A lot of people have tried ( and most have failed) to eat on a buck a day ( or some other low budget amount). Most resort to eating food that is terrible and unhealthy. What if I try to eat WELL on a buck. Can I do it?G.C.noreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450083670835510271.post-33072182783940120212011-08-12T21:55:00.000-07:002011-08-12T21:57:59.281-07:00Is eating well on a dollar a day impossible? Not at all. More and more people are showing it can be done. For example "The Coupon Man" can eat well on a dollar a day or less. Who is the Coupon Man? <br /> <br />Well I came across <a href="http://www.takepart.com/news/2010/07/20/who-eats-well-on-a-dollar-a-day-the-coupon-man-can">this article</a> called "Who Eats Well on a Dollar a Day? The Coupon Man Can." Check out the article. Interesting stuff about a guy who has this eating on a dollar a day thing all figured out.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7450083670835510271-3307218278394012021?l=eatingwellonabuck.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>G.C.noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450083670835510271.post-24876925443322929532011-01-18T23:12:00.000-08:002009-09-11T22:07:03.773-07:00(This Introduction post is future dated. Read below for updates)<br /><br />I keep seeing all these sites and blogs about eating for a dollar a day. My spin ( I'm sure others have done the same but I don't really follow that many blogs), though hardly orginal, is to eat WELL on $1 a day.<br /><br />What defines "well"? Well... for this blog I am going to define it in 2 ways: 1. Eating Quality Food. 2. Eating Fairly Healthy.<br /><br />I am going to try to eat and create menus that include food that is palatable and includes very little "junk food."<br /><br />I am a little...oh, not sure what the right word is. Let's just say I don't like when people make it seem like you can't eat well cheap. Or that healthy foods are more expensive and unavailable to poor people ( well, sometimes they are, but that's another issue that I will definitely get into later), that eating cheap requires extreme calorie restriction, or that junk and/or desperation food ( ramen noodles, beans&amp;rice, etc) are the only options.<br /><br />I will expand more on this intro post later, add some links, and all that good stuff. I just wanted to get something down to kickoff this blog.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7450083670835510271-2487692544332292953?l=eatingwellonabuck.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>G.C.noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450083670835510271.post-32405335342435386142008-08-06T23:21:00.000-07:002008-08-06T23:23:23.454-07:00It is NOT easy at all to eat well or eat at all for a buck a day. I start this blog because I was sick of people ruining their health by seeing how cheaply they could eat by eating junk.<br /><br />I stand by my belief that it is NOT expensive to eat well with proper planning and food preparation. I just don't think 1 dollar is doable. I do think there are healthier alternatives to what others are doing though.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7450083670835510271-3240533534243538614?l=eatingwellonabuck.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>G.C.noreply@blogger.com0
