Day 5 and 6 Breakfasts
We had coffee and tea, as usual for both days. I had one fruit leather strip for .50 We really aren't huge eaters in the morning.
Total for breakfast: .50
Remaining Food Stamps: $21.84Day 5 and 6 Lunches
On day 5 for lunch we had leftover cabbage soup (FREE).
On day 6 we had leftover cucumber salad (FREE).
I am seeing how great leftovers can be and soups really seem to stretch the best. I like this idea!
Day 5 and 6 Dinners
Dinner for day 5 was cucumber salad. We bought enough cucumber salad to feed eight people. The cucumbers were $2 (.50 each x4). The rest of the ingredients were condiments which don't count toward our total. We also had rice (one bag for $1.49) and still have rice leftover for tomorrow.
Dinner on day 6, we splurged. We feel a little guilty but we needed something junk food like. So we had gluten-free cheese pizza. The dough mix was $3.79, the sauce was $2.39 and the cheese was $3.99 for a total of $10.17, which isn't as bad as expected since the cheese was on sale. I felt like I ate a horse! It was very good!
My friend made chicken Parmesan and I have to tell you, that was hard! I stared at it longingly and wandered back up to my apartment knowing I couldn't eat it. I love her chicken Parmesan! *sniffle*
Total for dinners: $13.66
Remaining food stamps: $8.18 (OUCH!)
