The little 3-shelf unit in my picture? It's one of two.
The bigger 5-shelf one? One of three.
Plus the 78 feet of shelves that are built into the crib.
Plus the fact that there are milk crates and boxes full of magazines and mounds and mounds of books covering the futon, the tables, the floor... I've probably got more books off shelves than on them.
I've been thinking about trying this experiment for a while, so here's the first attempt. RULES: 1. Everything must be purchased from the dollar store or listed as a cheat. 2. Leftovers (stuff you didn't use) can be used later. 3. Cost = Items Purchased + Cheats - Leftovers Items purchased: 1. Mini cucumbers 2. Roma tomatoes 3. Bell peppers 4. Green onions 5. Sliced turkey 6. Asparagus salad 7. Black olives 8&9 Pasta Salad mix. Cheats = Salt, crushed red pepper, a little bit of italian dressing. Nom-alicious! Leftovers: 1/2 of the cucumbers 1/2 of the tomatoes 2/3 of the peppers 3/4 of the onions Bottom line: Items purchased ~ 9.00 + cheats ~ 0.10 - leftovers ~ 2.41 Total = 6.69 Fed 6 = $1.13 per serving. I should have bought a box of saltines!

I'm probably diagnosable...
