Too many noodles

Breakfast: 1 piece of toast with peanut butter (again), treated myself to some apple juice! :)

Lunch: Ramen noodles, water from tap

And now it's dinnertime. I was forced to buy a box of Hamburger Helper due to the very limited funds, and I have to say, I am not looking forward to it. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Wow, I just realized that I had noodles for lunch. Guess I really wasn't paying attention to the quality/nutritional value of the food, I was just happy to be eating. What a reality check!

My very first job was working in a grocery store. I worked there for 4 years. And because of this, I suppose I was one of the few that knew not to include tax in my total, haha. Working there I noticed the prevalence of poor meal choices amongst welfare recipients--processed dinners (that was a big one!), sodas, candy, potato chips, etc. Of course this isn't always this case. I wonder if there was a way SNAP could provide incentives for those that buy healthy foods or they could require some sort of meal planning & budgeting class before receiving assistance. Just a thought. Until tomorrow!

P.S. My nephew was selling some chocolate for a fundraiser at school a month or two ago. I bought some, AND it came in tonight. Tonight! Guess I'll just use it as a reward on Monday. :)
