My Frugal Grocery Plan Used To Cost $30 A Week — Now It's $45

For the most part, I ate a lot of the same things. For breakfast, my mainstay was oatmeal with a bit of fruit. Here's a breakdown of how much it cost: 

Breakfast: Oatmeal

•Oatmeal (18 ounces): $2.69* 

•Bananas (3–4; I used half per meal): 19 cents each; $.80 

•Unsweetened almond milk (32 ounces): $1.99

Seven meals 

2021 Total: $5.40

2008 Total: $4.90

The oatmeal was good for 18 servings, so a canister of the stuff got me through 2 weeks and then some. 

Back in 2008, when I initially did this challenge, the oatmeal pretty much cost the same, and surprisingly, so did the bananas. The almond milk, however, was a smidge less expensive, at about $1.50.
