Day 2 - Quickly failing at eating on $100 a Month



We try to make sure that we are not leaving ourselves hungry but at the same time trying to control cost.  We are so far failing miserably.  For breakfast, we had Oatmeal Crisp cereal with kiwi and pineapple.  Lunch is mushroom soup with broccoli.  Dinner is chicken stir-fry with cauliflower, onions, carrots.  But unfortunately couldn’t resist to have a bag of Lay’s chips.  Total cost of food consumed is $15.07 and here’s the cost breakdown:
