Wow! A tiring day - I drove to my morning meeting without heat, with 3 out of 4 (!) windows halfway down and made it without freezing to death, but the point was certainly made that not being able to afford to fix the heater in your car when it's -27 C can make things really uncomfortable, to say the least.
Supper tonight was an exact repeat of last night, and just as good, but in order to economize I'm going to be eating the same thing three nights in a row. No wiggle room for variety when you're surviving on $63 for five days worth of food and all other expenses. What I'm able to afford for suppers for Wednesday and Thursday will depend on the challenges I face for the next three days.
My challenges for Sunday and Monday didn't have a $ amount attached to them, but want to be prepared for the next few days, just in case.
Participants have been asked to attempt to stay within a social assistance benefits’ budget. The challenger’s budget of $63 for five days includes all food and drink, entertainment, some personal supplies and transportation costs. Each participant will be given a daily challenge card, which will reveal an additional challenge to be completed before the end of each day. The challenge takes place February 10th until February 15th, 2019.
