Final days of the Food Stamp Program

I am at the end of my month of living on $3.00 per day, and it hasn't been easy!

I didn't go food shopping for the final week; my daughter's 16th birthday was on 3/21 and I wanted to be able to go out for dinner with her and her friends. That was $10.00. I spent the other $11.00 on a chicken to roast for Easter, some apples to make a pie, a can of corn, and a jar of gravy. I was fortunate to have some potatoes left over from the previous weeks' shopping.

I haven't had any juice or milk for over a week, which I have really missed.

I will post some "final thoughts" after I reflect upon my experience.

Stay tuned!
