I would say 40-60 dollars a week cooking for one. This week I have probably spent less. Some weeks I spend more depending on what I plan on making. When I entertain guests the bill rises exponentially, as I dont charge my friends to eat over ..
Heres some typical days and costs for anyone whos wondering. (this is for making at home, not ordering out)
Today:
Breakfast : 2 waffles (approx. cost .50-.75)
Lunch: Snacked on some Synders of Hanover Honey Mustard Preztels (busy day... cost. 1.00)
dinner: Hot Sausage Stacked Sandwhich (hot sausage (1.00) cheese (.25?) fresh cut cabbage slaw (.35/head) 1 white potato (under .50), 1/2 tomato (1.00?) (fresh italian bread 1.25 loaf (2 slices...40 cents?)
so one day was under 5 bucks.
Thursday
Dinner : Cheddar Burgers for myself and a friend yesterday (with kaiser rolls) somethin like 3.00
Lunch: Had imitation crab salad for lunch (2.00-3.00)
So another 5 dollar day.
Wednesday
Dinner : Tilapia (3.59) w/ Sushi, (8 rolls, approx 2.00) served on rice (.30?) plus the fruity salsa (tomatoes, onion, cilantro, guava nectar,garlic) about 2.00)
Lunch : chicken club sandwhich (approx. 2.00)
Theres a 10 dollar day cuz I got into dinner alittle.
I normally skip a meal, breakfast or lunch, never dinner.
I average about 7 bucks a day Id say, give or take. Some days Ill spend upwards of 30-50 bucks on a meal though if Im into it. I havent been going out to eat much recently either, which keeps costs low. Im about to move so I'm doing my best to keep costs low.
