Food
Before leaving, we needed to buy food for five and a half months... all at once.
It was quite a daunting experience. We realized just how much we'd be eating
when we'd gotten the first three items on our shopping list and our cart was
nearly full! We got most of our food from CostCo, and filled in what we
couldn't find there at Bread & Circus and the local grocery store. If you're
curious, here's what we bought:
27.5 lbs. peanuts
28 lbs. Sun Maid raisins
6 lbs. almonds
5 lbs. dried apricots
24 jars Polaner fruit spread
