So today is the first day of our social experiment. I'm trying to prove that I can spend not a lot of money and feed everyone to satisfaction and beyond.
For supper tonight we are having roast beef (on sale, I bought a nice big sirloin tip roast for under $6), roast potatoes, cabbage and gravy. I guesstimate the whole meal has cost me less than $10..which may sound a little extravagant, but let me explain: leftovers will feed us tomorrow. Cold meat and bubble and squeak, and there'll be plenty of it 'cos I'm cooking a ton of food today. I'm also making apple crisp for dessert - that was under $3 to make, and I think there'll be some of that left over as well. As far as beverages go; today I've had 2 cups of coffee, a glass of koolaide and as we speak I am enjoying a generic cola. The rest of the day I will either be drinking water or more koolaide.
I think I may end up losing some weight on this plan I've got going...I'm not sure that's a good thing though. Perhaps looking at what I consume daily will make me eat more and thereby gain some instead...either way, it's going to be an interesting couple of weeks.
