Let me start by saying I have a good job. I have a job that pays me well. They don't seem to mind if at times I'm underqualified or a bit overwhelmed. Either way I'm not doing this because I have to... it's an experiment, this is science. Here are the rules and constraints for my experiment: - I can't spend more than $1 for a meal. - I can't eat more meals than breakfast and lunch (no elevensies). This should be a meal that can sustain me for the high-impact white collar job. - It goes without saying that as I'm attempting to do with only a dollar a meal I will be stealing as much as I possibly can. So here's my first recipe: Ghetto Office Tuna Salad Everything except the tuna in the recipe was taken from the condiments tray in my office cafeteria. That means this meal cost me a whopping: $0.44. Regular price for bumblebee is $0.69 but a quick swipe of my safeway card saved two bits. Ingredients: * 1 can of BumbleBee Tuna (I used the "Light in Water", but I guess "In Oil" would be just fine.) * 3 pkts of mayonnaise * 1 pkt of sweet relish * 3 pkts of pepper * 1 pkt of salt * 1 pkt of mustard * half a pkt of hot sauce * as many pkts of crackers as you can steal This isn't rocket science... drain the tuna in a sink and then open everything except the crackers and mix it together. Eat the mix with crackers. (For completeness I mixed everything in a bowl I got from afore mentioned cafeteria.) Lunch for about $1 a day: BumbleBee Tuna |
