My first big purchase on Tuesday after my Food Stamp Challenge was a Starbuck's non-fat White Chocolate Mocha. I honestly don't buy them all that often because I ususally make coffee in the morning, but it was the fact I could. Plus, I ran out of regular coffee and didn't want to make instant coffee anymore :). I still have to go to the grocery store, which will be my big project today now that I finally have a day off. Again, I learned so much during the past week. I appreciate everyone's comments and encourgement and really it wasn't all that hard, but just an inconvienance at times. I think if I had children to worry about it would be a lot harder because I would worry about getting them the nutrition they need... and if there is one thing I learned eating healthy is not an option on food stamps. Again, I will never take another meal for granted... and waisting food is not an option. I'm sure I will be much more aware of every dollar I spend now on food, which is something I should be doing anyway.

Molly---Congratulations on completing the challenge! My wife and I began this past Sunday, so we've still got Friday and Saturday to complete---I really think we can do it. You have written some great comments and have given a good, first hand report of your experiences throughout the week (helps being a reporter, I would guess!). Either way, thanks for participating along with the rest of us. Great job helping everyone really understand what this challenge is all about.
i like what you said here, '' and if there is one thing I learned eating healthy is not an option on food stamps.'' << truer words couldn't be spoken.
