks have up there are insane.
extra : do not believe the olive oil – turn it over & look where it is made
stay away from that oatmeal -Deadly glyphosate now being sprayed on oats, wheat, barley and
other crops as a dessicant Quaker Oats admits that its oats are sprayed with glyphosate by farmers.
try the polish mustard it's tasty
grow your own herbs – it's too easy and cheap for seed packets
if you can, grow your own veg – it's fresh & gives you added light cardio
Ground beef cheaper than chicken 2:40 ? Is this America? Cause chicken $2.99/lb beef $5.99/lb
my appetite and wallet have entered the chat
theres really no need to buy budget food. everyone saves 50c on food and then spends $11 on a pint of beer at the pub. Just buy the good food.
you do know you could of went to a cheaper food store
10 for $10 Snickers bars at my local grocery store.
Jesus that food is expensive as fuck, 12$ a pound for chicken?!
Aldi has tuna for like .68 cents a can if anybody needs cheap protein
Thank you this video was extremely useful!
I don't even lift and I'm watching xD
ok so dude here clearly come up from the struggle.. We can tell when they fake that shit!
