can i do it?

i've decided to take the challenge of eating for the next week on only $7 a day: http://www.uwkc.org/newsevents/events/haw/hungerchallenge.asp.

i am sure some people on here won't see this as a challenge, but for me it is. i am an insanely picky eater and very brand loyal. even tho this is only for a week, i am going to have to rethink how i eat. its also going to eliminate going out to eat when i am lazy.

i am hoping to come away from this with some appreciation of what people go thru. and maybe get away from some of my picky habits. and have some spare monies that i can put to good use.

 

I should really take that challenge too. My weakness is takeout and eating at restaurants!

 

its going to take some planning. i could just eat fast food for a meal a day but i want to try to actually eat somewhat healthy.

 

Alright I have committed to doing this also. i am sure together we can make a decent variety of food for cheap. It is actually more than I spent each day eating in college so it should be somewhat ok.

 

Budget and bargin shop. Coupons. I'm sure it can be done, but then again...I never used to eat very much anyway. But thats changing. Good luck. Hopefully you can find something fun to do with the money you save.
