First Entry

Hello!  Today is my first day for the Poverty Challenge and I'm feeling a bit nervous. I got up this morning and went through the coupons in the weekend flyers in preparation for going to do some grocery shopping.  I found a coupon for Shoppers Drug Mart for eggs - 1:88 a dozen and have clipped it out.  Teds has some good buys on whole chickens, lettuce and yogurt so I'm going to drop by there as well. I am going to make roast chicken for dinner and hopefully there will be enough to last me for a couple of days.  A friend told me the Jubilee Church serves meals today to anyone in need so I am going to drop in there too.
