Hungry For a Month
Hungry For a Month is an interesting blog about living on a food budget of $30.00 for 30 days.
This same experiment has been done before. In 1982, Ontario MPP, Richard Johnston publicly highlighted the plight of the poor by going on a one-month "welfare diet," spending only what a typical welfare recipient had available to spend on food. In both instances the participants were forced to eat an unhealthy diet high in carbs, low in vitamins. They both lost weight.

For the month of November, I’m only spending $30 on food. The only exception will be things that are freely available to the average person (salt taken from restaurants, sauce packets from Taco Bell, free coffee from an office). Buying in advance is fine, but at the end of the month, it all has to add up to $30 or less.
