Belated food stamp challenge update

I've been feeling puny - got a TDaP booster and it made me feel really wiped out. That said, we have maintained on the challenge. We've not resorted to beans/rice, nor have we varied too much from our usual meals. We have cut out most desserts (not a bad thing) other than fruits. Marty did get a craving and baked a pineapple upside down cake yesterday. . . total for the cake $2.27 - we ate about 1/4 of it last night, since we had the girls. Supper last night was baked pork chops in a homemade breading, and roasted broccoli/cauliflower mix. . with garlic and Parmesan cheese sprinkled on at the end. .97 for each pork chop, we ate 3. . . $2.78 for broccoli and cauliflower but we only used half the cauliflower and then only ate 1/2 the total we cooked. . . add in 2 T.olive oil and a sprinkle of cheese the pan cost approx. $2 and we ate 1/2 so $1 - kids drank water (flavored with some left over Mio that Marty used on his colon prep drink) I had tea and Marty had soda. . . .55 for drinks. . . $4.46 for supper.

I promise it tasted better than the picture looks . . my pork chop folded up on itself when I took it off the pan, so the edges look like fat, when in fact it's just where it tore/folded. I did an Aldi's shop on Tuesday for bread, milk, lunch meat, chips, flour, cereal, a bit of meat, fruits and veggies-- spent $61.78, we still have almost $80 left from our allotted amount, and we should not have to shop again before the end of the month.
