Another Day Another Lost Dollar!

Mitchell and I went grocery shopping this morning.  I spent over $90.00 and did not get half of the foods I normally do.  I looked for specials, I had my coupon pouch and I had my discount card and still I have hardly any food

We went to three different stores for different things. The first one has pop on sale, the second one has the better meat prices and the other has my household goods. The gas I spend jumping from one place to the next is killing us and the meltdowns that Mitchell has from all the activity is more than I can bare, the empty wallet is screaming at me and my empty stomach is growling.

We live off of one income. I don't think we can make it like this much longer. My mate and I are fighting over money. I fear this recession that has just started is taking the life out of our lives.

To tell you the truth I am hungry. I have to skip meals to make sure others have what they need.

Mitchell has the autism and his eating habits are rock solid and most difficult to break. I keep the boxes of the name brand food and put second rate replacements inside the boxes. He can tell and he won't eat.

I can't deal with this on top of everything else.
