I spent only $4 a day on food for a week - and it was grueling
Paltrow dropped out after four days when she realized her seven limes and bundle of greens was unsustainable for an entire week.
I decided to craft a more realistic grocery list and give the challenge a go.
SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) recipients receive a daily average of $4.17, so I decided to limit myself to a budget of $29.19.
Since this challenge is an extreme version of the realities that low-income families face (the SNAP program is meant to be supplemental), I know that this week will not authentically replicate food insecurity. I do hope that it will help me better understand the day-to-day struggles that millions of people living off SNAP benefits face.
