So easy. BUT YOU CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.
List what you eat and drink between now and next class. Itemize what each item costs. Bring this list with you to class. If you can, get an estimate from your family of what they spend in a week on food. I’ll give you my own example from yesterday.
1 Cliff bar: $1.25
Coffee (made at home): $1
Coffee (made at home): $1
1 Trader Joe’s cereal bar: $0.45
Salad from RTC cafeteria: $4.50
Grilled cheese sandwich (homemade): $0.75
Tomato soup: $0.75
2 Ninkasi IPAs and a half order of Cajun tots at the local pub: $11 (before tax and tip)
TOTAL: $19.70
PS: don't forget your notebook; I'll be collecting and grading it Thursday.
So, if we like eat a bowl of cereal how do we decide how much that is??
ReplyDeleteEstimate about how much you ate as a fraction. If you go through a box of cereal during the school week, you probably eat about 1/5 of the box at a time. Divide the cost of the box by 5, and that's the cost of the cereal. Do the same process for the milk.
DeleteThis can be a rough estimate. I had a hard time with the grilled cheese sandwich.
