Breakfast: Confession, I totally binged this morning. I knew I wanted to make dinner for my roommates and that they probably wouldn't appreciated ham zucchini surprise so going to the grocery store was imminent. I splurged and had cold cereal - a big bowl of multi-grain Cheerios. I was impressed that they weren't stale, I guess living in a super dry climate has its advantages. I've been avoiding cold cereal because it requires more milk than the dash that goes into oatmeal. So alas there went the remainder of Raquel's milk donation. ($0).
Lunch: I didn't have my cereal til noon so I got to skip this one. (0 calories and $0)
Snack: I went to the Mexican grocery store and saw that those liquid yogurt drinks were on sale so I had one ($.69)
On the note of grocery shopping I couldn't figure out how to put in the cost because most things aren't consumed in one meal. So I'll just put the total spent in here and we'll see how long it lasts. I have high hopes, this is the first time I've been shopping since November 17th. ($27.68)
Dinner: I made lasagna to share with my roommate. To make it balanced we also shared an orange. My body doesn't quite know what to do with a normal meal. ($0)
I've decided to start blogging my eating adventures. Mostly because cooking has become increasingly boring lately and this will add some excitement to my life. I'm not that girl who shares what she eats because I have an eating disorder. I don't believe in dieting. I think diets, like budgets, are lame and evil. On that financial note, some may consider me cheap and wonder why I can't afford regular food, this has nothing to do with that. Really I am just trying to be more resourceful so my money can be used for more important things. I decided to put cost next to my meals. If it is something I have in the pantry it's free which I realize isn't super accurate but going forward, if I grocery shop, I'll consider those costs.
