We're poor as. Like right now, we're really excited because we found enough money to get hot dogs and a few packs of ramen.
We're both really, really bad at making our food stamps stretch and part of that is not having the slightest what to cook and what will last and stuff. Rhay can cook, but she doesn't know what to make. We've tried looking up "things on a budget" online, but one that was really good that we found, the person was in the UK so all the things were entirely different, including wtf you can easily get in stores. And the other, the person claimed to be doing "organic living on a budget!", yet her budget was $125 per week. Gee, if we had that freaking much to spend a week, we wouldn't have a problem, now would we?
And it's further complicated by the fact I'm lactose intolerant. Lactaid pills make it possible to eat some things (like cheese, depending), but I try to make those stretch as long as possible. And I've got gastroparesis, which means my diet is supposed to be as low-fiber and low-fat as it can, so I can't eat a lot of vegetables or fruits easily, especially raw.
So yeah...I'm lost.
