More ManFort Math

Having given up true suburban 21st century living I am accustom too ……….
I started at 5:30 am .. Strained the yogurt this morning and added the raisins and dried oranges to the home make honey almond granola and packed up 6 tub’s of yogurt breakfast. . so let’s see ManFort Math time … one gallon of whole milk makes me 12 jars of yogurt so that’s 19 cents per jar for the yogurt.
I have about a week’s worth of granola. That works out to about 53 cents per container .. so my half cup of yogurt granola breakfast is 72 cents .. hmm that’s about 5 bucks for 7 days of breakfasts .. or .. 1 trip to McDonalds. (YUM YUM but BAD BAD)
I also control exactly what goes in it this concoction. I also have no added sugars or preservatives and since I use yogurt from the previous batch I made where I introduced the Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG Bacteria Strain its even more super healthy that it started out. Lactobacillus GG is one of the most effective most studied strains of good gut bacteria at balancing out the causes of gas, bloating and stomach upset. It’s a bit more complicated than that but with better digestion, your immune system is stronger and ready to fend off bad bacteria. In essence it will strengthen the immune system and boost your immune response.
For lunch for the next three days we will have Lentil soup. The soup has carrots an onion and a bag of lentils so it cost about 2.63 cents for the stock pot full .. Im not counting the pork and or pork stock since it came from the bones left over from sausage making I saved instead of throwing out. Let’s see more ManFort math then… I got 6 bags of soup not including the soup I had yesterday .. that’s 44 cents a bag.
So for breakfast and lunch today I will have spent 1.16 cents ? huh .. prior to this
….The Greek Yogurt with Gourmet Granola would have been 3 bucks and the soup would have been 2.50 I would have had a cup of coffee .. 1.50 and a pop with the soup so 1.35 that adds up to 8.35 cents ? So I saved 7.19 cents. That will be my first three days of the week so .. I could actually be saving 22.00. Id count the two pieces of HERB AND GARLIC BUTTER BREAD but since Julie makes the bread and it’s about a buck a 2 pound loaf ?
I know I know some people don’t eat breakfast or lunch every day .. instead they have a couple snacks .. maybe a candy bar or a bag of chips and a big dinner but that’s why it’s called ManFort math
Gosh No Wonder I have extra cash lately
