Friday was back to work, relatively calm, but a start of me trying to prepare lunch for the day beforehand. I brought in the cilantro chicken from Wednesday, some lettuce and tomatoes and made a fresh salad when lunchtime rolled around. I was still yearning for a little more sustenance, so I broke down a bough a small New England clam chowder from the cafeteria – a measly $1.85. Lunch was both cheap and rather healthy.
Dinner was not so successful, at least in the healthy sense. I helped the boyfriend move in and unpack a bit, then we partook in the “traditional” first night in a new place meal – take out Chinese. The boyfriend treated, but I put in about $4 for the crab rangoon I had a craving for.
Overall damage: In all, I spent $5.85 on lunch and dinner, and incorporated some leftovers and the cheap produce I bought at the market.
What I could have saved on: The crab rangoon was unnecessary, but c’mon, who can resist those? Seriously.
