It turns out they did even better than that. They met all the goals and even met a total of 52 grams of fiber! But did they stay under $4? It turns out they spent $3.74 for the day! As for what they took away from the experience, Matt wanted everyone to know that while it was tough, it was certainly doable. All it takes is a little planning.
