I don't know if you've noticed, but We Americans are getting larger, and not just in Texas!
I heard on the news recently, that my state of Oklahoma is 2/3 obese or overweight!
I admit I've put on a few pounds too, but this is awful!
I'm taking the SNAP Challenge... LOL...
Can you eat on the allowance amount of the Gov't Food Benefits you would receive?
We are doing it and it's not that difficult. I think I will lose weight though because I'm not spending as much on snacks. I make most everything from scratch though so that really helps.I also know exactly how much per MEAL that I can spend and stick to that budget even if it means compromise.
Figure your food budget for the month, then divide by 31 days NO MATTER HOW MANY DAYS THAT MONTH HAS. It's better to over budget, than to under budget.Then divide by how many meals a day you prefer. I prefer three. That will give you the total amount you have to spend PER MEAL. Think of it as a game! But remember, for many people this is reality. If you pray, pray for change in our Gov't!
Today for lunch, Wee One and I had a family size can of Cream of Chicken Soup with crackers. it was way too much food and filled us up. This totaled less than $2.00 for the soup and about .70 cents for the crackers... with plenty left over.
When I was feeding five people, we were spending less than $500.00 a month on the food bill.
Have fun and SAVE MONEY! Let me know what you're trying.
