few recipes, and while I am the great substitutioner... I thought adhering to the original recipe in a few cases would be nice. Also, we had a few other things to purchase as well.
The total was $64.00. (I am obviously rounding)
I lost my reciept between thursday and now, so I will only be able to give a good summary of what was purchased.
First off - bread and tortillas. As fun as it is to make these from scratch - it takes a lot of time. With my work schedule switching to full days and just generally be "too lazy" I decided we could invest a little here.
Chicken - 5lbs. Being the good ol' American's that we are - this is more or less a staple in our diet.
Steak - something I really really wanted for the meal on Saturday.
Ingredients for Cat Cora's Grapefruit Ambrosia
- Included Heavy Cream, a Grapefruit, and Bing Cherries... I substituted the pineapple with watermelon - and had most of everything else around the house. We also picked up Cottage Cheese, Diced Chilies, Black Beans (dried), 2 lbs Cauliflower, and a number of other things.
The total here brings us to having just over $5 left for the entire time remaining. One Week. Maybe I should call this $5 week?

It sounds like you got good stuff.
Good luck with the last $5.22!
Whoops - that "anonymous" was me. Sorry. Spontaneous finger twitch.
I was going to ask if you felt that your pantry and freezer were emptier now that you are approaching the end of the experiment.
@Cathy - Hey good question, they are in fact emptier - however they still don't look like my mom's (that's empty!). Anyway, I was thinking of making a photo op of it at the end, but it wouldn't be any good without a before.
