It totally stunk having to eat minimalist foods while there were plates filled with sub sandwiches and buckets of wings and coolers of beer, but I am living proof that it can be done! You even get a party exemption for this challenge so use it wisely! $10 more, also out of the question. The purpose of the $10 in the first place was not to spend it on staple foods but to buy preserving products (salt, sugar, vinegar, etc.) I have already canned foods that I can't use in the challenge because the dollar cost was not in line with my budget. Anyways if you're starving hungry, or even starving thirsty, all you have to do is concede!Mark Stadulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16415074844485411081noreply@blogger.com
