Still going strong with this thing, although not as strong with the blog postings (sorry Christine). This weekend was pretty tough. I was over at Carin’s house last night and tonight and Carin would not allow her parents to feed us. Rather, we ate rice for dinner both nights. Yesterday’s rice wasn’t bad but today was the leftovers from yesterday so the rice had hardened a bit and was much more difficult to put away than usual. I’m not looking forward to more rice tomorrow although maybe having some fresh stuff will make everything better; we’ll see. In any event, I’m a little riced-out you could say, so tomorrow for lunch will most likely be Ramon noodles if anything.
This experiment is nearly half way over and I still have half of my money so I’m pretty much on target. My goal will probably be to hit the grocery store for one or two small things (under $5 total) this week to hold me off for another 10 days or so. Then, when I have about a week left, I will splurge with the remaining money and try to get some sort of flavor back into my diet during the home stretch.
I know I’m starting to complain a bit more about this but I’m definitely not regretting doing it. I am saving a lot of money and gaining a greater appreciation for the food I have been blessed with but have always taken advantage of.
