So, Last night I bought some raisins to put in my oatmeal for sugar and flavor, I got more carrots and an apple and orange. I also bought some mustard for the sandwiches. I have realized that I miss all of the little flavors in food, for instance, last night the beans and rice were OK, but I really wanted my hot sauce or something to spice it up more.
So, today we each had about the same meals for breakfast and lunch as we did yesterday, with one coffee each. So far today we have spent $6.12. That leaves us $5.88 for dinner. We need to go shopping!
I miss all of my daily indulgences, like a good cup of coffee, a soda or a snack in the afternoon, or just generally being able to buy and eat what I feel like! I have to think about this all day- how to make things last, how much money we have left, etc. I certainly have a lot more empathy for those who do not get to eat whatever or whenever. Figuring out what and when your next meal is going to be becomes the only thing I can think of. So, now we are hungry...off to the store!
