Diana D'Abruzzo

The grocery bill each week was $110, but there was never a shortage of food deep inside Diana D’Abruzzo’s kitchen cabinets and freezer. So the Pilot staffer decided to see how long she could survive by eating just the foods already in her kitchen. Over the next few weeks, or perhaps months, Diana will blog about her experience digging through that frozen pit of chicken breasts, turkey bacon and corn on the cobs – until the last Popsicle, the last can of tuna, is eaten. (Disclaimer: She’s still allowed to buy perishables such as milk, bread, fruit, fresh vegetables and eggs.)



To Be Continued...

So very sorry for my disappearance.

The experiment is wrapping up, and I will write a final article for May 7th's newspaper. I hope you'll check it out to see what I've learned and how it went. But for those curious, I still have not gone "real" grocery shopping. Soon. Soon. Soon.

Thanks for reading this -- it's been a long journey and you were right there with me (but, man, you didn't have to eat that tuna noodle casserole...)



Definite signs of life now

Glad to see you are still with us. I now apologize for my comment on the last blog, and retract the statement. Since it's been a while since you have been "real" shopping, may as well let you know now.. The $110.00 you were paying for groceries before this experiment will probably just become a fond memory once you have to shop in earnest again. Maybe you should have stocked up. They're even finding a way to squeeze more money out of rice!
