$4.74 breakfast - small almond croissant and coffee

$17.60 lunch:
$8 for a sandwich (juicy porkbelly on crusty fresh bread with cilantro, pickled pear, pickled carrots and spicy sauce.
$3.50 -- big splurge for fresh watermelon juice. I was tired of water and green unsweetened tea, and this seemed to be the healthiest sweet drink option. and
$5 for a large spicy lentil soup with a trace of pickled vegetables.

The soup I got was for supper. We had no chance to get groceries since we came back from Florida. To go shopping in our area is at least 20 min driving each way, and I did not want to expose baby to that on the days he already rides 2 hrs to and from daycare.

$2.5 baguette
$3.78 1 orange and one mango (not even organic)

It was a right decision to buy soup, since it turns out we couldn't have gone anywhere - to eat out or to shop for groceries - as soon as we drove up to the house the baby threw up in the car. A LOT. It took a while to wash him up, calm him down, hold him until he felt better, than wash the car seat cover, the car seat and belt itself, his clothing. Cooked some "safe" neutral food -- buckwheat kasha on milk for the little one... But I'm glad he felt better and ate it -- I was worried because it is not usual for him to throw up. Especially that much!

one more expense after I made the post - $5 for a $10 starbucks card from Google offers. (I think it is like Groupon). It was a very clever tactic. If they had just offered me $5 to sign up I probably would have passed, but there was something about a $10 starbucks card that was emotionally more appealing.
