Kids and school lunches

The question has been raised about children who attend school, what to do about lunch? My thought is that if you are on food stamps, the kids would be on free or reduced lunch. Therefore, kids can take money to school to buy the most basic lunch, and it does not count against the $3.

Food Stamp Diet

You are invited to participate in the Food Stamp Diet, March 2-8. The food stamp diet limits you to spending $3 a day for your food and drink. This is what the average American on food stamps receives.

This blog is intended to provide a place for those participating in the food stamp diet to share ideas on expensive food sources and receipts.

For example, last year when I did this I bought all my bread from the day old rack at Kroger.
