Wow that would be challenging!. Lets see if you could get 20 items for $20 you could probably do it!. Might not be eating healthy but you could do it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no its not eating healthy but you are getting a meal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It won't taste good, but you can eat beans, rice, noodles, cheap pasta sauce, no meat, wonder bread or no name brands or store brands, you'd have to watch sales closely and eat little, use coupons and look for stores that honor double coupons, bring a calculator!. If you got a sack of potatoes, you could make that last a week but you'll probably never want to see a potato again after the week!.
If you are smart and frugle, and willing to make sacrifices on health and taste, you can do it!. These are hard times!.

You have to try and figure it out!.

you would have to buy a bag of rice!.

There is only two of us and i spend about $120 every two weeks plus i buy extras in between, like more milk, bread and veggies!.

You'd probably have to eat vegetarian, and don't buy your veggies at the grocery store, you might have to go to a china town!.

Happy cooking and good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com

It is possible but the food isn't going to have a lot of variety of be very fun!. If you are willing to shop in bulk and us coupons that really helps!. My husband and I major coupon clippers and we spend about $45 a week, but if we didn't use coupons it would be more like $60 to $65 a weekWww@FoodAQ@Com

It would be hard to do, I imagine you could get close to that if you buy dry beans and rice (brown rice) and flavor it with different spices!. Buy canned tomatoes for the sauce base!. Can add veggies to vary the dish, too!.

Sadly, no!. I used to love going grocery shopping and I hate it with a purple passion now!. Everything is so outrageously expensive!. Take advantage of sales, use coupons, and shop somewhere that they have a "store club" for more discounts!. Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah, plenty of soup and Macaroni and Cheese!.
Granted, not a good diet but oh forgot the milk and bread as well!.
Nutrient-wise, no not good but you still get most of the vitamins and minerals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no way!.!.!.!.

me and my boyfriend spend at least 50 a week!.!.!.

and thats on the weeks i dont need to buy laundry soap, fabric softer, kleenex, tissue, deoderant, shampoo!. conditioner!.!.!. because thats 50 bucks right there!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You could if you had no other choice!. Ramen Noodles, rice, tuna fish sandwiches, eggs!.!.!.!.!.You do what you have to do, if it's all you have!. It is possible, but challenging!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If your living on Ramon noddles

my household is 2 people and tho I know we spend a little more because we are both vegetarians just to give you an idea we spend about $100 a week and eat one meal a week out (extra 30-90)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would say it would be realistic to keep a week worth of groceries for a-
bout $50-$60 for two people!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Totally impossible!. Everything is so expensive!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

doubt it, i spent an average of 140 a week and its just me, my husband and 7 month old baby!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

if u went to costco most likely but wouldnt be that healthy but the food would last longWww@FoodAQ@Com
