After all the suggestions that were made here, I'd almost like to see if I could do a week for $20. The problem is that my freezer and pantry are well stocked so it would be difficult to know whether I was truly limiting myself to $20 for the week. Still, I should get in the habit of cutting back since I've been unemployed for 3-1/2 months and who knows when I'll get a job.
I also read that blog of the person who spent only $30 for the entire month. That was impressive but I could never live on that diet. For one, I suffer from celiac disease (no wheat, barley, rye, oats) so I'd never be able to eat regular bread or regular pasta. My bread and pasta cost 4-10 times what the regular stuff does.
