Week 3, Day 1

This week we have two fasting days. Because we fasted yesterday, we only did a half- fast today (meaning we ate dinner) and so we do have a meal. Unfortunately, I was so stressed about Pearl falling off the bed and being sad the rest of the day and my friend having a terrible back that when time came to actually take a picture of dinner, I didn't. Sorry, friends. You may count yourself lucky though because that dinner was Tuna Loaf, a huge favorite of mine that probably looks as good as you think it sounds (and to most people it sounds nasty).

Here's what Tuna Loaf works out to be:

1 can evaporated milk ($0.64)
1/2 stick butter ($0.28)
6 oz cheese ($0.84)
1/2 onion ($0.30)
2 cans tuna ($1.24)
2 pieces of bread ($0.06)
2 eggs ($0.14)
2 cups egg noodles ($0.14)

Tuna Loaf Total $3.64

We also had green beans and so that brings our total up to

Day 1 Total: $4.12

We are probably going to get one more dinner and then a lunch for Paul out of the Tuna Loaf but I'm really having fun making things even cheaper so next time I go to Sam's Club (I have to pick up some contacts in like 10 days or so) I'll pick up a box of powdered milk and instead of paying $0.64 for evaporated milk, we'll only pay $0.14. Worth it! and you can't even tell it's in there.
