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.
It’s Day 5, time for lunch and have you noticed? No leftovers yet. It would be so easy at this point – day 5 – to feed on leftovers, I am after all a leftovers kind of guy for lunch, but I’m trying to stay away from doing that to demonstrate that you can have a variety of foods, conveniently, inexpensively on a $50 a week budget. So if you’re into the flavor of Buffalo Chicken, this lunch dish is for you. Shredded Buffalo Chicken served over a bed of hash browns with cheese and topped with green onion. It’s another dose of YUM! This meal cost me about $2.50 and just 15 minutes to prepare. This puts me a bit over budget for the day, so I’ll have to get a bit creative with the evening meal. TIP: Canned chicken is a MUST HAVE in your pantry.
Meal totals for the day:
Breakfast: $2.40
Lunch: $2.50
Cumulative total for the Challenge:
Day 1: $7.25 Day 2: $6.90Day 3: $6.55Day 4: $4.21Day 5: $4.90 (breakfast & lunch)
Grand Total: $29.81 so far and under budget! I’ve been eating well, dining in, dining out, burgers, Chicken Teriyaki, breakfast sandwiches…. And there’s been no Ramen on the menu! For now anyway….
