Hello to Suzanne & my fellow classmates! I just wanted to share a little bit about myself in regards to grocery shopping/menu planning before we officially begin this challenge on Monday.
My husband & I are incredibly blessed in that we have not had to rely on federal assistance to provide our groceries from week-to-week--not to say it won't ever happen! It's safe to say that we can go into a grocery store and half-way look at the prices and still manage to get by. We are fortunate to be able to sometimes plan dinners for our friends & family and even give into our sweet tooth every now and then. I know that so many American families cannot say the same.
This is why I am so excited (and nervous!) about taking this challenge. It's so important that we--not just as social workers but as a people--experience other's hardships in order to broaden our perceptions and understandings so that we never forget the "welfare of humanity"!
