I ran across this on the Consumerist earlier…
In September the Illinois Food Bank Association challenged Illinoisans to try surviving on only $25 a week for food! According to them $25 a week is the average weekly food stamp benefit that an individual receives in Illinois.
The economies of scale that come with our family size make this slightly less impossible but only slightly. I still wouldn’t want to have to try this for any length of time.
So how well would you be able to eat on $3.50 a day? (And if you’re going to claim that you’re doing this, please tell the rest of us how!)
