This month I've challenged myself to survive off a $4/day grocery budget. You can read the overview of the challenge here.
Breakfast (8-10 am)
Coffee and Tea w/ milk, sugar
Total Cost: $0.42
I am really missing real cream today. It makes a huge difference on how much I enjoy my coffee each morning. I have been drinking a lot more tea vs coffee as a result (I find that I tea tastes better with milk). I want cream. Badly.
Lunch (2 pm)
Toast w/ Peanut Butter
Total Cost: $0.46
I was really craving toast with a little butter and honey, but I settled for peanut butter instead (more protein at least). Usually when I make peanut butter toast, I add a healthy portion of hemp hearts to the it for added protein. I'm really craving/missing some of my favourite foods today, that's for sure!
This recipe is one of Marc's favourite low cost recipes. We made 4 large servings, freezing 2 of the servings for a future meal. The only adaptation I made to fit within the budget was leaving out the worcestershire sauce just because I didn't have any. If I were to do this challenge again next month - both soya sauce and worcestershire sauce would definitely be at the top of my grocery list.
