Day 1

Well, so far OK.  Aaron just came home from work- and the first words out of his mouth were "I'm hungry."  He admitted that he forgot the instant coffee I bought so he had a cup of the pot at work- which costs $0.50.  I had my oatmeal for breakfast, no sugar, no cinnamon.  Aaron had a hard boiled egg and yogurt.  We each had a sandwich, a carrot and an apple.  I soaked the dried beans and am working on cooking dinner of beans and rice tonight.  We plan on having the same for breakfast and lunch tomorrow.  Maybe we need some more snacks. 
So far this is what we've spent for the day:
Egg- $0.78
Yogurt-$0.50
Oatmeal-$0.15
Coffee-$0.73
Carrots-$0.55
Apples-$0.96
Tofurky sandwiches with spinach-$1.87
Beans and rice with tomatoes and cayenne-$3.61
Total for Day 1: $8.65
Not bad, but I think we are both hungry I went to Yoga and Aaron is going for a run- we need more energy.  Perhaps more importantly I have been thinking about food, how much things cost and how to plan the next meal all day.
