Today, Eva and I stopped at The Dollar Tree because I wanted to start stocking up on survival snacks for my Atlanta road trip.

I will have a small food budget, but I have several days driving to do and several nights in Atlanta to consider. I’m getting nervous because it looks like the hotel charges $35/night parking, $12 a day for internet, and has no free breakfast. I have to remind myself to breath and trust it will all work out.

But since Eva lost her job yesterday, it’s hard not to stress.

So I spent $16.25 at the Dollar Tree:

I bought two small cans of generic Spam and this small bag of coconut flour for the pantry.

Eva loves Spam, so I thought these cans would be useful for when she’s cooking for herself when I’m gone.

And the flour– I have trouble passing up good deals on specialty floor.

The Road Trip Snacks:

• Four bags of snak club tajin gummies. Sweet and spicy to help keep me awake if I get tired driving.
• Two bags of Harvest Snaps, the protein from the snap peas will help hold off hunger.
• Two bags of peanut butter filled pretzels, same logic as the snap peas.
• And the two boxes of fiber bars? That’s 6 little birthday cake bars that really do taste like dessert.
