$3ADDP: Day 4

Today husband asked me if he was going to be part of this "sucky poor project" if he could just save up all his food money and spend it on booze instead, you know, live it up right. I think the project is getting to him. Later, in his comical insensitivity asked if he could partake in domestic violence during the project to get a real feel for living under the poverty line.

It seems dear hubby has not only misunderstood the nature of people who live below the poverty line but also misunderstood this project. As his hunger grows, his comprehension of anything related to this project is lost. He ended up having to have a business lunch today with his manager so his totals really go out the window. I'll show you what he was supposed to eat, but I have no idea how much his food today really cost.

You're going to see a quail item in the details of the food I ate today. My mom, who used to own restaurant that she cooked the food for, makes some amazing food. Knowing that I was doing this project, she insisted that I have one quail to split with Josh which she promised was only $0.50 per person. She's too cute.

I also took a bite of my sister's PBJ because she insisted I see whether or not it was still good. It wasn't. The bread was awful. But I am a good food taster.

Lastly, Josh and I went to the Bevmo! $0.05 wine sale to buy wine gifts for people and partook of one of the $0.05 bottles for ourselves. Yes, you might think this is cheating or just pure genius. I mean, we were going to spend the money on the gifts anyway, why not get the extra bottle for $0.05?
