I'm already getting a bit nervous. I went to the grocery store and already spent $42.00 of my allotment. I'm a bit selective when it comes to three items; milk, meat, and eggs. We have always tried to be humane to our animal friends and select eggs from cage free hens, meat from humanely treated or wild animals, and organic milk because it has a lower pus content (gross, but supposedly true). I shouldn't do this on such a limited budget, but I did. Now comes regret. I used up five more dollars than I needed to. My plan is to make up for these expenditures by being really cheap on everything else. Problem? Yes. My family has a few food allergies. I have to buy rice milk in addition to cow's milk for those that are lactose intolerant. I have to buy sour dough bread in addition to wheat bread for my soy allergy ridden son. I personally could eat nails and be fine.
I'm now aware of the hardship families have when their children suffer from food allergies. I also see why so many people succumb to feeding their children Top Ramon Noodles. Why is unhealthy food the cheapest?
