Eating on a dollar a day

Okay. So i read this sweet thing on yahoo about some couple eating food for a month. Throughout that month they only spent 30 dollars. A dollar a day. how is this possible? What goes through your head when you are deciding to do this? I couldn't do it. This is more important than college bowls. Sorry if anyone actually cared about those bowl reviews. I'll do 'em eventually.

Yea. so eating one dollar worth of food each day is pretty sweet. The people who did where some young couple who are both high school teachers. Why did they do this? Well, they said that they wanted a challenge, and spending too much money on groceries just happened to come up. What a good idea. That feat is definitely worthy of respect. What did they eat? Every morning the couple had plain oatmeal. This costs approximately nine cents. For lunch they had pb and j. (25 cents) Everyday. I can't stand more than one of those sandwiches. For dinner they had canned beans and fajitas. (40 cents, about) They had no fresh fruit. In order to get vitamin C, the couple had to drink Tang. And they said they hated it! 

First of all, this is a job well done for the couple. Very good job. But. Who hates Tang? I don't! How can a person enjoy plain oatmeal every single day and hate Tang. It should be the highlight or your day, not the worst part. Ah. oh well. I wish i could do this. But i just eat too much. 

The husband than admitted to losing 14 pounds in this month of eating little. That is very unhealthy. Not a good idea. Well, that is a product of eating things with very low nutritional value. 

I wish i could do something like this. If anyone reading this has another idea that is similar to this, and if it would help me save money please post. I'll consider doing it. Thanks
