Quantcast Eating On A Budget: I couldn't stand it any longer!

The 411 - The 90 Day Experiment

After reading Hungry for a Month, I decided that I would embark on a 90-day social experiment. In which I only spend $30/month on food. The only exception will be things that are freely available to the average person (salt taken from restaurants, ketchup packets from McDonald's, potluck dinners, etc). Buying in advance is fine, but at the end of the month, it all has to add up to $30 or less. I may continue this extreme budget, after the experiment is over. However, I will see how well I did and how much healthier I am come April 6, 2007, when this experiment officially ends.

NOTE: This blog is organized according to date, which means you’ll see the last day of this thing before the first. It might make more sense if you start from the beginning: January 6, 2007. - Which can be done by gooing to the archive section in the sidebar.

I couldn't stand it any longer!

I couldn't stand it any longer! I had to have meat. Price Chopper was having a massive meat sale today and tomorrow. So I picked up a package of hamburger at $1.48/lb. The total on the family package was $6.62. However, I stayed under the $6 I had remaining for this month, because I had an associate coupon for $2 off. With the hamburger buns I picked up at Aldi's for 69 cents. All together I spent $5.31. Now, I just have to remember to freeze a portion of the hamburger so it doesn't go bad.

I fried up my 1st hamburger this morning before going to bed.
