Kyle's Food

One of the most eye opening things
about moving out and living on your own
is the COST OF FOOD!

Kind of a shock.


Notice his TEENY TINY fridge.
(on the right side of his "kitchen")

It's all fridge.
No freezer.
And it's TEENY TINY.

Which means he goes to the grocery store
(across the street) multiple times each
week to get food.
And has to pay premium prices for
smaller "convenience" sizes of everything.

We talked about it and decided it
would save him about $150 a month
if he bought a freezer and could shop
at Sam's.  He already shares a membership
with us, and there is one right there in Logan...

So...

First on his list of important things to do
(after he woke up!  Poor guy!)
was a trip to Sam's where they had a nice
little 5.0 cu ft chest freezer for $149.

And since I spend a lot of $$$ at Sam's,
there was a $50 cash back credit on
our account.
So he only paid $99!


He now has LESS room to move around.


But he has MORE food.
He got to actually buy vegetables!
(He has been living on canned corn
as his veggie of choice.)
(for 2 months)

Now he can buy a large bag of
chicken thighs (his favorite) and a 
large tray of steak
and a couple of big bags of vegetables
and bags of ice
and
ICE CREAM.

And now there is room in his fridge for
SALAD and MILK.

He is totally livin' large now!
