Eat for Cheap

This is for those who are trying to eat healthy on a budget.


I decided not to include condiments b/c they will last me much longer than a week (more like months).

Spent: $43.65
Minus Condiments and paper towel: $11
Plus cost of fruits i already have: roughly $4
Grand total: approx. $37

Starting Date : Monday May 4, 2009
Ending Date: Sunday May 10, 2009

if u trying to loose weight/stay healthy u need to stay away from velveta, whip cream, pork chop, ground meat, heavy whipping cream, and miracle whip. u should have gotten lentils($1), beans($1), whole wheat pasta ($3), frozen veges.

good job with the soy sauce, the tuna, the chicken and the other things u got.

Didnt plan well. I am looking around for ideas and realize I do wayyy better than you! Dont give up however. Planning takes time and even I binge shop and then trash out of guilt. Hint. I LIVE off of eggs and toast and Yops and bananas. I also dont cook meat. Too much work. Take Care!

good job on RAW fruits and veggies! Dont cooK-you'll destroy all the enzymes, vitamins, phytonutrients etc...please watch "The World According to Monsanto" Genetically Engineered Foods (Corn, Soy, Canola, etc) causing liver and kidney failure and deaths in laboratory animals, commercial farms and wildlife being fed GMO Corn etc

I am definitely inspired! I'm gonna buy some groceries, and reply to this vid, cause this is a great idea! You gotta let us know how the week worked out. Again, great job!

This is a great video. Your food looks great and healthy. I'm totally going to try and get my groceries for $40 next time I go shopping. I think it's true that it helps if you figure out what you want to eat before hand and also look at the circular or online for the weekly specials at your local grocery store.
