Like I said I would do, I'm making a habit of going to my local market on my way home since it is right on the path from the train to my house.
Today I purchased:
Green Onions - $0.66 for 6
Romaine Lettuce - $1.49 for two heads
Sara Lee Ham - $2.07 ($3.99/lb on sale)
Kayem Roast Beef - $2.54 ($4.99/lb on sale)
Goya Dried Kidney Beans - $1.49 (1 lb bag)
Plum Tomatoes - $1.17 ($1.29/lb)
Bananas - $1.50 ($0.69/lb)
Green Beans - $1.15 ($2.49/lb)
Boar's Head Pepper Jack Cheese - $5.24 ($4.99/lb)
1 Lemon - $0.40 ea
With tax, my bill came to $18.37
I recently discovered the Food Network show $10 Dinners with Melissa D'Arabian. The show she was airing was called "Frugal French." So I decided to pick up some things to make Salad Nicoise. I already have tuna, eggs, oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, some olives, and some dried thyme (gonna have to work with dried). Let's see if I can make this dinner for 4 for $10. We'll have to have it twice this week, but that's OK.
In the meantime, I got some sandwich meat and cheese from the deli. I love going to the deli counter because it makes me feel old fashioned, sort of like having your gas pumped for you. I always get what's on special, so it's a surprise what lunch meat or cheese we'll have in the house every other week.
I came home and made a sandwich. I was hungry and cranky and now I feel better. This is how much it cost.
Ham Sandwich
Ham - $0.38
Cheese - $0.18
Arnold Sandwich Thins - $0.14 (bought at the bread outlet)
Guesstimate on mayo and mustard $0.05 (this is probably a high guesstimate)
Total for sandwich $0.75
Less cranky, but still want something else to eat...
