Food Stamp Challenge - day 4

Last night I made and cooked a batch of sour dough pancakes, so we'd have them this morning. Since the girls were here, I didn't want to me messing with too much cooking.
En Entire batch of 24 pancakes, cost .89 Marty had 4 of them, I had 2, each of the girls had 1. One cup of milk between the girls (each had 4 oz), Marty had 12 oz. I had tea. . . so approx. .78 for breakfast for 4 of us. Marty had his usual 2 sandwiches, chips, banana and 2 sodas for lunch. The girls had leftover tortellini, celery, yogurt and split a soda. I had a braunschweiger sandwich, celery, soda. .56 for my lunch, $1.13 for Marty's lunch, $1.60 for the girls together. Supper tonight is going to be the rest of the sticky chicken, cauliflower, tomato slices - so $1.84 between the two of us. Our total for day 4 = $5.91 We might have a snack later, which will be stove popped popcorn - appox. another .10 - .15 And I just have to share -- here's one reason I didn't take more pictures of food today :)

    Why would you take pics of food when you have such lovely little people to capture.

    So right Cara -- poor thing fell asleep while reading her "Duck" book. . . it's actually a Veggie Tale book, about sharing, but it has lots of yellow ducks in it.
