Farmers Market for fruits and vegetables. Water to drink. Done.

I had to do this once in the past. Not the most appetizing diet, but it is healthy and cost effective.

This.

No rules stipulating it needed to be healthy.

[Azadina]

Not even nearly enough for weeks food here.

How much, what was the break down and total, and what did you get?

[s_bushido]

A 10lbs bag of rice is like $5. It would be simple.

spend it on food sustenance and nutrition to survive off for a week. That doesn't need to be a rule that is the actual challenge.

[Fat Mac]

gram of weed.


i failed


but seriously. 2 heads of lettuce, one thing a salad dressing.. the rest spent on 2 for $1 bags of peanuts at the gas station the rest of the week.

[Linri]

20 dollars

a big Bag of rice (5 dollar), chicken buollion cubes (to make stock) (2 dollar) , a few chicken breasts (7 dollar), loaf of cheap bread (99 cents)

15 dollars, eat soup all week, rice chicken meals, chicken sandwich meals

[Elba]

Tap water to drink. Cost nothing.

A pack of toast + a pack of butter + a pack of processed cheese for breakfast and dinner. Cost 4 Euro.

Seven random noodle / canned / frozen meals for lunch. Cost 12-16 Euro.

Easy.

[Deleted]

thats very easy

[Lochton]

Yeah, no, I've lost that this. Even though I am a hawk at bargains, there is no way I can handle with 20 dollars. I could do it smoothly with 40, then again, my country is pricy. Though, can try.

20 dollars = 126 dkk (125,95 kr.)

Bread for 1 week, there is a 'save the food campaign in denmark as permanent, so.

1x Bread bag = 30 kr.
2x Milk = 10 kr. (5 kr. pr. 1 liter).
2x Mince meat = 40 kr. (20 kr. pr. pack).
2x Spaghetti = 10 kr. (5 kr. pr. pack).
3x Cold cut meat = 15 kr. (5 kr. pr. pack)
1x Cheese = 10 kr.
2x Pasata (tomato sauce) = 10 kr. (5 kr. pr. bottle).

Total used but wouldn't be fully satisfied; 125 kr. or, 19,85 USD.

Could make it cheaper, but then I wouldn't get any hunger sated.

I bought a crowbar, a ski mask, and gloves for 15$.

Unless you got your own well, tap water does cost you.

Unless you got your own well, tap water does cost you.

Even then in many areas where I live well water has to run through a water softener to make it drinkable. I don't know if it's like that everywhere or not but it will cost you a bag of water softener salt and the electricity for the pump. This is assuming it's not an old fashion well with a bucket.

~0,2 cent per liter.

Water softener? The hell, America.
