Nibbles at Geneviève's baby shower
After champs and nibbles, we headed to the bowling alley. This sure beats silly baby shower games! Beer at the bowling alley - $5 including tip Nibbles and another beer at the bowling alley - $6 including tip
Then it was back home to Geneviève and Nic's place for a delicious buffet and much merrymaking. Money spent on food today: $11
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?
