As part of the Real Food Stamp Challenge, my goal is to live on our food stamp budget of $662 per month for 10 people (plus WIC).
We spent $60 this week, but I didn’t buy very much meat so I’m sure it will be higher next week!

My cleaning tip this week?  Get someone else to do it.
In our house, the slaves progeny do a lot of the work.  [...]
