A blogger named Evan tried, and succeeded. Check out his blog at http://www.hungryforamonth.blogspot.com/

For the month of November, I’m only spending $30 on food. The only exception will be things that are freely available to the average person (salt taken from restaurants, sauce packets from Taco Bell, free coffee from an office). Buying in advance is fine, but at the end of the month, it all has to add up to $30 or less.

Here is the really cool part, he actually did it for less that $30:

For those who care, the total amount I spent on food this month was $27.28. That’s about 93 cents a day, although I still have quite a bit of food left over. I also lost about 18 pounds this month.

And, drum roll please, here is my favorite part, Evan took the amount of money that he normally spends each month on food and donated the difference to his local food bank.
