About Me

I am working toward my MSSW from The University of TN. As part of a course, I am taking part in a food stamp challenge. This requires me to spend a mere $21 on food for 7 days. I am married to my college sweetheart, and we have a very cute puppy. Neither my husband nor the puppy will be joining me in this challenge!

Day 4 or 7

Breakfast: breakfast sandwich on honey wheat with egg and cheese
Lunch: frozen dinner with two slices of bread
Snack(!): three slices of cheese
Dinner: Wheat linguine with tuna and tomatoes.  (kind of like shrimp scampi...except with tuna and tomatoes).  I know it sounds gross, but it's cheap and fairly good.

I have no idea how peolpe do this 24/7, 365 days a year.  I know that $21 per week is pitiful, but I can't imagine doing it with children.  What about pregnant women?  Always hungry, but unable to provide even the most basic of things.  I didn't think to buy milk for the week, but that would have taken a few dollars from the budget.
