This food cost is 7 days for my husband but only 4 days for me. I was with my brother's family this weekend, and they graciously fed me. Cost per person per day is $4.63.
Also, since I am getting back home late tonight and won't have time to cook this week, I am having frozen lunches this week. We are maximizing our grocery budget and wasting as little food as possible by eating all of our leftovers from last week before this week begins.
Menu:
Friday lunch (Dave)- pizza buffet with his dad ($7). He didn't eat dinner because he was full of pizza. (My cost for food this week includes this $7).
Saturday lunch (Dave)- sandwich and vegies
Saturday dinner (Dave)- steak, Brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes
Sunday lunch (Dave)- leftovers from last week
Sunday dinner (Dave)- leftovers from steak dinner
Weekday breakfasts- toast, peanut butter, banana, milk
Weekday lunches (Dave)- sandwich with baby carrots
Weekday lunches (me)- frozen Healthy Choice lunch
