This is going to be difficult unless I really commit to the SNAP Challenge. I have already spent $259.55 of our $357 allotment. I have less than $100 left for the entire month of January — $97.45 to be exact! Well, at least I have food in the fridge, freezer and pantry. It’s still going to be tough – I will be using the rest of our allotment on fresh fruits, vegetables and on milk, cereal and bread for my husband. It will be tight, but I am determined to make this work!
In looking over my receipts, I am wondering if I could have not spent a bit of money.
Not counting the money for the extra food for Molly, I could have saved $34.25 and not have changed my life or even felt deprived (but look at her! What would you have done?). So now, the challenge is how to make the $97.45 I have left in my food budget for the month last 4 more weeks! Time to plan some menus!
Happy Cooking!
