Ok, I don't post very often, but this one I figured I would...

As for the $5/week.... I don't think so...you need to be ready to spend a little more. However, my own little alteration to that plan should be doable by most people...I don't break it out by weekly expenditure, but anyone can figure that out....

I also include some "comfort" items....sorry if it doesn't format quite right....

Are you going to be living it up? No. Are you going to starve? Probably not. But more variety than the original posting would have given and easier to use (no grinder needed) <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
