i can't believe i found a way to salvage the diet with less than $13 for the week.

i've had to cut out guava since mid-month, partly because i'm not even sure anybody's carrying it. i might be down to the walmart, only. if i can't find guava anymore (i live in canada...it's exported from mexico.....), i'm going to need to pull the c up a tad with extra strawberries, and maybe extra raspberries. for now, i'm just sort of taking the hit, although i've taken the strawberries up by 50% (partly because i needed to use them up). i mean, it's going from 250% of the rdi to 200%...but i want to keep those numbers up...

and, i've been putting tomatoes in the pasta bowl recently, but they're not calculated. they're on sale, and i might barely be able to squeeze a few in, but i'll probably have to put them aside. i'm definitely not going to have space for blueberries this week.

otherwise, i need

- 2 kiwis (<$1)
- 10 smallish avocadoes  (<$6)
- 6 medium-to-small bananas (<$1.00)
- a very small clove of garlic (<$0.50)
- 1 container of strawberries ($3)
========================
<$11.50

if it comes in close to $11, i might have enough for 4 tomatoes.

i'm exhausted. really. i do not feel good. but, i need to get this blood work done and then take a deep breath and figure out how bad it is.
