I was inspired by the $25 Challenge I read from a MSN Money Central blog post. The Illinois food bank did a challenge to simulate how the life would be like to be living on food stamps – $25 a week just for food.
Six of our close friends in Toronto, Canada, agreed to participate in this social challenge. Starting Monday, we will commence our challenge.
Calvin helped me to plan with an Excel spreadsheet and I had my breakfast planned out and I spent a few hours on the Sunday night preparing for my lunches from Monday to Wednesday. I will continue to my experience via Twitter.
- I know my sweet spot is chocolate. Since I’m not a coffee drinker, so chocolate is my caffeine source. I bought a 99 cents Hazelnut chocolate and 99 cents gingerbread cookies from Ikea today. I have meticulously separated them equally for this week. I got exactly 4 squares of chocolate and 5 pieces of cookies.
Let’s see how we all hold out. We are aiming to have a potluck on Wednesday or Friday to cheer up everyone.
