Counting Pennies

I spent some more of my $15 budget yesterday:

$1 bread

$1 bag of mixed frozen veggies

$1.30 dozen eggs

$1 tomato sauce

$1 large bag of pasta (I’m guessing about 3lbs)

I ran into a lot of good deals at this one particular market (the pasta is a good example). I’ve spent a total of $12.68 so far and I’m now beginning to think that $15 is actually quite a generous amount of money for a week’s menu. My meals have been ok so far but that might have something to do with the fact that I don’t mind repetition at all. It also has much to do with the fact I’m not counting in things I already had at home, such as coffee. I NEED coffee everyday so this would definitively be part of my food budget if I didn’t have it. I’m finishing the $15 week but trying it again later on with an even lower budget.
