I am taking the plunge! I am going to try this Pennywise Eat Local Challenge starting on April 23, 2007.
http://www.eatlocalchallenge.com/2007/03/all_you_need_to.html
The purpose is to prove whether yuo can eat locally (within 100 miles of my home in San Francisco California) without going bankrupt! Personally I think it will be very difficult. Eating on $10 a day is hard enough as it is but doing it with local limitations will be next to impossible. I know for certain that means not going out to breakfast, lunch or dinner.
During this challenge I plan to keep track of my spending, and grocery list. The following will not be included as a part of this calculation:
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES (ALTHOUGH WINE WILL BE LOCAL)
SPICES (FRESH HERBS WILL BE PART OF THE CHALLENGE)
MISC CONDIMENTS (MUSTARDS, KETCHUPS, ETC)
I am up for the challenge and no doubt I will loose a few pound in the meantime. Wish me luck!
