$25 to eat

[Jazzy]

You have $25 to eat for 10 days, what do you buy?

 

[Evil Eye]

A loaf of bread - maybe two, butter, and cheese. That'll give me toast, sandwiches, and grilled cheese sandwiches, which should be enough to cover breakfast and lunch for 10 days.

Uhm... that leaves me around $2/day to get dinner. I could get a kilo of potatoes for $2, or some spaghetti or rice, so that'd probably be all right.

I'll just copy your plan EE!

Were we supposed to buy drink as well?

 

[Dee]

Rice, eggs, bread, milk, cheese, frozen vegetables, pasta, beans. If you buy all generic, you can really stretch your dime!

Cheese, bread, tomatoes, ham, bacon, eggs, meat for hamburgers and some coke.

We've done this, recently, except, there were two of us.

Hit the market early one morning.

Nail the "manager specials" in the meat and produce sections. Check for sales on bulk frozen veggies. Get store brand beans and rice and canned "rotel" tomatoes.

And pick up a store brand 'box' of chicken broth.

DO NOT BUY: overpriced name brand stuff, anything that is mostly added sugar, etc.

Cook or freeze anything overly perishable, and get creative with the spice cabinet.

You'd be surprised what you can do with some basic ingredients.
