I didn’t have a chance to make dinner on Tuesday evening, so that gave me no leftovers for lunch on Wednesday. Since I always choose to sleep rather than prepare lunch in the morning, I had to go up to the cafeteria to get some food. I ended up eating a grilled potrobella sandwich, which is one of the legitimately good meals found in the cafeteria, so I had to partake. That meal set me back $3.83.
The evening was a different story – I actually cooked! (The first time this week!) I remembered that I had bought some fresh vegetables the previous week, and was happy to find they were still good several days later. I defrosted some chicken breasts and broiled them with a cilantro ‘marinade’, and cooked up the remaining rappi and bok choi that I had. I didn’t have to buy anything new for this meal, so I’m marking it as a $0 expense.
Overall damage: $3.83 for the sandwich, and nothing for dinner. Dinner was a plus because that left me with leftovers for a lunch during the week.
What I could have saved on: Again, soup was an option at the cafeteria – a measly $2.00. Overall, though, I think I spent a reasonable amount of money for the day.
