As a student living on very limited funds, groceries are one of the most stressful parts of my daily life. As someone who thinks cooking and eating a variety of foods is an important part of life, I am finding it increasingly harder to afford an interesting and nutritional foodscape. Food prices are increasing, AND the standard sizes of many packaged items are becoming smaller for the same price.

My project explores these issues using copies of receipts from my own life, hand-drawn/magazine cut outs of food, some advertising slogans I found to be particularly annoying, and a recipe w/ a cost breakdown per item. I wanted to portray a sense of desperation as well as show the alluring nature of food.
