Well, I've got a wonderful unexpected medical bill which amounts to just over my month's allowance for food. And while it wouldn't kill me to take the money out of savings, I would rather not. So . . . I'm thinking about going a month without buying any food instead. Unfortunately, I will still have to pay for animal feed costs and I probably won't be able to go without buying milk and cheese, but I think everything else, I can either forage from the slim pickings in the garden right now or just use stored foods (especially the remaining pumpkins and potatoes from last year's garden) . . . and then there are eggs that I could be eating a lot more of (I just don't like eggs that much).
Since I pay for all my food with cash, I am planning to just not take out any cash for about a month (except for the cash I need for animal feed). I am thinking I may buy the milk and cheese using the stray coins that have collected over the years, which I had planned to only break into when things went south.
So, I guess I am looking at this as an opportunity to learn how to feed myself on a drastically reduced income.
If any of you have any tips that you think might help me, I'd love to hear them.
