Part II: The Shopping

Here I am on 14th Street, shopping for the ingredients, which were all readily available at 

 1. Trader Joe's 
2. the Farmer's Market

Here are the main ingredients


And here is how much the ingredients cost (keep in mind that the bread, butter, cheese, and milk I will use for several other meals):
Organic Swiss Chard $ 3.00
1lb. Organic Whole Wheat Bread $ 4.00
1/4 lb Organic Cheese $ 6.00
1 qt. Organic Milk $2.50
1 lb. Organic Salted Butter $4.79
1 lb. Organic Tomatoes $3.49
Red wine 4.99
The flour and spices I already had at home. The whole meal, then, comes under $30.00 and it serves 6 people, so it comes to $5.00 a plate (with wine included).
