JUNE Food Stamp Challenge....Days Twenty Two & Twenty Three

This post is part of the June Food Stamp Challenge located over HERE.


On Day 22-Tuesday-we had steaks cooked out on the grill.  DH and I shared that Sirloin Tip Steak I bought earlier this month on deep discount.  We also had tossed salads with dressing and leftover potato salad.

Cost of meals on Tuesday for food bought before June....dressing $.50.
Tuesday's 'spending' total=$.50.

On Day 23-Wednesday-I took the last thawed slice of ham chopped it up finely and added it to my famous Mac & Cheese.

I added some steamed broccoli and we had a filling meal that used meat as a garnish or a condiment.


Day 23 food costs for items bought before June......ham Free, half a jar of sauce $.30, block of cheese $1.25, milk $.55, pasta $.50, crackers $.10, half a bag of frozen broccoli $.42.  And we have half a pan of the mac & cheese left to eat later in the week.
Wednesday total=$3.12.

Both Days combined costs....$3.62


On Tuesday we bought milk for $2.19.


Added in that brings our 'spending' for the last 2 days to $5.81.


June Food Stamp Challenge Update
Spent to Date....$180.08
June Food Budget Left....$193.62
Days of Challenge Left....07

Tomorrow I will post & add in all the other food costs for the month.....the cost of the foods we've eaten for breakfast, lunches and snacks that we had on hand before the month started. 
Prepare for the "what is left in the budget" figure to go down significantly!
