My last purchase on the SNAP Challenge

Ooops! Sorry folks, looks like I forgot to post a wrap up to my SNAP Challenge! I'll blame the foggy brain on my lack of nutritionally sound food for the past 5 days!


It was the last whole dollar I had to spend, and man can I just tell you... I've never been SO excited to eat a protein bar in my LIFE! Aside from being ravenously hungry, I was so over eating the same combination of food every day. I needed something different and this totally hit the spot. Thanks Luna! I heart you! :)

So, how do I feel now after taking the challenge?

Well, it was definitely a lot harder than I thought it would be. It was a great experience though, and I love that I had the opportunity to raise awareness to the issue of food insecurity and hunger in the broader sense. I would highly recommend the challenge to others. It puts things into perspective in a way you don't expect.

I'm looking forward to chatting with the rest of the Junior League ladies that signed up. I know our experiences were different, as we each chose our grocery lists on our own. It will be interesting to see how they felt about their choices.

Which one of you will be next? I would LOVE to hear your stories if you decide to give it a shot!

xoxo!
Julie :)
