$1 a day for food for 30 days. Can you do it?

[jtvang125]

If someone made you a bet that you can only spend $1 a day on food and you must endure it for 30 days. You can use a $1 daily or save up a whole week and then spend it. Your choice.

 

[rasczak]

i would die. the next day.

 

[SpunkyJones]

I don't think I'd last through the first breakfast.

 

[darkxshade]

Sure if by bet you mean some reward that's worth my while if I pull it off.

Edit: Is it cheating if I get free food from some program since this is more about expenditures then the food itself?

 

[radioouman]

I'm sure that I would survive, but I wouldn't be happy about it.
Also, if this is a bet, what do I get for doing this?

 

[PepePeru]

Anyone could.

Not many would.

 

[rh71]

I get dollar menu items all the time, but who can really live a whole day eating 1 item and nothing else? Technically yes, but it'd have to be for a wad of cash.

 

[Riverhound777]

That would be pretty damn hard to do. Would have to be worth it. I'd do it for $1000. Would pretty much have to live off Rice and pasta with limited spices. Would get old fast without much flavor like sauce.

 

[spaceman]

ya yeah
id creep that taco bell chick stalker style for 89 cent burrito
or id eat fuckin garbage
10 packs ramen
i could get prolly drunk and eat like shiat for 40 day 30 dolla

 

[Imp]

If I convert the dollar to 100 pennies, then make a blackjack out of it, probably.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

am i allowed to steal food from the fridge at work?

 

[SandEagle]

i would die. the next day.

u promise?





jk

 

[GiggleGirl]

ummm in essence thats 30 or 31 dollars... you go grocery shopping at the beginning of the month and buy really cheap items... and then you get free shit from other ppl. WIN

 

[darkxshade]

I would buy everything in a supermarket and probably the most generic and cheapest brand I could find so for $30 I could prob get:

A Quart of oatmeal
3-5lb bag of rice
Lots of beans

I'd prob have about $15 left and I'd try to partition that into at least 15 days worth of meals. The longer I make it last, the more I can indulge with my remaining $15 as I near my goal. But like I said, the bet would have to be worth my while for me to do this to myself.

 

[killster1]

sure it would not be hard but the problem is i only drink bottled water i guess for the bet i would drink tap water heh. Get tortillas and 5 dozen eggs some rice and hot sauce. Tho i dont recommend eating to much eggs since its really bad for you with all the shit they put in eggs now days

 

[Blackjack200]

Best way to do it would be to buy a quart of whole milk a day. ~ 760 calories a day. It would be extremely unpleasent, but you would probably survive.

 

[AnMig]

You could probably eat adequately in a 3rd world country with a ridiculous exchange rate.

 

[lxskllr]

I could do it easily. The question is on the pay off though. I wouldn't do it for nothing.

You would be starving on a 760 cal/day liquid only diet for 30 days straight.

I think that might be cheating...



I could do it, but it would be pretty miserable. I could buy nothing but rice and frozen vegetables and survive, but I'd probably be getting pretty thin and sickly by the end of 30 days.

 

[SagaLore]

Easy. You can buy a lot of carb, protein and fiber rich food on a budget of $30.

- 2 bags of yukon gold potatoes $10
- large bag of brown rice $5
- large box of oatmeal $5
- large box of raisins $4
- 1 carton of eggs $3
- 1 tub of butter $3

30 days no problem.

 

[summit]

eggs, rice, ground pork. but that'd get repetitive.

 

[lyssword]

As a poor college student I survived on $30-50 a month for a couple years now. Buy food in bulk (and share between 4 ppl), look for sales, etc.. peanut butter/jelly, hotdogs, burritos, pasta, ramen soup, bread, canned beef soups, eggs, sometimes fruit like apples/bananas, potatoes/fries, milk/cereal that's on sale.

 

[lxskllr]

Assuming you start with $1, and accumulate money as the month progresses, I'd start with one of those cheapo 6 packs of ramen. That's less than $1. I'd eat those while I accumulated money for better food.

Good point, I assumed you start with $30 and make it last 30 days... if you get $1/day that's a game changer.
