#1 will have cereal and fruit for breakfast tomorrow and after he has lunch at school, his challenge will be over. He said if he had to do this week over, he would have stuck to just the orange chicken and spaghetti because it went a lot further for one person than he thought it would. If he hadn't purchased hot dogs or buns, he would have had at least another couple dollars to spend. He would have had even more though if he had traded hot dogs for orange chicken, but I think it was worth it to him. We still have leftover spaghetti.
I asked him, "Was it a hard week for you?" He said, "No, not really. It was pretty nice." I guess he liked being in control of what he was eating.
It sounds like a hassle, but I'm really excited to start the next challenge tomorrow!
Good job #1! Once all of the boys have a chance to try it out, are you going to have them do it again? Then they can compare what they did the first time with the second time? I am interested to see how it goes with #2 since he likes everything you make. Good luck #2!

DeleteHi Maria! I think after this is over, I will have the boys take turns doing menus for the family, which I think is also one of the Cub Scout requirements. We'll set a budget together for the week and see what awesome deals we can find together. :)
