The Joy of PB&J
For almost two weeks I have survived on a diet consisting of mainly peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It is cheap and fairly good for you. I have saved on average around 50 dollars a week by packing these sandwiches to school and work. I discovered that I would not die from only eating two sandwiches a day. Better yet I have also managed to lose some weight. A good pb&j can keep you going for at least 12 hours with limited stomach pain. My diet used to consist of at least one sometimes two fast food meals. I never realized how much money this was costing me. Then it hit me if I was not spending so much money on food I would be able to buy things I actually want. I could one day buy a car. The snow is not so great for my scooter. If I live on pb&j sandwiches for the next three years I will be able to afford a car. There are a few things that I do to ensure that the sandwiches are up to par. First I always us raspberry jelly on my sandwiches because it is the most delectable. Also keeping the sandwich in a Tupperware and not a plastic baggy will ensure that there is no smashing during the day. Last I eat is slowly so it will fill me up more. I would suggest to all of you to find out how much money you are spending on food and stop.

Drinking lots of water fills you up too (in addition to your PB&J). Refreshing.
