Budgeting Assignment #3

  1. Ingredients & Prices
    1. Appetizer- Parmesan Garlic Bread
      1. Garlic- $0.69
      2. French Baguette- $3.00
      3. Parmesan Cheese- $4.00
    2. Sauteed Green Beans
      1. Yellow Onion- $0.66
    3. Creamy Tomato Pasta
      1. Heavy Cream- $2.00
      2. Canned Tomatoes- $2.50
The total cost for all of my ingredients was $12.85. Considering this meal fed 4-6 people, this is a very good price (only about $2.50 per person)! This meal cost me a lot less than my normal food expenditures because I already had a lot of the ingredients in my pantry/fridge. 

    1. Do you think your food budget is adequate to purchase food to support a nutritionally balanced diet? 
      1. Yes, I feel that my budget is adequate.  
    2. Have you made any changes since the beginning of class to either your food budgeting or food purchasing habits?  If so, what were they? 
      1. Since the beginning of this class, I have really made a conscious effort to reduce my food waste. I do this by grocery shopping each week and buying smaller amounts as well as meal prepping. 
    3. Has your cooking and/or eating changed?  If so, how?
      1. I’ve started cooking more of my food at home and I avoid eating out. This has saved me a lot of money and reduced the amount of food waste I create.
