Here's my grocery list for this month. I've come up with this list trying to find the cheapest things with the best nutritional profile. The ghee is the only indulgence. I may need to sacrifice this if other more essential items are being compromised.
The calorific content of all this food is about 51000 kilo calories. That's 1700 calories a day. Honestly, it's more than I expected I could get for this amount. We'll have to see how this works in terms of a daily food plan. It's possible I've forgotten some essentials and will need to dip into the buffer or throw out the ghee.
