I continue to keep this blog, barely, logging my daily food intake and expenditures. I blew my budget out of the water in the first month. Since then, honestly, I haven't really been trying. Because what's the point? I don't want to quit, so I keep going. But I don't really have a purpose anymore. No goal. The only real enjoyment I get from this is cooking and sharing recipes and photos. I've learned the cheap foods are foods I don't like to eat day after day. And the cheap grocery stores have crappier produce. It's summer in Portland, the best produce is available at the Farmers Markets, and it's pricier.
It seems I either need to euthanize this blog, or redirect. Cooking with a new vegetable each time? Or new ingredient? I don't know, I need to think about it some. For now, signing off.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I enjoy reading your blog. But I certainly understand what you mean, having already blown your budget, perhaps it feels like a "failed" experiment. I don't think it's failed at all. Maybe the original food budget was too low for what you wanted, with some eating in restaurants, etc. But did you know what you were spending on food before the blog? I'd say it's a success in raising your awareness, discovering new recipes, etc. I think there's nothing wrong with stopping if you feel like you've gotten the answers you wanted. I've enjoyed it a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri! It makes me feel good that you followed my blog. It definitely raised my awareness, that's for sure!
