Shopping list
Cost estimates based on Safeway and Berkeley Bowl prices advertised in January 2013. While lower prices may be found at various local markets, this list
represents a “one-stop-shopping” which may be more realistic for busy students. Cut down further on cost by buying in bulk, using coupons or club cards, and
looking for sales and specials. Note that costs are for portions used in the menu; your up-front cost will be higher if you purchase all items on the list as
packaged.
