" I created Poor Girl Eats Well in August of 2008 as a fun way for me to share how I make it possible to eat quite well despite my limited means. After some bad financial moves of my own and several strokes of really bad luck over the past few years, I ended up in one of the worst personal recessions I have ever been through, and though I’ve always been pretty frugal when it comes to food, I really had to buckle down and force myself to stick to a budget and get really creative if I wanted to eat.
