Below I have documented my food purchases for the week, totaling up to $104.00 (I lost track at some point, and I'm going for honesty.) Throughout the week I will recap what I'm cooking each and every meal, and will hopefully prove by the end of the week that it is possible to feed 2 grown adults on $100.
Stay tuned!
