you guys eat ramen for every meal? how is that possible?
we eat steak, hamburgers, fries, pizza, spaghetti, chicken stir fry, rice, hot dogs, hot pockets, egg rolls, sandwiches, cereal, pop tarts, bagels, eggs, sausage, hash browns, bacon, soda, soup, lettuce, tacos, wings, crackers, chips, salsa, cheez whiz, etc etc
the list goes on..
on $4 a day? are you sharing a pop tart between the two of you?
If you shop at grocery with good prices and buy in bulk.
Steak is spendy though.
But think about it.
If you buy a big bag, you can get chicken breasts for like $3 a pound.
One chicken breast is only like 1/4 of a pound, so that's 75 cents.
One potato probably costs 10 cents.
Veggies or salad for one is probably 30 cents.
Add in the cost of butter, seasonings, whatever else,
and you can probably make yourself a good dinner for under $2.
And if you eat pasta, it's even cheaper.
Spaghetti, marinara sauce, and a couple of meatballs probably runs around $1 for one person.
Eggs and toast is probably 50 cents worth of food.
Pancakes for one person is probably 30 cents.
Shopping smart, you can eat really cheap and still get good food.
But if you are eating a 16 oz NY steak for dinner every night, it's obviously going to be a lot more expensive.
