My DD has been at school for 2-1/2 weeks. I just looked over the grocery bill and I've paid $85. I was going to give her $50 a week but I don't think she will need that much. She only eats twice a day. This was all bought in two different shopping trips. One was move in day and the 2nd was this weekend. The little things added up like seasonings, butter, cheese slices(for grilled cheese), bread, eggs. She also bought frozen stuff corndogs, bag of frozen chicken breast, frozen pizza, burritos, frozen veggie bags like broccoli, broccoli and cauliflower, stir fry veggies, waffle fries, seasoned potato wedges. Plus we bought pasta sauce, pasta, bj&butter, ranch dressing, baby carrots, yogurt, bananas, blue berries, black berries and some other stuff .
We didn't realize Costco was closed on Monday so we didn't get her frozen crusted taplia and raw shrimp. So we headed to walmart for some of the above items. She put some stuff in the main freezer and some in her room freezer. I think she will be fine the rest of the month. She will only need to buy fresh fruit or lil things here and there. We see her in two weeks and will take her to get talipia and shrimp. By then hopefully some of the frozen stuff will be gone.
How is everyone doing with their grocery budget?
As far as roommates. DD is fine with the girl in her room which is a friend. The other two girls are loud, don't clean up, use dd's and her her roommates side of the bathroom counter and sink, were using their soap. One of the girls is fine with the other isn't there but the 4th girl always has her boyfriend over during the week until 12am and sometimes he's there in the morning. DD isn't sure if he stays the night or get there early. Rule is no over night guest. I guess the one girl also has the boyfriend and his friend over and the other girl has a couple of friends over and cooks for her friends. Stove burners was gross . I told my Dd and she said its the two girls because she hasn't used the stove yet.
DD and her actual roommate are going to call another meeting and discuss some of the issues especially the late night guest during the week. The guys live in the same building so hopefully they go over to their own place. I think once they sit down hopefully things will be better
How are your kids doing with their roommates?
