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.
