I fed myself on $2 a day for a month — here are my 9 best tips for making it work - Business Insider
Yeah, exactly.Beans, rice, pasta, and oat meal are all cheap. The key is how many serving sizes are in these items. You can get 70 servings out of a 5 pound bag of rice. 8 servings from a one dollar box of whole wheat pasta.
Then from there, you can add your veggies, meats, etc. I think $2 bucks is unreasonable, but $5-6 a day can very easily be done. $2 is the extreme and would take the fun out of food.

So basically, he skipped veggies & protein (except peanut butter), and lived off of bland pasta with no real additives.
I give him credit for doing it, but it's not sustainable.
The Peanut Butter was a good call I think, though.
Yeah, agreed.Lack of proper nutrition, while making your diet cheap could impact your health long term and end up costing you more to be honest.
I always get my recommended 3 cups of veggies a day and two-three fruits. Dairy, meat (usually chicken and fish and the occasional spoil of steak).
Pish. Try the college student diet:
1 pack of ramen noodles, and a glass of water; times three. That's less than $2.00 a day. You'll even have some change left over for a snacker from a candy machine.
Mmmm, college! I lived on hot dog fried rice at home but, fortunately, scored a restaurant job to round things out.

I would say that I feed my family of four for about...10 bucks a day, possibly even less. And having kids in school makes it HARD, because of the no nut/soy/nut product rule.
And we eat well. In CT. One of the most expensive states to live in.
You gotta know how to make food. And that's what so many people lack.

2 dollars a day can actually be done with a non ramen budget. I used to make cowboy stew, which was a stew made of rice noodles tomato sauce potatos and watever else could be thrown in. If made in bulk, it could make enough to be frozen for 4 people for less than a dollar a day, that is here in texas anyways, grocery prices might be much higher elsewhere.
More evidence that food stamps are way too easy and breeding dependence.
bean soup on the other hand, boiled for 24 hours with a ham bone for flavor, i could eat that every day.
can i have some cornbread with that?
only if made in cast iron, otherwise it is yankee spoon bread.
