Experiment

Hello Everyone,
It has been a while since we posted, but we have decided to try and experiment. We have calculated that a family of 7 making $30,000 per year would get approximately $65 worth of food stamps per week. We are trying to live on $65 per week for the next 3 weeks. One of our goals besides seeing how difficult it would be to live on this amount is to see if it is possible to eat somewhat healthy while on a restricted budget. I personally don't see how you could eat very healthy, but we will see. Rebekah thinks we are going to starve to death. We will see how much we save and donate the money to a local food pantry. We usually spend about $125-$140 per week and it just dawned on me that $65 is half what we normally spend. We will try to post our menu and some pictures of what we eat and how we look after losing 20 lbs each! See you tomorrow with a sketch of our menu using the items above at 3 different grocery stores. The above picture came to $62.67. It sure doesn't look like much food.
