Credit cards are evil.
My guess is, that you have some help drinking all that booze, cut back on the parties you host. Your friends are probably one reason your food and alcohol bills are a little high. Put it to a test sometime, go a month or two clean (at home anyway), don't be the host, and don't go out buying rounds of shots for everyone. See how many of these friends are still hanging out, when the party dries up. Nothing wrong with having fun, but most people have their own money problems, and shift that bill off on 'friends'.
The other option is to go get a job thats pays more or if your a dole blugger GO GET A JOB.
From what you said in your original post it is clear your on your own and living to excess.
Don't go out to eat, and don't eat or buy any processed food whatsoever - including sauces etc.
Rice and pasta are incredibly cheap, and they will stretch a fresh salmon steak to do three meals. A cheap can of tomatoes makes a very cheap base for a sauce.
If you're that hard up, drop the alcohol entirely, it's incompatible with your body building regime anyway.
And are you serious about the alcohol? Even just $200 a month is more than one jumbo bottle of Smirnoff every weekend. I don't know about you but even 2-4 shots every weekend totally destroys my energy level for a little bit over a week, let alone weight lifting. I would think that much alcohol would interfere with your weight training much more than eating out (at decent places).
Strength training = NO ALCOHOL (well let's be reasonable, maybe a beer a weekend but seriously, $200-$400 a month?)
Learn to "ultimate recycle" by donating used items to places like Goodwill - and shop there too! Look into freecycling. Learn to dumpster dive! You'd be surprised at what people throw away that can be turned into useful stuff and/or resold for profit. Its crazy - its the consumerist trap!
