Our church has given us a challenge through E.L.I. called Love In Action, to live on $2 per day for food. Half of the worlds population does it everyday for their entire living expense. Our challenge is to spend $2 per day per person just for food, for one week.
Yesterday was the first day. As a family, $6 per day (not counting Theo & Cady). It was a slap in the face, we kept saying all day how hungry we were. Today is day 2. We had dinner with Jacobs parents for his Birthday, since this was a FREE meal, we did not have to tap in to our full fund today. We were looking forward to our dinner all day long and man did it feel nice to be full. Say tuned to see how we do. 
I could totally do this .... if all I ate was rice and beans for every meal of the day. LOL That's a great challenge - I don't think I could do it.
