bae and Jane, queue up the hair shirt jokes you have on your broken records, cuz here we go!!!!!
Alright: There seemed to be some interest in how I plan to live for one week on $1.75 of groceries.
Here are the rules:
- $1.75 a day. You can spend this all at once, all $12.25 of it or in any increment you choose.
- If others are doing the challenge with you, you can pool your money for bulk buying power. I will be doing it with one person, maybe two.
- You can use the salt, spices, and cooking oil you already have at home
- You cannot accept gifted food
- You cannot scavenge
- You cannot forage
I think that is all the rules.
I have done this three times before. Twice I was successful. But back then it was $1.50 a day, apparently inflation changed it to $1.75.
