Food Emergency in the form of a Lunchable

Well, I was waiting to see who was going to need an additional food item this week and it turned out to be Ashton.  He had to bring a Lunchable to school due to a post field trip snack.  Oh, and the Lunchable couldn't be the $2.00 selection but had to include a juice drink and be packaged in the neat, factory sealed box.  That cost us $3.29, so now my remaining budget is $10.72.  I am so thankful for the refund that we received from the taxes that I initially calculated (remember, SNAP receipients don't pay taxes on food), and I am even more thankful that I didn't eat at the restaurant yesterday or we would have been all but flat broke today!
