I hadn’t realized how little I eat when I spend the weekend at home. I wound up eating only two meals on Saturday, neither of which were very photogenic.<\/p>\n

Breakfast<\/u>
\nI started the day microwaving a half-cup of Quick Grits ($0.08), and to provide them with a little extra flavor I topped them with a pat of butter ($0.09) and a handful sharp cheddar cheese (~$0.50).<\/p>\n

With the food I drank a glass of milk from a gallon I had purchased last weekend. The gallon of milk cost me $3.50, so my sixteen-ounce glass cost me $0.44.<\/p>\n

Total cost = $1.10<\/i><\/p>\n

Lunch<\/u>
\nSkipped! (a much needed savings)<\/p>\n

Total cost = $0.00<\/i><\/p>\n

Dinner<\/u>
\nThe original plan was to meet up with a buddy of mine for dinner and drinks. That fell through, so I found myself home again. Not being in the mood to cook I went the “bachelor” route by reheating some frozen pizza from a pie I had cooked up last weekend and drink a few beers with it.<\/p>\n

The two slices of pizza came from a frozen pie purchased for $8.95 and yielded eight slices. Therefore my two slices cost me $2.24.
\nThe beer were already in my refrigerator as well, and the six-pack from which they came cost me $7.99. Therefore my two beers cost me $2.66<\/p>\n

Total cost = $4.90<\/i><\/p>\n

Tale Of The Tape<\/u>
\nThe day’s total cost = $6.00
\nThe week’s total cost = $26.18<\/p>\n
