I Spent $.83 On Food Yesterday
May 22, 2008
I guess I kind of cheated because some of the food was free. It’s not like I found some incredibly bargain somewhere or something.
Every once in a while – maybe once every three months – work will offer up a free lunch for employees. Today was BBQ chicken, with cornbread, corn, and potatoes.
Here’s what I ate (and drank:)
Trader Joe’s cinnamon apple oatmeal – $.33 for one serving.
Trader Joe’s vanilla almond bar – $.50 for one bar.
Diet Coke – free. I took it from the conference room.
BBQ chicken – free. About an hour later, I went back into the cafeteria and stealthily got a second helping. I took it back to my office where I wrapped it up and threw it in our fridge so that I could take it home for dinner. I also took a couple of free iced teas that they had over there for the rest of the afternoon.
That is a grand total of $.83 for the day. Truly an exciting day for a cheapskate.
