August is approaching in a few days and I’d like to get started on this so I went to the store tonight. What I didn’t remember at the time was that this weekend I have a wedding and a guest in town, and starting the day after the wedding I am dog-sitting for a few days so I won’t be able to make meals for myself. I’ll still be eating healthy and rather inexpensively during the dog sitting by going to the store to buy a salad or something. So, this week will be my test week and will become part of my pre-existing list for the first week I actually do this.
1 can La Preferida refried beans $1.19
Hillshire Farms lower sodium honey ham $3.49
1 lb ground sirloin $5.35
3x Granny Smith apples $2.71
1x broccoli head $0.89
2lb peeled baby carrots $2.25
Salad bar (lettuce salad with chicken) $3.90
Sargento pepperjack slices $3.19
Half-dozen large eggs $0.99
Total: $24.69
These ingredients will be used to use up some of my pre-existing items and leftovers and will carry over to actual weeks of this experiment.
