GAfter Noon everbody, 77 above and 50-60 mph gusts now.
Blowing topsoil makes arrowheads show little more. Other than that worthless..
Have a great rest of the day...
 

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.
 

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.

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

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..
 

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?
