1.Food
My estimated amount of food per week would be 100$. I have calculated researched and found different
stores that helped mew to figure out how much food and how much i would spend. I went on different
sites such as iga, super c, metro etc... The grocery stores that had the best and cheapest prices were
maxi, and iga. I looked up food that would be relatable of something that id eat as snack, dinner, lunch,
and breakfast. My prices are pretty realistic, these items are some of the foods that id most probably eat
since there fast, healthy and easy to prepare. I didn't think that the prices would be this high for the little
things we eat everyday...
