I remember back when I was in the Marine Corps, at the ripe old age of 20, I was on deployment to Yuma, AZ and ran out of money a week before I got paid again. With my last 5 dollars, I went to the commissary and bought a loaf of bread, some Peanut butter, and some Jelly, and made that stretch for five whole days! Wasn't easy, but when you don't have any money, you do what you got to do.
Now, that I'm on the road so much, I'm finding out that the cost of living on the road is more than it use to be. Now, just about every time I stop to eat, it cost me about 7 to 8 dollars, and in some cases, even more! If you do the math on that, If I only ate twice a day, I would spend an estimated 112$ a week at 8 bucks a meal, twice a day. And that don't even count any extra stops for drinks or other snacks.
So how am I going to try and counter this expense problem?

PB & J!!!
That's right, if I was able to make it a whole week when I was in the military, I figure I could at least save myself a few meals by making me a PB & J sandwich at least once a day, leaving me only to have to buy 1 meal a day. If I can pull this off, I should save over 50$ a week! Wish me luck on my new PB & J diet!
