Happy Monday people!
As promised…… Jumping for joy over here people! With a little bit of hard work, planning and dedication I accomplished my goal of only spending $100 on food. More like $80, but I already had a couple of things that I needed.
Please keep in mind that I’m only feeding my mom, Ryan and myself for breakfast and lunch. Nolan, Luke and The Husband eat at school/work. Eating leftovers for lunch also helps with cost (cutting back on expenses, go me!).
You might be thinking, Wait a minute, there are seven days in a week so why only six meals? To answer that question, on Wednesdays we eat dinner at Church.
Find my receipts, what I bought, how much it cost below. Leaving you with about $20 to spend on little things you might need such as oil, seasoning, etc.
The only meals I will be eating the same of will be breakfast. I also realize I will need to buy more eggs, I will add that to the cost at the bottom!
