CWJ Food Bank Challenge: Day 3

The feedback for this challenge has been incredible, I'm loving all of the comments, private messages, texts, and just overall interest that this entire project is receiving so far.  
Yesterday, a friend texted me to let me know that Tuna was on sale at our local Shopper's Drug Mart.  A few different organizations that work with low income family's have reached out to me to show their support, one of the newspapers in town did a feature story,  and Food Banks of Canada is working on setting up a personalized link for this project!  For all the great comments that I have received however, I've also received a bit of flack.  This morning someone commented on the fact that this plan definitely wouldn't work for them because my first meal of the day wasn't until 2pm (you'll notice that yesterday and today it was back to normal times).  The point of this exercise (in addition to raising awareness about the National Hunger Crisis) is to be as real as possible.  It wouldn't be realistic if every single meal was completely structured, at the exact same time, and planned out the day before.  Sure that might happen some days, but my life is chaotic, messy, and completely unscheduled at the best of times.   If you're following along for this experiment, you're going to see my eating habits for exactly what they are - the good, the bad, and even the ugly!  Now onto Day 3!  Breakfast (9:30 am): Total: $1.00
