I've been doing the $5 a day food budget for awhile--just keep track of stuff like calories and protein, as well, so you know you're eating healthy on it. I find I actually eat a whole lot healthier when I'm eating on the cheap than when I was living the more mainstream food budget lifestyle. My main discovery: consider sardines as a cheap food that is full of health benefits, even if you may never have eaten them much before. Also, just in case you aren't that familiar with it, make you sure you know about complementary proteins. Alright man!

I spend so much money on groceries/eating out monthly that is such a waste, if it works out well for you maybe you'll inspire me to try the same! Also, glad you updated! :) Sounds like a great idea!

Think about it... $5 a day, 30 - 31 days in a month, that's $150-$155 a month to survive on. The rest of the paycheck going to those "overhead" fees and debt... the debt should be gone in no time.

There are a number of challenges going on this month that I hope I can overcome. I guess we'll see in the end. I'd like to succeed, but if it's just not possible, failing after giving a good effort is ok with me too. I just hope I don’t end up failing.
