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.
On my sister's recommendation I stole the title from Carrie Sun's blog on hospital eating .

Summer Splurge

Breakfast: Whenever I go home my mom loads my luggage with whatever granola bar type products they have expiring in their pantry.  I had something from that stash, I don't know really what it was. ($0)
Lunch: My New Mexican grandparents took me to their favorite New Mexican restaurant  - Fiesta. I actually think is the most Mexican New Mexican food I've had here.  Like they serve genuine refried beans. ($0)
Dinner: Lunch was huge so Heather and I walked to get fro yo. I wonder what % of my spending is on frozen yogurt.  ($3.26)

And since it's the end of summer I decided I should tally up my spending, maybe I shouldn't have it was $256. For 2.5 months so $100 a month and some of that was free vacation time.  So then I start to over think this spending thing and have to remind myself that much of this was spent on "memory making" and I have 5 jobs so I don't actually have to live like I'm homeless.  Do you like how much time I've spent justifying this?

Until May I had spent $316.59, so I'm at $572.59 for the year.
