Groceries

I went on my first grocery shopping trips for the new place yesterday (and the day before, though it was a very minor trip). I spent about $20 total, and this is what I have to show for it:

Rice: .80
Dry beans: $1.10
Canned goods:
Carrots: .70
Green beans: .70
Mixed veggies: .50
Oatmeal (medium-sized): $4.60
Peanut butter (small): $1.50
Honey: $5.60
Bread: $1.25
Eggs: $1
Water: $1
Bleach: $1 (for cleaning, not eating)

Total: $19.75

I have a few recipes in mind for the dinner ingredients:

Alton Brown's baked brown rice (though I'll need butter):
