Moose and I have decided to diet before our wedding in February. In addition, we've decided to attempt to keep to a real budget. Turns out we spend a lot of money on food. Like a lot. We buy full groceries, eat out a ton, and end up throwing leftovers and unused food away. We had some success last year with a diet that involved making casseroles and portioning them out. So, combine the two and you've got the bulk-food body and wallet diet. Goal is to make two meals with 8-10 portions each on Sundays, keeping the week's food cost around $50-75 at the grocery store. We're still going to do our traditional Monday night dinner with friends, but hopefully we can make enough to eat lunches and dinners through Friday, and perhaps Saturday.
Goals (listed cleanly):
1. Go grocery shopping Sunday. Buy only what is needed for the week and keep it to $50-$75
2. Sunday afternoons, make two meals with 8-10 portions of each, making enough for lunches and dinners through at least Friday.
3. Lose weight.
4. Save money.
