I admit I wasn’t ready for the beginning of this Seven Day Project. I had no recipes planned and no food purchased. I was going to have to rely on the kindness of what I had on hand.<\/p>\n

Breakfast<\/u>
\nBreakfast consisted of two Nature Valley Trail Mix Fruit and Nut Bars, purchased for $0.30 each from a co-worker. In addition to that I drank coffee that is provided for free by my employer.<\/p>\n

Total cost = $0.60<\/i><\/p>\n

Lunch<\/u>
\nLunch was another scrounge-and-eat affair. I usually keep a bag of white rice and some canned goods in my office for days on which I don’t want to go out and eat. I calculated the cost of a cup of dried white rice as $0.35, cooked up two cups, and then ate half of the cooked rice with a can of black beans which cost $0.70.<\/p>\n

With my meal I drank water.<\/p>\n

Total cost = $1.05<\/i><\/p>\n

I made a stop at Kroger<\/a> on my way home from the office.
\n\"Receipt<\/a>
\nRegardless, I went ahead and ate some of the food I had left over from the weekend, calculating the cost of the serving consumed based on the purchase price.<\/p>\n

Dinner<\/u>
\nI ate a cheese sandwich for dinner. The sandwich consisted of one-fourth of a loaf of bread I had purchased for $2 along with one-sixth of a wheel of brie I had purchased for $6.<\/p>\n

With my meal I drank water.<\/p>\n

Total cost = $1.50<\/i><\/p>\n

Tale Of The Tape<\/u>
\nThe day’s total cost = $3.15
\nThe week’s total cost = $3.15<\/p>\n
