Tuesday: Lunch: $5.49 Regular Great Western sandwich from Pavillions Deli. $0.25 Dr. Pepper from Company-Subsidized Vending Machine. Total cost for lunch: $5.74.
Monday (from memory): Lunch: $8.85 for soup & sandwich at Panera. Dinner: $7.50 for a carnitas burrito and large Horchata at Taqueria De Anda. Total Cost for the day: $16.35. Glad I'm not on this challenge, I'd have less than $4.00 left for the entire week, and it's only the first day! Yikes!
So some of our employees started taking part in the SNAP food challenge. Live off of $20 / week food budget and blog about it. I decided not to participate this time around, but instead am going to record my (normal) food costs for the week in support of my coworkers who are making the sacrifice.
