To be honest, I can’t exactly calculate what I spent on food last week. I mean, I can, but it would involve lots of measuring and probably some weighing, and it would certainly involve math. Though I do need to practice for the GRE (Shit! I need to practice for the GRE!) I’m not much in the habit of doing math. My math is more along the lines of “another half an onion” or “more cayenne pepper.” But, I am proud to say that save for a $10 supplemental fresh-veggie run, I’ve been able to live off of my combined first Costco and second commissary trips, which cost me $200 total and included booze, pet food, alcohol and most of what I need for Thanksgiving (which I’m not including in this project). I think other than those supplemental veggie runs, I’ll be able to live off of those staples for the next few weeks.
And now that I’m working outside of my apartment, I did something I’ve never done before: last night I made a week’s worth of lunches, so I’m not stuck downtown, starving and spending.
