I told you it would probably be awhile before I got back :P Okay, so where am I at with my "Clean Eating" plan. Well, I'm not going to lie. The first two weeks were easy because I still have a ton of processed food in my fridge and freezer. But lets look at what I bought:
From Walmart. The thing in the back is my new compost bucket. I'm very excited about it :) This is my first experience with Greek yogurt, it's not bad. I have to sweeten my smoothies with honey but it's okay. In the front, bread from a new German bakery in town. So yummy! Total: $18.56 (for food only)
Last Sunday I went to the Cambridge Farmers Market and picked up a few items. Local honey for $5, mushrooms-$3, bananas-$1.27 and the items wrapped in brown paper: honey ham lunch meat-$.98, feta-$3, havarti-$2.50. The other items were from Vincenzos, a local high quality grocery store. Beans-$1.64, roma tomatoes-$.70, basil and rosemary-$1.39 each. Total: $20.87
Not pictured is the $12.76 I spent at Longo's on salad fixings. In some ways this doesn't count because I did it so I wouldn't have to go out to eat which would have been a lot more than that. I'll count it though because I still have some of that food.
I also spent $4 this last week at the campus farmers market. That's a total of $62.84 in two weeks. Not horrible but I think I can make do with less. I've been eating well though :)
April will be different because I'm not in class. Being home means I'll have more time to prepare food which should be good. It may also mean that I eat more though. We'll see :)
