Take the Food Stamp Challenge! Can you live on just $1.85 a meal?
Be CentsAble.com challenges you to live on a food stamp budget for one week. Buy your groceries using the maximum Food Stamp benefit for your household size. For a household of one, that's $38.75 for the week, or $5.54 per day or $1.85 per meal. You can do it using the stacking strategy from the Be CentsAble website. Be CentsAble was started by two metro moms who challenged themselves to cut their family food budgets by half. Many families in America struggle to put food on the table. After the challenge, consider using your cost-saving strategies to buy food to donate to organizations that help fight hunger, like the Harvesters Food Network.
Regional Director Melissa Banks has a recipe for fruit fondue that's easy and family friendly:
Fruit Fondue:
Blend half a bag of frozen fruit, your choice, in the blender. Blend in whipped topping at a ratio of about half and half. Then use dippers of your choice to dip in your fondue. Good dippers are things like bagels, waffles, pretzels or graham crackers. Kids love this and can even help make it.
