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 4 concludes

I joined in the birthday celebration today and ate a cupcake.  I calculated the cost and need to add 58 cents to my budget.  I had Ramen noodles and saltines for lunch and raviolis for dinner.  The worst part about this is really the choices are just limited and the same things gets monotonous.  I think I'm a little over $21 for total spent, though I still have enough food for the rest of the experiment.

Day 4

Something interesting happened this morning, I actually woke up feeling hungry.  I have never really been a breakfast eater and often go without breakfast if I've had my coffee.  I woke up today thinking, gosh, I'm hungry that's odd.  Then I got to thinking either I typically eat too much which is why I stay full longer or I'm not getting enough to eat.  Either way, it's getting me off schedule.  I ate an egg sandwich for breakfast and then had my coffee.  Lunch today is Ramen noodles and dinner will be cheese ravioli.
