One person’s food budget for 2 weeks = $40-ish?

Wowwww. Stunning revelation here on this b-e-autiful December morning.

So I was doing some math the other day (c’est impossible, non? D:) and I realized that the Ajaxo Shopping List doesn’t address single people - well directly anyhow. (Note: Skip to CONCLUSION if you don’t want me to impress you with my sub-par math skills :P)

To briefly re-cap, it contains groceries for 7 meals for a family of four - that’s 4 (actually depending on the meal it can be a lot more) servings a meal…for a grand total of 28 servings.  So what about people feeding one?  That’s simple.  Take the total servings and divide by 2 (lunch and dinner) for 14 days (lunch and dinner covered).

In Conclusion:
That means the list right now can feed a single person for 2 weeks - lunch and dinner.  As I noted in my previous entry, the list this week’s a bit pricier than usual. The week before ‘holidays savings’ arrived was about mid $30s.

That’s NOT BAD!!! $30-somethin for one person for TWO whole weeks!  I wish I knew about that in college.  I remember going out to Safeway was guaranteed to be at least $10/meal.  Ridiculous. o__O

Can you do better? Check out the list today @ www.Ajaxo.com or direct link here
