Last night's <$4 dinner for two:
$1.99 bunch of asparagus
$1.00 instant rice (portion of box)
Tonight will be equally, if not more, glamorous: 69 cent box of store-brand macaroni and cheese and hot dogs (no buns).
Spent about $40 on Wednesday at the grocery store - mainly milk, lunch meat, soups, and canned goods. Still with substantial leftovers from our first shopping trip, this should be enough to last us well into next week.
It is difficult not ordering some appetizers or drinks at our Tuesday night trivia or stop for Chinese food. Such a craving for House of Wong right now. But, the challenge is going well. We're still alive, which is definitely a good thing. More thoughts and updates in our next post.
So, have either of you lost weight?
ReplyDeleteNice blog so far. I was wondering how many calories you are eating a day? More specifically, the amount of macronutrients and micronutrients you eat in a day. It would be interesting to see how close you are to getting the RDVs of fat, carbs, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Or if you have to supplement with a multivitamin because I imagine it's pretty hard to eat a variety of nutrient dense foods on a low budget.
