Isnt the web nice how you can hi...Hello Anonymous!<br /><br />Isnt the web nice how you can hide behind the curtain and throw stones?<br /><br />Yay for you and your courage!<br /><br />I'm guessing you didn't read the blog post AT ALL, as I wrote exactly what we bought and exactly what we ate for that week on $20.<br /><br />No fast food. No eating at friends. No "skinny speed freaks". And no "pathological liars".<br /><br />Sorry if you cant pull it off.... dont get mad at me about it.Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095177289743141701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27386498.post-69404440934039480282010-01-29T22:52:08.850-05:002010-01-29T22:52:08.850-05:00What we did in my little town is form buying group...What we did in my little town is form buying groups whereby we went to the management of the somewhat more intimate and locally owned alternative to Mega-Lo-Mart and explained what we were doing and that it arises from a common desire to avoid, if not BOYCOTT the Mega-Lo-Mart. The manager agreed to give our group buyer a 10% store credit rebate each month which goes back into all of our pockets as savings. We save a ton this way by ensuring everything we pay for is from a pre-prepared list with no exceptions. Also there's a Whole Foods about an hour away and we are able to send a buyer at lest 3 times a month to bring back specialty items. As for the idea of buying enough food for 2 or more to live on for a week, there are only 3 reasonable possibilities- Either 1) There is a lot of fast food dining or eating at friend's houses going on that we are not hearing about; or, 2) Everyone being fed in this way is as skinny as a speed freak, and, in fact may well be one; or, 3) Our author is a pathological liar.<br /><br />Nonetheless, her heart is in the right place and I say bless her heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27386498.post-1168525119850153002007-01-11T09:18:00.000-05:002007-01-11T09:18:00.000-05:00You said the 'W' word!!

Chicken live...My jaw dropped when I read that list. Chicken liver here costs 99p, so I guess $1.70 (ish?) for 400g. I hate this country and its crazy pricing sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Still, back in the days before people read my blog, I did a similar thing and managed breakfast lunch and dinner for a week on about £18, eating well. I should try it again soon- and this time, chicken liver will feature!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27386498.post-1168428454231240712007-01-10T06:27:00.000-05:002007-01-10T06:27:00.000-05:00that's awesome! i totally agree with you about the...that's awesome! i totally agree with you about the yummy organs. it sucks to have to go to walmart, and i think they are despicable, but when the budgets tight they really do offer much cheaper options. :-( it's just a moral sacrifice. Tyler and I fed ourselves for generally 30-40 dollars a week in college shopping at super walmart. i hate to admit that, but sometimes, when you're just that broke, it happens! i can't wait to see all the dishes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27386498.post-1168393785799780772007-01-09T20:49:00.000-05:002007-01-09T20:49:00.000-05:00I would've used that extra $2 on a scratcher!
