We are also feeding our two grand daughters on the days they are here, yet not increasing our allotted amount. Over all, I think we had a successful week. Today was Marty's colonoscopy - no breakfast before we left for the hospital at 4:30 AM. I packed a drink and the leftover muffin , with the intent to eat it while he was undergoing his procedure. I was afraid to leave the waiting room though, and didn't want to eat/drink in front of people getting ready for their procedures, so I just kept it in my bag. Marty woke up after his procedure - and they gave him soda and graham crackers. But on the way home he was hungry so he ate the muffin I packed. 10 cents for his breakfast. When we got home - I immediately went to take a nap, so I skipped lunch. Marty's gut wasn't feeling good, so he had a slice of cheese .19 and a soda .33 = 52 cents. I ate a handful of chips when I woke up .09 and tea .05 = .14 Supper was canned soup, sandwiches and some of the left over jello - soup was $1.69/can, sandwiches .22 each, jell0 .69 - Marty drank milk .35 I had tea .05
