Woops. I kind of forgot to update my blog about day 5! So Friday was the last day of the challenge and here’s how I did:
$0.50 – popcorn
$0.18 – can of soda
$2.75 – bubble tea
$2.00 – homemade korean curry and side dishes
$0.20 – fruits and corn syrup glazed potato
$5.63 – total
$32.36 – 5 day total
I finished strong with a dollar or so to spare.what made this challenge possible for me is being able to buy food at bulk prices and sharing meals with people. (more…)
So I almosted f-ed up the whole challenge. My housemates decided to make roti canai!!! It was so delicious.. but I had already make pork kebabs.
(more…)
So yesterday was crazy. I wanted to order so many things like Roti Canai, chinese food, cheese ragoon…but I managed to control myself. While my friends were eating Noodle Gourmet (popular chinese food delivery place), I was eating homemade spring rolls and pasta.
Breakfast:
$0.50 – homemade soup
Lunch/Snack:
$0.61 – 2 slices of bacon + 1 egg
$1.00 – handful of cheese nips
Dinner:
$0.36 – 2 cans of coke
$1.00 – 2 spring rolls
$2.59 – $5.18 for 2 – pasta with sauce, 1# of ground beef, and peas
$.50 – handful of grapes
Total: 6.56
It isn’t so bad.. but I have a feeling my costs would be higher if I didn’t buy in bulk or if I had actually follow the rules of the challenge and bought new food. I think when I move in June, I will restart this challenge but make it a little harder.. maybe 10 dollars a day for two people
