$184.75 Might Last Ten Days

Quite some time ago, I detailed our grocery list. I'm here to do it again - Grocery Diaries COVID Edition!

At this point, we're mostly eating vegetarian, with the exception of lots of chicken stock and eggs.  Dr. BB requires gluten-free food, so consider that in your calculations of how on earth two people can spend so much money on food.  

Breakfast: Dr.  BB eats gluten-free (GF) granola and Fage Greek yogurt with green tea
I eat home-made granola with Dannon Greek yogurt, fruit, cranberry juice, and apple cinnamon tea

Lunch: Dr. BB eats hummus with NutThins crackers, almonds, cheese with a Pepsi
I eat vegetables, guacamole with pretzels, and cheese with a sparkling water (occasionally peanut butter on NutThins if I'm feeling particularly naughty)

Post-workout deals: Dr. BB drinks kefir and has a strange protein shake thing before bed
I drink a Gatorade and frequently consume a large number of almonds

Dinners: We have planned a potato and broccoli frittata (2 days), Indian butter chickpea curry thing (3 things), squash risotto (2 days), slow cooker black bean soup (3 days) for dinners

You'll note that this should take us through 10 days.  We already had some stuff, including guacamole and dried black beans (there weren't any dried black beans on the shelf anyway or I would have bought them), so here goes my list of what I bought at the grocery store last week. I shop at a warehouse grocery store called Woodman's because it has the largest and least expensive selection of gluten-free foods and the best produce around.
