Okay, now this is getting a bit better (now that I am eating). It seems that beans can indeed soak for an awful long time.
I ate a lot of soup/stew last night and was not really hungry this AM. I did eat a two-egg cheese omelet that hit the spot though. Today for lunch it was my not so healthy "Ramen" noodles but again, it filled me up and I am not now thinking of gnawing off my arm to stay alive. Dinner tonight is going to be either my last potato baked or more stew. An issue I have seen with only $20 in groceries is that my options are limited. I still technically have $1.46 left so I might stop by the grocery store tonight and see what I can splurge on!!!
I have to admit my opinion of this challenge has changed. I went from total disbelief that anyone could sustain themselves to now knowing that I will get through the five days on this $20 but it is NOT easy. One truly has to watch what they buy and that lesson has not been lost on me. I wish I would have gotten my wife involved and perhaps we will do our own SNAP challenge after this.
