Day 20: Flounder, Ozzie's, and Groceries

Officially down to my last dollar and change!

I splurged at Ozzie's Cafe in Park Slope yesterday.  I took the car in for an oil change, and I unexpectedly had to wait two hours.  It wasn't worth going home, and it was too cold to window shop, so I stopped into this cozy cafe for a cookie and a chai latte (an exorbitant $4.50)

I've been craving fish all month, and yesterday flounder was on sale.  It's served over forbidden black rice (which has been in our pantry for almost a year now) and edamame (in our freezer), with sauteed zucchini on the side ($3.65 for 2 servings).  This, with these groceries, leaves me with $1.42.

Kosher salt $0.89
Zucchini $0.95
Krasdale cheddar $1.99
