SNAP Challenge - Can you live on a $4 a day food budget?

September is Hunger Action Month and today is the kick-off day for Foodshare's SNAP Challenge.  Many of Foodshare's volunteer Board of Directors and our employees will be taking part in the challenge this week, attempting to live on a food budget of $4.00 per person per day. 

When we originally planned this, I fully expected to be one of them.  As it turns out, for health reasons, I am on a special diet, and I know it can't be done on the SNAP budget.  So, sadly, I'm not joining the rest of the team in this endeavor.

I know it can't be done because I have taken part in the SNAP Challenge before, back when the budget was $3.00 per day.  You can read about my efforts here (just click on next day when you get to the bottom of the page to work your way through my week).

If you are taking part, please share your stories with us!
