to start my sophmore year, just as a curiosity I made an excel spreadsheet to track my grocery purchases, this is just Kroger receipts, so it's not totally grocery expenses since ive obviously bought groceries at other places... thought i throw this here just for the hell of it, i might be on the only to have ever done something like this haha i just recently finished up school and here is the damage Kroger Savings: $563.65 Kroger Cost: $2,113.04
wow, during my college i follow a strict diet instant noodles and cereals, that cost me nothing at all
we were forced to buy a meal plan my fresh yr, this is the total from 2nd yr to 4th year + 2 extra quarters i don't really consider it a lot for the person that said that..considering some people can easily spend $40/week depending if if they are on a specific diet or not
