potatoes and cents

I've been in the cooking mood lately. As me and the boyfriend are trying to save money (read: We are broke college kids) We've been trying our hardest to eat our meals in and not go out to eat. We did the math for last week:
I shopped at Whole Foods and spent $39
He went to Bruno's and spent $49
TOTAL: about $90
We used to eat out almost every meal at approximately $20 a pop. 20X2=$40 a day X 7= $240 a week. So we're saving $150 a week by eating in. Soooooo, that means I can spend it on useful kitchen tools by Martha right?!!

  1. The multi-colored mixing bowls are so cute! And I'd bet they'd come in handy, too - I always find myself yelling "give me the bowl right underneath the middle one!", and just saying "give me the gray bowl" would be so much easier. And I think you're totally justified in spending your food savings on new kitchen wares. Happy shopping!
