Update on Spending
Posted: June 16, 2011 Filed under: $ Left, Tina Wrote It 2 CommentsIn search of cheap sushi supplies, I decided to hit Hong Kong Supermarket today and wasn’t disappointed! A huge emporium of Asian goods, this place had a ton of stuff and I was a bit overwhelmed. We’re probably going to go overbudget this weekend…maybe not, but I did get a HUGE tub of miso and 50 sheets of nori – which were my only options. The miso will last almost forever and the sheets of nori will keep in the fridge as well. Sushi summer!
- Mirin: 1.29
- Nori: 6.99
- Miso: 4.99
- Mock dock: 1.29
- Daikon: .50
- Sprouts: .75
- Chinese brocolli: 1.50
- Tofu: 1.00 (from the Tofu lady on Bowery and Grand)
- Lettuce: 1.29
- Avocado: 1.36
TOTAL: 20.96 + $4 (total from earlier in the week) + $4 (bought canned beans, bread and pasta yesterday) = $28.96
$1.04 left!
Hi! I’m hijacking your idea & doing a $30 a week challenge. My goal is to (a.) use what I have, without waste (b.) figure out where I’m funneling my cash and (c.) generally manage my resources to best reach my goals & reduce my impact on the planet. Thanks for doing the work & planting the idea in my head. Since I live alone & don’t spend a lot more than that anyway, it won’t be a huge pinch, but in observing the grocery budget I will also watch other areas. Plus, I have seven pets. THEY have a huge food budget…… Thanks!
!!!! I love those rude tofu ladies on the corner of grand!! I love more the fact that their three huge chunks for a buck has been the same price for the last five years!
