afterthoughts:
These last two shopping trips were interesting in that the food purchased wasn't necessarily just for our consumption and I thought it would be interesting to make it part of the price breakdown this week. You may notice the different colors above. The
orange reflects items purchased for a meal cooked for 9 people (Tuesday Night Group // ~$3.00/person) and the
purple reflects items for a partially purchased meal cooked for 20 people (Ronald McDonald House // ~$1.53/person -- this is not a true reflection because K. contributed items not calculated in the totals). We still have quite a bit of leftover food items from
last grocery report, and there were even leftover products from these larger meals we cooked (i.e. the honey, spinach, grated cheese, and leftover TNG meal). I was initially horrified after checking out yesterday, but it's good for me to analyze our purchases like I am -- with this report in mind, we actually spent +/- $63 on food for two weeks for just our household. Amazing! I have noticed that I have become more aware of my spending in both planning and on-site shopping. My brother is coming home tonight, so it will be interesting how our grocery reports will fluctuate with his large appetite. I'm considering making homemade freezer foods for him so he can easily heat the items up later on. He knows how to cook but is very lazy about doing so, and I don't really want to buy a bunch of freezer food due to the cost and nutritional reasons (splurged this week on the pizza per J.'s request). Any ideas?
Below are a few pictures of the food being put to good use!
