Day 1 or Epic Failure

Actually, we didn't do too badly. Here's a run-down of our costs per person:

.13 to make coffee
.20 instant oatmeal
.17 bananas, which was too much, but I needed them
.04 shampoo per day
2.75 quesadillas (1.75 for cheese, .10 for sour cream, .45 for beans, .30 for olives, .15 for tortillas)
.30 for most of the baby food

We drank water all day for the most part. I'm using a shower gel that I won at a baby shower, and David uses Dial that I got at Big Lots so cheap that it's less than a penny a day.

After our various snacks, the grand totals are

Me = $5.51
Big Chief = $8.19
Little Chief = $2.83

So the big guy is hemorrhaging money. Basically, it was my fault. I had an uber cheap lentil soup planned, but I let him talk me into quesadillas, which were great, but he needed two of them to feel satisfied. I have a feeling he's going to be my Achilles heel, as if he wasn't already.

Since we've already blown our totals for the day, I'm off to make cookies. If we eat them all, they won't count toward tomorrow's totals.
