RE: $29/Week SNAP Food Stamp Challenge – Week 2 – Days 1 & 2
I created an extra challenge, that being I can only shop at the 99 Cents Only store. This is not a full grocer, it basically sells everything for $1. I did it to simulate those people on a real food stamp budget that have no local supermarkets. Living in what is known as a 'food desert'.
The 99 Cents Only store has some great deals, and also plenty of lousy ones where you can get stuff cheaper at a normal market. They also have no fresh meat and just a limited selection of produce.
Ya I remember grabbing some dried pineapple package awhile back from my local dollar tree. It wasn't half bad. They have some tuna and crackers as well. That is cool best wishes getonthetrain!!
