I went to Costco today. My dad sent me a gift card so I could just go in and eat free samples. I was super excited about going and so this morning I made the trek to Costco in Garden Grove. It was a complete zoo, but I managed to get quite a few samples. I had 2 small pastries, a handful of corn chips, few bites of a salad with sesame dressing, and a piece of a cliff bar. I would've loved to have eaten more, but at least I had a little variety. I also bought a huge (10lb) bag of carrots for $4.29. I thought it was a good buy. I came home and divided up the carrots and I have 44 carrots of varying sizes, which means that each carrot is worth about $0.10. This is awesome! I had bought a bag of baby carrots a while ago and I always wanted more than a few. Now, I can have a whole carrot for $0.10, yay!
Last weekend, a friend of mine bought me some produce from the farmer's market. I've been eating just a little bit each day so that I can enjoy it for longer. Today, I used some of the cabbage to make a salad with. I made a bed of greens with cabbage and then chopped up a bit of a tomato and put it on top. Then I cooked up some ramen noodles, drained them, and piled them on top. I squeezed 1/4 of a lemon on top, and added some of the chili seasoning from the ramen package. It turned out pretty good, but it was really spicy. I think because cabbage is bitter on it's own when I added the chili seasoning it really spiced it up. I still ate it though. The spiciness forced me to drink 3 more glasses of water than I normally would have, so that's a bonus if nothing else is.
Here is what i spent on food today:
oatmeal- $0.07
slice of toast- $0.07
carrot- $0.10
ramen- $0.20
total- $0.44
