I think this is exceptionally expensive, far outside our means as us guys dont have jobs currently. From this situation, and given that I lived well enough on $100/month for groceries last year going solo, I have presented myself a challenge: $20.<br /><br />That is, I just went out and got $20 worth of groceries. Starting tomorrow, I will only eat those groceries and see how far I can stretch it, eating comfortably yet cheaply.<br /><br />This blog will chroniclize this endevour. If it goes well, I may stick to it until I do get a full time job. Atleast once a day I will post what I ate that day and other details I find interesting.<br /><br />Here is what I shall be starting with:<br /><br />Instant rice - $2.82<br />beef ramen - $1.98<br />brown sugar - $0.92<br />white bread - $0.96<br />1/2 gallon milk - $1.48<br />instant oatmeal - $1.98<br />cherry drink mix - $1.78<br />Balogna - $2.00<br />peanut butter - $1.83<br />Mac N Cheese - $0.78<br />Eggs - $1.12<br />sliced cheese - $1.18<br /><br />SubTotal: $18.83<br />6% tax: $1.13<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Total: $19.96</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1489174150646847005-5366941287145878869?l=20challenge.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Charles Polyakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09349160080524866638noreply@blogger.com0
