Actually, if I really try I can keep my food bill remarkably low- I don’t eat breakfast and sometimes I don’t eat lunch either. I typically eat dinner and a snack and sometimes lunch too. I have about 1,000 or less food calories a day I think? I don’t count calories anymore per se, but based on what I eat and how much I eat, I average 700-1,000 calories a day, depending on the day.

All that to say that if I really tried, I could make $5 a day or less work for food. If I buy in bulk and with sales, I spend about $50 per paycheck on food, and that’s like… two weeks? So $100 per month for food if I budget right, and I bet I could make do with even less. I could probably get down to $75/month?
