Poverty Challenge - Day 3

It's day 3 of the poverty challenge.  I will have a balance of $1.60 at the end of today to go foraging at the grocery store for some additions to the pantry.  I still have a lot of rice left and a good amount of split peas (had a near miss when I burned the pot of split peas last night, but scraped off the parts that were still good).  I think they'll last me the rest of the week, so I am hoping to buy a piece of fruit tonight.  To think of a grapefruit as an investment is a new experience for me, but I'm really looking forward to it.  I could cut it in half and have it for two whole days! - My mouth is already watering!

So far I've already been craving: Donuts, Chips, Blue Cheese, Olives, and...Pickles.  Weird, I know!  Still going strong!  Most people only make it about 1 week on the Poverty Challenge otherwise known as the Live Below the Line Challenge. So far I'm more than halfway to their goal, but I want to make it longer.  Please help keep my spirits up by donating to my chosen charity!  Link below...
