This is completly false. A Big Mac Combo is about $7 and that barely feeds 1 person for 1 day. I live off $20 a week for food (I cook a lot), and I can tell you that you can feed a person for about $2 a day no problem. Eating healthy is cheaper then eating crap.


I feed my self AND  my gf for $30 a week and we eat better than a 5 star restaurant.  Everything from scratch.  Pancakes n stuff in the morning,  pizza from scratch, gas grilling, roasting, deep frying, I make my own ice cream!  The stuff I make is not enumurable.  But here's the kicker.  It doesnt take time or hardwork, it takes brains.  I can whip up the most amazing food faster than a trip through the drive through.  Ppl that think they have to read labels need to start reading the recipes on the web. Am I right?

Tone is hard to portray on internet so let me say I am being dead serious here.  I want to emulate this, I cook myself and $30 would be amazing goal for me and my fiancee to eat on.  Right now we vary between $40-60 depending on sales.  So, what are you eating?  How do you cut costs?

You can usualy get a 5lb sake of flour for less than $4. Yeast is cheap too. That's a lot of bread, pizza crust, etc.

If you want to save money on food all you have to do is buy the basic ingredients and cook/bake yourself.
