A new budgeting challenge

Last week I was faced with a new food/budgeting challenge. My stove and oven went so I had to find healthy, budget friendly food that I didn't really have to cook.

This was a huge challenge for me because cooking is something I really enjoy, and preparing meals ahead of time has always been very important to me. I had to put all of that aside for the week and find microwave food. Here's what I found.

First of all, I found that it is virtually impossible to find healthy food that has already been prepared that is budget friendly. I ended up getting a PC Brand prepared quesadilla, Prepared curry, some noodles, sandwich fixen's and some fresh veggies for salads and snacks.

The week is now over and all I can say from this experience is IF YOU SUDDENLY HAVE NO WAY TO COOK YOUR FOOD, STAY AT A FRIENDS!!

Budget wise this week's food bill came to close to $100. I included the times I had to get take-away because there were times I could not cook. Thats over 4 times what I normally spend and the food was anything but health conscious. I also found that since I eat very healthy normally the food I had to eat did not make me feel very good at all... :(

I just wanted to update my readers on what I currently do budget wise as well! Hope you enjoyed!
