It was raining all day, so I spent the day cleaning out the hall closet and cooking. I was supposed to go out to Spasm for the Halloween party tonight, but I was too tired to go out again and maybe just a little to comfortable at home.
Toast and orange water at home
Tuna sandwich
Ham sandwich
Tomato juice
Jamie Oliver's chicken roasted in milk, roasted carrots, mashed potatoes
I am going to have to look up that recipe. I have been stalking your blog for a couple of weeks now and it has been interesting. I started a blog, just for me and my family, about what we spend our money on after reading your blog and it has been very interesting project.
From August 24th, 2009 to August 24th 2010, I photographed everything I ate and made notes of the cost.
This included all the food and drink costs for the year.
And yes, I counted booze.
Grand total: $10 295.92
What is this blog about?
This is not a food blog.
Well, it kind of is. But mainly, it’s about the amount of money I use to feed myself, day after day. Why? Because I just don’t know. I (almost) never check prices when I buy food. I love to cook and I can easily feed six guests for less than 30 bucks (wine is extra, people), but I also spend ungodly amounts of money on grocery, then throw away a fifth of it. It has never been so easy to buy good food, but it often comes at a price. And it is even easier to buy cheap, unhealthy junk food that has an undeniable cost on our health. Where does my food budget go? How do the choices I make impact my budget, my health and the health of the planet?
