Hello all and welcome to my first blog ever! My name is Kristy and I am a student at The University of Tennessee in the MSSW program. This blog will detail my experience on "The Food Stamp Challenge". Which means for one week, I will live as if I were on food stamps only $21 for a weeks worth of food.

Day 1

First day hasn't been too bad.  I woke up late, so I didn't get to cook my egg for my breakfast sandwich.  I normally don't eat breakfast until around 10 and I'm not sure I can cook the egg in the microwave (I may need to google that).  I may need to cook the egg the night before and put it in a baggie.  I made my coffee this morning, foregoing my Dunkin Donut Caramel Latte (oh how I missed thee this morning).  I'm sitting at my desk about to eat my lunch, which consists of Ramen noodles, crackers and a glass of diet coke.  I forgot to account for my water club dues at work.  I pay $5 a month to participate in the water club, so I'll need to deduct $1.25 from the little bit that I had saved ($2.17) for my ICECF (In Case of Emergency Chocolate Fund).

  2. I think I'm going to have to implement your emergency fund idea (after the challenge of course - is it Monday yet?)!
