Yesterday I decided to issue a small challenge to myself and anyone else wishing to join in.

Can you eat for a week on just $50?

Breaking it down by the day, that’s about $7.14 per day or $2.38 per meal.

Here’s the second meal, Day 1, lunch:  Meatballs & marinara baby!  The crock pot is a Bachelor on the Cheap best friend!  For lunch today I thoroughly enjoyed some meatballs and marinara. This dish cost me about $2.50 to prepare and it was DELICIOUS!  I also enjoyed some more of the jalapeno bread w/cheese that I baked the day before.  Hint:  Buy a bag of flour and you can create and achieve, flour and eggs are MUST have items in the bachelor’s kitchen, even if you don’t cook!……  TIP:  If you’ve built up your pantry like I’ve suggested, you can make some great meals on the whim and on the Bachelor Cheap!

Cumulative total for the day:  

Breakfast:  $2Lunch:  $2.50

Total:  $4.50

One more meal to go, can I keep it under $2.88 and still hit goal for the day?

$pend Wisely My Friends…
