My First Breakfast, Lunch


21.5 cents. And yes, we're counting half cents. I had, probably not coincidentally, a serving (a full one) of oatmeal with some cinnamon and a banana, same meal as Wendi (just twice as big). Unlike Wendi, I'm fine with oatmeal. This is actually the same breakfast I used to have on one of my health kicks a few years back. I could easily do this all week. I got 7 bananas for 90 cents, so they're about 13 cents each, and my serving of oatmeal was 8.5 cents. I'm guessing Wendi found some bananas for cheaper than I did...


Today we had a luncheon at work where my boss ordered in sandwiches and chips from Jason's deli. 2 meals down, 21.5 cents spent. I usually don't even eat a breakfast as big as I did this morning, so I wasn't super hungry. But I utilized a skill I picked up during my super-broke college days: when you can eat for free, eat like a bear storing up for hibernation.
