I am incredibly proud of myself for living on $15 worth of groceries this week. Last week I purchased at Fresh n Easy:

2 bags of spinach

5 chicken boobs

1lb ground turkey

Artichokes

Tomatoes

A red onion

and at home I have some frozen tilapia, which is the only thing that I wouldn’t consider a pantry staple. Otherwise, I’ve collected so many things in my pantry like herbs, bread crumbs, rice/pasta, etc etc, that I’ve gotten to the point where I only need to buy the fresh groceries every week and maybe the occasional replacement of something like olive oil. Man this feels liberating. I seriously feel like my mom now, who has this down like a pro. I didn’t even have to go grocery shopping this week (I spent $30 last week).

Of course, I did go to SLO this weekend and drop plenty of dough on beer at Frog and Peach and Firestone sandwiches, but whatever! I was on vacation. And I probably would have done that regardless, especially back in college.

Hoping this will help free up some money for trips to San Diego and Vegas and other fun things :)
