I just came across this site, but in many ways we have been living this ‘challenge’ for the past 45 days anyways. My husband and I split our time between Canada and Australia.When in Aus (where we are now) we travel in our van, so our pantry isn’t large, and we really can’t stock up.We housesit (and eat from our pantry, when doing this)and camp while we are here. I have been keeping track of our grocery expenses.In Canada we eat very similar to this too.
We eat lots of great meals...roasts, stews,chili, rice/meat meals. Breakfast is cooked oatmeal, pancakes, bacon and eggs etc, lunches are usually leftovers, sandwiches, soups etc. I like to bake cakes, usually a basic scratch recipe, and adding fruits, spices, etc to change flavours.We buy lots of fresh fruits/vegs..rarely canned, and never frozen.
In 45 days we spent
=$273.28 food
This works out to be $3.04 each, per day.
Welcome aboard Kathryn. Good to have you on board.
We deal with Common Sense around here and it sounds like you have it in spades.
Now you have to update your Homepage and include photos of your travels Down Under. We love that kind of stuff here.
LOL
That’s pretty damn good!
