Ashamed At My Embarrassment

General InfoBy Jeffrey StrainMay 25, 201045 Comments

I mentioned during my Eating Well On $1 A Day Challenge that men don't buy tampons and my succumbing to buying tampons for a jar of free peanut butter. One of the comments on that post was from Julinda who said: My sister is poor and frequently visits a food pantry. She, like many other…

Eating Well On $1 A Day: Day 24 – One More Week

$1 a day challengeBy Jeffrey StrainMay 25, 20108 Comments

Hard to believe I'm down to the final week. Considering I started this challenge off in the hospital emergency room and I wasn't sure I would make it this far, it is nice to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This also marks the day that I get to…

Eating Well On $1 A Day: Day 23 – Math Deficient, But Lucky

$1 a day challengeBy Jeffrey StrainMay 24, 201014 Comments

I should have known that not paying attention in math class would one day come back to haunt me. My math is so bad that I am seriously considering taking a calculator with me to the store from now on (although that still might not be enough). For awhile I thought I might have to…

Eating Well On $1 A Day: Day 22 – Disaster!

$1 a day challengeBy Jeffrey StrainMay 23, 20107 Comments

I knew that today was going to be a tough day even before it began. I had finished off all my fruit and pasta and was running low on a lot of other things. I figured that for the first time, I would actually be eating like people imagined I would be eating when there…

Eating Well On $1 A Day: Day 21 – Peanut Butter Revelation

$1 a day challengeBy Jeffrey StrainMay 22, 201011 Comments

I love peanut butter. I seriously love the stuff. If I hadn't been able to buy some for this challenge, it would have been immensely more difficult for me to stay on tract. I love peanut butter so much, I was willing to buy tampons to get some for free. I have no problem eating…

Eating Well On $1 A Day: Day 20 – Forgetfulness Is Costly

$1 a day challengeBy Jeffrey StrainMay 21, 201017 Comments

You know when you go on a trip and you forget your toothpaste or something else and you get angry with yourself because you knew you were going to forget something and despite that, you still forgot it? Then you have to go to a local store and pay an outrageous price for whatever you…

Eating Well On $1 A Day: Day 19 – Tough Day

$1 a day challengeBy Jeffrey StrainMay 20, 201012 Comments

As I have mentioned before, I should have thought through that I really don't enjoy shopping or cooking before I decided to attempt this challenge. Add another thing I should have considered to that list: eating on $1 a day is not fun when you move around a lot. I have a house sitting job…

Eating Well On $1 A Day: Day 18 – Disappointment

$1 a day challengeBy Jeffrey StrainMay 19, 20104 Comments

After getting all excited about the Kraft sample pack I received yesterday (and doing my little happiness jig around the house), reality set in when I went to the grocery store to claim my Deli Fresh sandwich meat (I was looking forward to having one for lunch) and finding that the store doesn't stock the…

Eating Well On $1 A Day: Day 17 – Different Perspectives

$1 a day challengeBy Jeffrey StrainMay 18, 201015 Comments

Day 17 proved once again that you look at things from a very different perspective when you are eating on an extremely limited budget. I am still trying to digest the meaning behind the fact that it was worth it to me to buy tampons to get a free jar of peanut butter. Today I…

Eating Well On $1 A Day: Day 16 – Over The Hump

$1 a day challengeBy Jeffrey StrainMay 17, 20104 Comments

Day 16 marks me having passed the half way point of this challenge. It also marks the first day where I am actually under the $1 a day maximum I have to spend on food (16 days, $15.75 spent) which bodes well for me for the rest of this challenge, especially since I have managed…
