1. To extend their life, I hard-boiled some eggs that needed to be used.
2. A few days later, I used some of those eggs to make egg salad.
3. We used a gift card for a seriously reduced meal out.
4. I still have not purchased coffee out in some time.
5. I used ground beef from the freezer, canned beans, and rice to make a recipe from Budget Bytes.

Dear Lindsey, I’ve just learned of your post, looked it up, and also read all the worthy and weighty comments. I could not hold back the tears nor the admiration I have for how you handle every situation, this sad one included. I’m so sorry about your diagnosis and hope they’re wrong again. You have brought so much joy to me (and my Husband, who has become just as invested in your journey through my sharing it with him.) Your words, caring for wounded pups and children, clear instructions for those attempting to follow in your path, tales of Alaska living will,stay with me for a long, long time. I wish you love and peace throughout.
