What did you eat today: Coffee, Boxed mac and cheese with frozen peas, one slice of Whole Foods pizza.
How is the experience: So far, difficult! Living in DC, it is difficult to find anything to eat that is less than $4.30. While when divided, my mac and cheese and frozen peas only came to to about .60, I did not feel full or healthy afterwards. The pizza was the only thing I could find that would not break my daily budget and would be ready quickly. I feel that living on food stamps requires extreme planning and preparation, which most people on food stamps do not have the time to do. At the end of the day, I feel low in energy and not as ready to take on the week as I usually am. I am anxious to see what the rest of this experience brings!
