I am not including that in my costs unless I happen to buy bottled water while out, etc. Marty drinks water unless he's drinking milk or we go out to eat. No pictures of lunch - but I had a sandwich and an apple, Marty had 2 sandwiches and a banana. 6 slices of bread, .07 x 6- .42 lunch meat .40 x 3= $1.20, apple .24 banana .14 Total for lunch = $1.98 Dinner tonight -- sheet pan dinner. . . roasted chicken breasts and asparagus. There were 5 huge breasts in the pack I purchased. I cooked all 5 tonight as I get scared of raw chicken if it sits more than a couple days. Tonight we split one breast, the others will go in the freezer for future meals. Tonight Chicken $1.89, asparagus (part of the pack I purchased, still have about 1/2 left) approx. $1.50 a handful of cheese on the chicken .75 - total for dinner = $4.14 Total for the day = $6.83. . . we are allowed approx. $8.40/day.

shopping recipt week 1

I went over already :( I am not including the foods that I gave to a local family, but I am including the foods that I make to feed the kids, guests, etc. My total was 69.29 (subtracted the $5.75 hamburger and $1.32 eggs that I gave to the family in town) Goal is $66.30 Several of the items I purchased to day will carry over to next week. . . the cabbage alone weighed 5.8 lbs so should last into next week.

SNAP challenge day 1

I haven't gone shopping for the challenge yet -- however, I want to get started today. Breakfast for me was 2 eggs scrambled and a stewed apple with cinnamon. eggs were purchased at .42/doz at Aldi's a couple weeks ago apples were $3.49/3 lbs at Aldi's a couple weeks ago So breakfast for me today eggs 7 cents (3.5 cents each) apple approx. 44 cents. 51 cents for the food and a bit more for spray for cooking the eggs and the cinnamon I added to the apple.. . I will round it off at 55 cents for breakfast.

Hello again

I have been thinking of doing the SNAP challenge again, so I thought I'd revisit my abandoned blog LOL. Last challenge got me quite a few horrid comments, so we shall see if I actually post my meals, etc. during the challenge.
