Here we go again . . .

It has been a month since I ended the first round of the Food Stamp Challenge.

I am committed to giving it another go around, starting Monday, in part because I want to see if I can eat better on my Food Stamp Budget now that the farmers markets are open.  I am also going to grow some of my food in my garden plot at church (if it ever gets dry enough to plant!)

Seeds and seedlings that provide food are things you can purchase with food stamps.  Of course, seedlings are not cheap, and either way the cost will bite into my food budget, but I am hoping that come, say, July, I have fresh produce that helps me eat healthier on my limited budget.

So, if you are new to this, we are talking about a food budget of $21 a week.  And I am curious (please post below), how much do you typically spend on groceries each week?  For how many people?  And what is a typical menu like at your house?

Please share your thoughts with me!
