[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I did check at my local Giant and no gift card was available yet.  I will check again.  Surprisingly, things got a bit worse, but we are surviving.  DD had a bday party sleepover to attend, so I was off the hook for dinner and the following b'fast.  I just nibbled on some shredded cheese I found and rice.  I was not able to spend my $20 on food as I thought I could.  Someone was suppose to bring DD home from sleepover (on other side of town) and couldn't so I had to get her (had to use gas I wasn't planning on, had to then put about $5 to hopefully make it to Thurs.  Nope, gas light is on, have to put another $5 in), then I realized that it's now Dec, and she needed a new student metro card for school.  Didn't have the $30 so I put $12 on metro card for her to get back and worth.  So, wasn't able to buy any food.  Told DD she HAS to eat the school lunch regardless of how horrible it tastes.  Made fried rice with my rice, egg, onion and soy sauce.  That was Sun and Monday.  Tonight I'll give her the spaghetti noodles with sauce and some of the canned green beans.  Someone had a party at work today so I filled up there so I'm good until tomorrow evening.  While I was not able to try any of these great ideas, I again want to thank everyone.  I will check again at Giant tonight to see if gift card is there.  We are almost at the end.  This has made me realize just how close to being "homeless" I really am.  This food crisis was because my car battery died and it costed me $121 for a new one (obviously not in the "budget"), and stuff just went downhill from there.[/quote]
