True cost of eating/meal planning
Posted by: Mislu ()

I was looking up information about the true cost of driving per mile and came accross this webpage.
[www.commutesolutions.org]

Have any of you come accross a similiar webpage which breaks down associated costs around meals? That would be very helpful for me as I am filling out an application for a scholarship, and it asks for meal costs, transportation etc...

It would be great to get a really good estimate on the true costs around meals. I think most people don't think about dishwashing soap or fuel or electicity in coooking. (if they cook) Then there is waste disposal, perhaps medical hazards around eating particular foods on a regular basis. It would be good to see a breakdown to find a good estimate. The application is probably just looking for either prepared meals or direct costs, like the price of food itself.

Thank you!

There is probably discussion about this with the locavores, google that and see what you find for your area.

Seems like something you'd have to figure out yourself since everyone eats/buys different things.. I would think. My true costs for things aren't going to be the same as someone else's.

Thats very true. But the same thing might be said for driving. Some may drive a high efficient gas milage car, and others one that isn't. How one drives makes a difference, where one drives etc... Still, the webpage is able to make a projection on associated costs. The most revealing is the indirect costs.
