It felt like a normal day with the exception of kid snacks. Fortunately they didn't ask for any. For those of you who saw today's menu, you may have been surprised to see steak as the main course. This was only possible because of our minuscule meat eating habit. I purchased one flat iron steak today (1.20 lbs) for approximately six dollars. We split the steak five, yes five ways. This is how we have always done it so no one knows any better. We even had three slices left over for my husbands lunch tomorrow. I see single people eating for twenty one dollars a week, which seems nearly impossible. I guess the ration of food is smaller for kids, so we can afford more food using their benefits. I think this would not be possible if I had three teens in the house. I notice that I cut my ration to ensure that our kids will have enough food for the week. Although he never mentioned it, I observed my husband doing the same.
Tomorrow I visit money saving stores such as Aldi's and Easy Way to complete this weeks meals.
