Buying in bulk is fantastic. Having recently gone bankrupt, I am on a very very tight budget, but you know with wise shopping, I think I am eating better now than when I had a large purse for food. One other spin off to buying in bulk is always having food in, so you do really cut down on rushing out to the shop becuase you are starving, and end up spending too much. A great tip, ( well for me anyway) is when I see a good deal on fruit or veg and buy a load of it, I keep it in the fridge it will last 10 times longer and then you do not end up throwing it out becuase you bought too much. So many people who buy in bulk end up throwing out a lot of it. I have learned so much since I have not had any money about eating good quality food, but at a fraction of the cost I used to pay. Sorry I have gone on too long, so will leave it there oh except to say I really want to try the oats. Thanks for the great information. Buying in bulk is fantastic.

I don't think it's really necessary to soak oats overnight- mine always turn out creamy and perfect so long as I make them on the stove. But savoury oats! Gotta try it. I bet coconut milk tastes really good too. I love to mix frozen blueberries in my porridge (and a little milk) but sadly they are the most expensive fruit :( <strong>@ Bianca: Give soaking your oats overnight a try, I promise you will be impressed with the improved taste and texture. As for Apple CIder VInegar it is a great cleanser for the body and can help improve digestion, definitely a staple for me especially when you take into account the price of the stuff.....</strong> What do you do with cider vinegar that makes it a staple?

Weigh gainers can see their grocery bills skyrocket because the amount of food they consume can literally double or even triple. And me being cheap, I'm always comparing calories to cents. Buying in bulk is a great method to reduce costs, especially costs of going to the store more often! One of the cheapest sources of bulking calories I have found are Maruchan Ramen Noodles, SUPER cheap, especially if you buy them in bulk. When part of a balanced diet, these things can really kick your gains up a notch. http://bodybuildingboon.com/2010/03/15/800-calories-for-40-cents/ Hey Chris, This post caught my eye because recently I wrote about something similar… Weigh gainers can see their grocery bills skyrocket because the amount of food they consume can literally double or even triple.

Will the 15 bodyweight squat be intense enough? Chris,
