My goal for 2013 is to spend less than $1 per day on food. The amount does not include garden, chicken and bee expenses or food that I buy locally. I'm also not counting food from parties, free food I eat at work, or food someone happens to give me.
Here is my list so far:
| Salt | $2.68 |
| Pepper | $1.48 |
| Apple Pie Spice | $3.48 |
| Vanilla | $6.88 |
| Brown Gravy Powder | $4.28 |
| Poultry Gravy Powder | $4.28 |
| Yeast (2lb) | $4.68 |
| Rice (20lb) | $15.88 |
| Brown Sugar (sm.pkg) | $1.78 |
| Butter (16sticks) | $9.98 |
| Coffee (1615.5g) | $20.98 |
| Canola Oil | $9.88 |
| Sugar (10lb) | $5.89 |
| House Autry | $3.18 |
| Flour (5lb) | $2.44 |
| $3.78 | |
| $3.78 | |
| Total | $105.33 |
The bottom list includes items I will have to buy again at some point this year. Unless I can find a local source for butter, I will have to buy more from a grocery store. I have figured I can have about 85 pots of coffee with the amount I have. More than likely, I will eat more than 10lbs of sugar this year (the average American consumes 150lbs per year). House Autry Seafood mix is the brand of breadding that I like for fried squash and trout. There are cheaper versions of all the items on this list and this project can be accomplished for less, but I prefer certain brands over others. For example, I usually purchase King Arthur's flour which is more expensive than other flours, but I like the fact that it is an employee-owned small company.
