Bachelor on the Cheap Challenge: $50 to eat for a week, Day 4, Lunch
05/23/2017
By Mike Thayer
Can you eat for a week on just $50?
Breaking it down by the day, that's about $7.14 per day or $2.38 per meal.
It's Day 4 and time for lunch! It doesn't really get any cheaper than this.... The boss bought lunch! There was a company meeting today, lunch was provided and so I enjoyed some fried chicken, a biscuit, a few steak fries and some mac & cheese. Not a real healthy meal, but an almost free one! The only thing I had to shell out any money for was my drink, a Big Q Diet Mountain Dew at QuikTrip for 96 cents.
Meal totals for the day:
Breakfast: $1.00
Lunch: $0.96
I don't think I'll have any problems staying under budget with dinner!
Cumulative total for the Challenge:
Day 1: $7.25
Day 2: $6.90
Day 3: $6.55
Day 4: $1.96 (breakfast & lunch)
Grand Total: $22.66 so far and under budget! Holding off on the Ramen..... for now....
$50 to eat for a week, are you up for the challenge?
