On Monday I spent my last $2 on a litre of milk.  Normally I wouldn't think twice about it. If I need milk I get it. How simple that sounds but there were a number of other things I wanted with that $2, like cottage cheese, a couple of bananas, more carrots or fruit, chocolate... Milk won out.  I used some to make up my tomato soup so I could take it with me for lunch with cheese and crackers and my last orange.  Not bad all in all. It was also useful in my kraft dinner for supper. I still have one carrot and an apple.  They will be my lunch treats tomorrow. 
Today was a very busy day and I didn't have time to figure out my lunch this morning, so after an egg and toast for breakfast, it was water until I could get home.  I took the edge off with the last of my crackers and peanut butter.  Then fried potatoes and another egg, the last of the brown beans and toast to finish up the day. 
As I think about the high carbs and few fruits and vegetables it is really easy to see why in the Health Regions Dispairity Report they found that people living in low income neighborhoods are 398% more likely to suffer from diabetes and 134% more likely to contract heart disease.
