Last Day of the Challenge

I have been waiting for this day to come. I have learned a lot from this challenge. I've had the opportunity to see what spending $31 on food for one week is like. I have had the opportunity to witness what it would be like to eat on a budget while everyone else around me did what they wanted. I must say that this challenge made me think smartly on what to get to eat that would last a whole week.  The food that I bought did last the entire week. Although I was a little tired of eating chicken breast and broccoli everyday, it helped save money for the week. I also ate healthier and bought food that could be stretched throughout 7 days. I did experience some headaches, especially on days where I was tired of eating the same food, but I knew I had a budget and there was no way of going over it. That's just how some families live. I could have cheated and went into my pockets, but I wanted to live how those families live who don't have additional money.  They only have what has been given to them. I can see the more I step into someone else's shoes, the more I appreciate everything I do have.
