If you only had $2.00 to spend for two per day on food, how would you do it?
A video about a couple spending 30.00 a month per person on food in the US, sparked my curiosity. They basically lived off ramen noodles and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and lost like 16 pounds in a month.
I decided to see how I could do but on a better nutritious scale. It was a little hard but possible. I did assume that salt, sugar, pepper, and oil, water was already readily available as well as a daily vitamin (to cover any vitamin deficiencies)
The problem I ran into was that you really had to buy in bulk (a two months supply to really average out to $2.00 a day and buy when on sale or on discount for things like meat, and milk.
But with that in mind here is what I could afford. I could cook at least 2 or more different dishes a day for 10 days then repeat it again until the 30 days were up. I was impressed. If you had 2.00 to spend a day, what would you spend it on.
Rice (20lb)
onions (3 bags)
2lb garlic-bulk
eggs (3 dozen)
milk (2 gallon)
potatoes (4 bags)
Tomato (1lb)
Ginger (1lb)
farina (cream of wheat) (2lb)
Flat Rice (1lb)
chicken legs (2 family packs)
yogurt
wheat flour (6lb- different assortment)
Loaf of bread (2)
Ramen noodles (8 packs)
Canned tuna
Lentils,Dall (6lbs)
