Default What's the last thing you ate and how much did it cost?

I'm wondering if this little game will help me eat a little better if I know I have to write what I ate and how much it cost each time I come here. I'm not starting off on a good foot....

Ice-cream with a peanut butter fudge topping: $1.19

What about you?

A piece of chocolate cake that Dh won in a fundraiser cake walk...cost me nothing, but I think he paid $20 for it--the money went to help provide Christmas gifts for low income families.

For lunch today I had Pizza Hut fast-food - pan cheese pizza and breadsticks - $5.

Leftover fried rice, dunno how much, but couldn't be much, though it was brown rice. DH is constantly trying to get me to switch to white.

The last thing I ate was a mini baby ruth bar. The entire bag was $2. I am not going to calculate how much each baby ruth was, sorry.

PP - brown rice is healthier for you!

Creamy peanut butter on a toasted english muffin.
Probably about .25. Don't ask me calculate the energy costs from the toaster, though.

Muffins for breakfast. I make them in bulk, super healthy, and use leftover carrots, etc. Cost about 50 cents each. But gourmet coffee beans, cost, well, hubbie buys it and I probably don't want to know!

Yeah, after those pickles I got hungry too!

We had spaghettti last night. A bi-monthly staple in our house. $2.00 worth of ground beef, (I cooked a $4 package and froze the rest for another meal.) A $.79 can of Hunts and maybe $.21 for the small amount of pasta I cooked last night. We ate half of the sauce and froze the rest for another meal.

So the total for the meal was $3.00 and will be eaten twice. $1.50...pretty cheap!

Greek food for free (with a 2 drink minimum purchase) so it came out to 15$ - not cheap, but not bad considering I got to eat exotic food and drink for only $15!!!
