Day 7 - $2 A Day

No acts of bravery here, just pushing creativity to the limits. This evenings entertainment is brought to you by stifled cravings. Fighting the temptation to break the budget for cookies. Only $0.65 left for the day. So, store bought or homemade, it doesn't matter. A stick of butter alone is $0.50, never mind the four and sugar plus all the other needed ingredients.. I may have to content myself with a bowl of generic frosted flakes, $0.30 including the cup of milk. Or, an iced focha mocha (made with roasted chicory rather than coffee) also 30 cents. The "what treat can I eat and not bust the budget" dilemma at the end of most days is why this is the only experiment I have actually lost a coupla pounds on.
