Thanks, I _just_ threw out the receipts this week for individual meal cost estimation or I would post my results from that. I was kind of jealous when shopping for the new puppy... why can't I just buy a 30lb bag of bachelor chow and live off of it for a month. (Answer: I'd get to throwing up when I thought about it after a week.) Absolutely right that all of the things that make food good and fun end up being a large portion of the budget, while the things that actually power you can be safely bought in bulk.
