Comments on: Two Weeks on $10 http://www.matthuggins.com/two-weeks-on-10/ The visions and progression of an aspiring Internet entrepreneur Wed, 08 Sep 2010 08:21:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Christine http://www.matthuggins.com/two-weeks-on-10/comment-page-1/#comment-4396 Christine Mon, 06 Aug 2007 01:06:44 +0000 http://www.matthuggins.com/2007/05/02/two-weeks-on-10/#comment-4396 When my kids were younger I made about $350.00 a week and it was simply not enough. I usually only had around $30-50 dollars a week for groceries. you can survive if you buy a lot of breakfast foods. eggs, cereal, pancakes, oatmeal, bread, cheap peanut butter and jelly. a sandwich a day kept the belly fed. these products go along way. every once in awhile I would splurge a little on bacon. I would still help people less fortunate that me on my income. When my kids were younger I made about $350.00 a week and it was simply not enough.

That's definitely not the intention, but I do know what you mean! Cristina - I can imagine that trying to tackle a challenge like this would be difficult if you have kids! I suppose you could always continue to feed your children on a standard diet without restricting your funds while attempting it if you really wanted to try something like this. And yeah, I know it can seem like so much money is being spent at the grocery store, especially when I can go somewhere easy like Taco Bell and get a 79 cent meal.

I'd be "game" to participate in this type of challenge, but not right now -- I have 2 kids in diapers... We wouldn't last 1 week, let alone 2, unless we had a huge stash of Pampers and lots of milk BEFORE the challenge (is that cheating?)!! Doesn't it suck that it costs so much to eat well ('well' as in 'healthy')? I spent over $200 on groceries yesterday, but it was almost all fresh produce and meat. I COULD have spent a lot less, buying KD, pasta, potatoes, etc... but honestly, I don't need a starch- and carb-loaded diet to make things worse (read sentence above re: 2 kids -- 1 toddler, 1 newborn)!! No wonder North Americans (especially the less wealthy) are so fat. Don’t let my husband read these blogs… he’ll insist we try!!!

I'm much happier in my delusional wastefulness. Eating out is the biggest waste ever if you don't enjoy it, but the most essential spend of your money if you do.
