Maybe some of our U.S. cousins can help me out on this one.

I've watched a few videos by a super frugal couple based in the U.S. They posted up that when they got married in the early 1990's they had to get by on $1000 per month. They itemized their monthly budget and showed that the two of them only spent $50 per month on food.

My comeback was unless you raise most of your food I didn't see how that was possible. The answer was the food was all bought.

I smell a rat that they're playing with the numbers to get more subscribers. I asked them what they were eating let's see what if any response I get.

What say you?

Well that depends on the variables. 1000 dollars for food only? no rent, utilities etc.

 

[bill from lachine]

OV,

they were paying $400 for rent, x amount for utilities, etc...and only $50 per month for food for 2 people....lol.

So that works out to like $1.66 per day for 6 meals or 28 cents per meal.....the numbers don't add up me thinks they're conning their subscribers.

 

[Sheperdess]

I'd say lots of eggs.

 

[bill from lachine]

Yep,

That's what I thought....lol.

I'd say lots of eggs.

 

[pepperj]

I'd say lots of eggs.

We have one customer, 4 dozen eggs a week. The 50 isn't going to far at 50 cents an egg.

There's no way they can healthy, unless they're dumpster diving.

$50 could also buy quite a bit more back in the 90s though... according to Food Groceries and Toiletries in the 1990's prices 60 examples from The People History Site a dozen eggs cost about a buck. Still, it does seem like their numbers could have been "adjusted" slightly.

 

[pepperj]

Bill years ago we used to spend $1200 a month for the 2 of us. I just vacuumed sealed 55 lbs of nuts yesterday. I think they aline were $675.00.
Crazy prices for good food..

 

[Fat]

I'd say lots of eggs.

....and the cartons they came in. I bet they say paper when asked that choice, maybe even a plain old cardboard sandwich..
2 people $50 a week is hardly more than a jug of milk, a loaf of bread and a stick of butter 3 times a week?

 

[Sheperdess]

What about dog food? Or they could have done lots of fishing?
