To the market we go...


I contemplated how to report money spent. Cost per day? Cost per meal? With or without the cost of ingredients I already have (such as spices)? In the end, I've decided to report simply what I spend on the day I spend it. Meaning, by trip to the grocery store or restaurant. My first outing was yesterday, I went to New Seasons Market, a local store here in Portland. Here's what I spent:

Bob's Red Mill bread flour (5 lbs): $3.99
25.4 fl oz olive oil: $8.99
Head of garlic: $0.96
1/2 lb bulk spinach: $3.29
Tillamook Italian cheese: $3.99
3 packets yeast: $2.39
16 oz whole wheat fusilli: $2.49
Pop Secret microwave popcorn: $2.99
Alpen Rose half and half: $1.19
15 oz frozen berries: $3.99
1/4 lb kalamata olives (from the olive bar): $2.30
1 lemon: $0.64
Head of broccoli: $1.53
2 tomatoes: $4.07
Reusable bag refund: -$0.05
Total: $42.76
