I just finished reading your fantastic book and am so inspired! My fiance and I have both been trying our best to eat better and less expensively lately. Your book has really gotten my gears turning, so thank you for all your efforts!
Congrats to you two! I followed your blog through your initial experiment and just read your book. Thanks for all of the great ideas!
Can’t live on an average of $1 a day per person for food!? I raised 7 kids for less than that! Milk was the big expense. They ate well – breakfast, lunch & dinner. What do you consider “food?” If you look into a typical basket at the grocery store, about 1/2 isn’t “food.” It’s toilet paper, beer & laundry detergent, etc. If you want to live on < $1 a day, try cooking , not carry-out!
That is a fantastic idea. I can tell you that I have been making diets for 10 years(I am 28 years old).And when I make diet I buy every food more expensively.
Now I will try your idea.If it works or not I will tell you the result.
But I am afraid , though I am in Turkey , and Turkey is cheaper than USA.. What can I eat with 1 dollar a day? Only a coke costs 1 dollar :S
But I will try …
Hey nice blog here and cool posts, thanks for sharing and I’ll be sure to pass this along, take care
Congrats to you two!
