Kosher on the Cheap: Week 1

Just got back from the bodega (Spanish grocery store), where $20.64 snagged me:

-one box of whole wheat matzos
-one dozen eggs
-227 oz. of mushrooms
-five kiwis
-four apples
-four tomatoes
-four cucumbers
-six heads of garlic
-two cans of Campbell’s vegetarian vegetable soup
-one 16 oz. can of baked beans
-one 9 oz. can of sweet potatoes
-one 4.5 oz. can of lemon juice
-one bag of Double Stuf Oreos (couldn’t resist)

Not bad for a neighborhood where there’s absolutely no competition between grocers.

Look for the first “Kosher on the Cheap” meal tomorrow afternoon. Can you feel the burn, baby? You know I can.

Edited to add, “I used most of my remaining $3.36 to buy some plain vanilla yogurt. We’ll see what comes of it.” Feb. 17, 3:42pm
