If you took a look at my Google Reader it reflects what my interests are (Personal Finance, Food, Lifehacking, Fitness, etc.) but recently I've been seeing that the feeds I read are starting to blend together. I'm talking about lots of blogs starting to focus on Cheap, Healthy, Good recipes and more recently, the One Dollar a Day Diet Project.
It inspired me to start my own diet program, the $3 a day diet program. Why $3? Let me walk you through my mind:
1. Read the diet plan for the $1 a day Diet Project and it was made for vegetarians. Don't get me wrong, dear Readers, you have seen me go Vegetarian, Raw, etc many a time. My Husband will not.
2. In addition to the vegetarian basis for the $1 a day Diet Project, it was severely lacking in fresh vegetables and fruit. The key in my mind is to eat as healthily, cheaply and deliciously as possible.
3. Currently my husband and I have a household food/groceries budget that sits at about $500 a month or approximately $17 a day. I want to know if I'd be able to shave off $10 a day and have us both eat for $3 a day total.
4. I want to create a plan that is executable by the average person and even if my dear readers don't actually end up trying out my project, at the very least they'll have some decent cheap recipes they might want to try.
But I'm not starting today. No, this next week will be about research. Research and coercing my dear stubborn husband to partake in my new project.
During my research period I'll be establishing nutritional guidelines and compiling a Food Cost Index including location purchased.
