Yesterday we were left with $37.16 to start, less $5.00 for Tilapia we forgot to add in, if anyone is keeping count, so we began yesterday with $32.16.
While I was eating Cheetos last night, Frank was at Sam's Club spending another $8.24.
Now remember, we would not be able to pay the $4.88 (plus tax) for the rotisserie chicken with our SNAP. That chicken would have come out of our $1,256.66, the money someone makes at a $7.25/hr. minimum wage job, money that all the rest of the living expenses come from.
Neither of us spent any of our SNAP money today.
So that leaves us with $23.92 for the next 2 days.
