<p>I am currently taking summer classes, and though I’m living in a dorm, I am doing all my own grocery shopping/cooking. I have been spending approximately 50 dollars a week, plus or minus. I do most of my grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s, and a little bit elsewhere when necessary - I am a fairly small girl, so I think that might not be enough for boys who eat a lot, athletes, etc., but it does cover breakfast, lunch, dinner and some snacks for me. I try to eat fairly healthily, and so I will sometimes pay the premium for quality in terms of fish, poultry, etc., but on the other hand I try to save by purchasing raw ingredients as opposed to prepared stuff, which tends to be more expensive. </p>
<p>For simple, cheap lunches - two things I have been doing a lot are 1) making mini tortilla wraps - I use mini whole wheat tortillas, put a slice of turkey, a slice of cheese, some spinach leaves, mustard, and role into a wrap. 2) making english muffin pizzas - again, i take whole wheat english muffins, and on each of the two halves, i put some tomato sauce, mushrooms/other veggies, and a little bit of cheese, then stick in the oven. These two are quite simple, fairly cheap (tomato sauce, etc. lasts for a long time), and I would like to think decently healthy ;)</p>
<p>I do more real cooking for dinner, and tend to mostly eat fish, poultry, occasionally other meats, tofu, etc. Oh, and editing to add that I also tend to eat vegetables/fruit with both lunch and dinner, so sometimes I do spend more on produce.</p>
