I was very tempted to buy a bunch of top ramen but I wanted to avoid food with high sodium. It looks like I will be having tuna and egg sandwiches for lunch and egg noodles for dinner the next two days. On to Day 1!

Prep for Day 1
Tomorrow is Day 1 of the Food Stamp Challenge. To prep for that, I went to Pacific Market to shop for food. The weekly budget for the challenge is $37.25. I found myself wanting to buy the food items that I want to buy but had to hold back and look for Plan B after adding the cost of my initial items into my calculator. I must say this shopping trip was very difficult. The thought that I had the whole time was.. "Why didn't I look for coupons??" At the end, I spent a total of $15.18 on my first grocery shopping trip.

I also went to Pacific Supermarket (on Alemany Blvd) yesterday afternoon after going to Safeway. I loaded up on bananas, strawberries, potatoes, broccoli, milk, and eggs. The eggs, which were the same ones pictured above, were only $1.49!
ReplyDeleteI paid $2.50! Guess I better go to the one on Alemany!
