I went shopping last week (again)!

My friend and I went to a Chinese grocery store Thursday afternoon, 99 Ranch Market. I enjoy going here because their meat and seafood selection is notoriously cheaper than most places. This is important to me since protein is infamously the most expensive part of my budget.

Here’s what I bought:

• 0.96 lbs of Pork Spare Rib @ $2.19/lb for $2.11
• 1.2 lbs of 51/60 Headcount White Shrimp @ $5.49/lb for $6.53
• This kind of annoyed me since I only asked for one pound. I feel like it wouldn’t of been that hard to skim a fifth of a pound from what the person gave me.
• 0.2 lbs of ginger at $0.99/lb for $0.20
• I know I just bought some ginger at Berkeley Bowl but I couldn’t resist buying more since it was so much cheaper.
• 0.56 lbs of Shiitake Mushroom at $5.99/lb for $3.35
• 1 package mung bean thread/noodles $1.99

Total: $2.11+ $6.53+ $0.20+ $3.35+ $1.99= $14.18

Okay…
$55+ $32.51+ $14.18= $101.69

So… I went over $100. Lol. Argh. I guess I should try and see how far the food in my fridge will last me for the next week. We’ll see when I go to grocery shopping again.
