Okay, today is much better. I'm no longer sick and I actually made it to the store. Thank goodness for Aldi's and there low prices. I know I must sound like a commercial, but it is what it is. Today I spent $30.38. That brings my total to $72.38 minus $4.00 that was previously added in for tax. My total expenses are $68.38. I feel fantastic. My plan was to be very conservative, because the weekends are always the hardest to save money and I was afraid I would be out before we made it there. One thing I have been aware of throughout this challenge is the nagging stress that is ever present. Far away, yet present in my mind is this constant murmur about food: "Will there be enough? Is Leo, my 38 lb five year old getting enough food? Will we make it through the weekend?" I can imagine what someone feels like dealing with this on a regular basis...stressed!
Again, I am thankful for what I have and I wish everyone could have a full belly.
