Yamada Food Stamp Challenge - Monday > Rexroad.com

I think Yamada did a better job shopping than I did. Here is her report.

Here is my report for Monday:

At noon Monday, I went to the SoDa (south Davis) Safeway and purchased the following:

1 – 4 pack of Maruchan Ramen - $1.25*
1 - 36 pack of Mission Corn Tortillas - $1.79
2 Whole frying chickens* (BOGO), $5.85 (second free lesser value, $5.54)
4 lbs of bananas* (ripe in a bag) @ $.36 per pound - $1.57
1 bunch green onions - $.49
1 –pk Nasoya tofu* - $1.50
1 – pk Safeway frozen vegetables (edamame-green soybeans, mushrooms, and green beans)

Total: $14.45 ($.55 in change for the rest of the week)

I wanted to purchase a large container of peach yogurt, but the cost (I think it was $1.79) put me over the $15.00 limit, so I had to put it back.

I do not eat breakfast. I ate a banana when I came home to put the groceries away and drank filtered tap water.

Then, I went to Woodland and worked until about 6 p.m., then went on a few errands (no night meeting tonight!), and came home to start cooking for the rest of this week.

I am right now roasting chicken number one, using the seasoning pack from one of the Maruchan Ramen noodles.

Since there was no cooked food available yet, I ate another banana and drank more filtered tap water. I do not feel hungry right now.

I do miss my coffee!

When the chicken is done, I will make soup noodles with the ramen, chicken, and a sprinkling of the frozen vegetables. That will be dinner for tonight.

Go Mariko! Now that is much closer to a balanced diet! Still will be light on fiber, fruits and veggies but much closer!
