Week Four

This week the gf and I grabbed a friend and headed to the Santa Monica farmer's market, one of the largest in LA.

We spent $30 and got:
1. 1 lb of baby potatoes
2. 3 pack of strawberries
3. a bundle of broccoli
4. 2 tomatoes
5. bundle of radishes
6. bag of lettuce
7. 4 Asian cucumbers
8. bag of dried fruit and nuts

The strawberries were the most expensive item by far, at $10. We also stopped at a Japanese grocery store and got some organic noodles for $5.

Today I stopped at Trader Joe's and got a 1/2 gallon of vanilla soy milk and two boxes of organic quinoa for $12. Leaving us only $3 for the rest of the week. The tomato selection at the Santa Monica market was pretty slim, so I plan to go to the Wednesday Santa Monica farmer's market to get more.

I don't have a budget for eating out, as the gf and I have been trying to stay in and make our meals in an effort to save money. But last night we were invited out with my softball team and spent $25. I don't plan on creating an Eating Out Budget, because we don't do it often. Nor will I include eating out in our monthly food budget.
