Heres the situation; my dad is in the Air Force and he went on a mission to Greenland for 2 weeks to get some cash to pull us out of dept. He left me 100$ for food and a little bit left in kitchen. Is it possible for me to survive off of 100$ for 2 weeks? (1 person, just me) Now I was thinking of spending 50$ a week on food from Wal-Mart,Aldis,Price Chopper or which ever place is cheapest, or I can spend roughly 7$ a day on food from fast food joints or pizza or something of that matter. What do you guys think I should do and how I shuld spend my money for food. Please any and all advice is greatly appreciated :] And befor you go and call child services on my dad for leaving me all alone for 2 weeks know this, i am 18 years old and do not need supervision lol

Spend like $50 a week on some basics, (Bread, fruits, milk, etc.) And if you have enough left, add some flavor boosters. (Like, cheese, butter, jam, etc.)

You can live for 2 weeks with fast food. lol or maybe cup ramen. $100 is enough for 2 weeks.

Definitely cook yourself. More nutritious, actually not that slow, less expensive. If not, then cup ramen :D Oh, and do you have to pay for bills? O_O

I know of a family with 4 people that has to get round with $90 a week every single week. That's $45 a person for 2 weeks. You can survive with your $100... And you don't even have to eat crappy food.

To tell ya the truth BRO, eating wise, I only use about $20 per week (it's fast food too!). That $100 is more than enough to last you about a month. Unless you are very huge man and need like 2x the food I eat, OR if you are extremely hungry. :3

okay, so get cup of noodles for breakfast lunch and dinner one day, and then go to Mickey D's the other day. on the noodles day, drink lots of tap water, at McDonalds, get a soda or whatever. So it be 1.50 the first day, and it be 4 bucks the next day, so 5.50 for 2 days meaning, it would be 77 dollars for 2 weeks :D

This is a laughable situation you're in, I eat healthy for less than $100 every 2 weeks, you should easily be able to figure things out yourself, especially since you're a cook.

First of all, don't eat crap. Get yourself rice,pasta and noodles. You'll pretty much live of this. Then get milk, bread and cereal, these are your basics, maybe $30 max. You're set for breakfast. For lunch and dinner get some basic veg (carrots beans broccoli etc.) to go with the noodles/rice/ pasta. Should be about another 20 - 30 dollars. Get some pasta sauce, tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, PB/J if you feel like sandwiches. For drink try to just stick with water, it's better for you anyway. So you need: - Cereal $5 - Milk $3 - Bread $3 - Pack of Pasta $5? - Rice $5 - Noodles $5 - Vegetables $20 - Etc cheese lettuce and stuff $10-15 Pasta/Rice/Noodles for lunch and dinner you can cook so spaghetti fried rice stirfries noodles whatever . Snacks would be sandwiches, get some eggs too so you can make an omelette/ scrambled etc. Btw, I do reccomend buyig pasta rice and noodles I don't know if that'll fit into your budget, 2 out of 3 should be enough. Also get some meat as well to add into whatever. I apologise for bad grammar/ spelling because I am on my iPod and it's hard to type. :l

Buy a bunch of cold cuts at the supermarket and bread to make urself sandwiches. And drink tap water. And also get different types of meats cuz ham would proly get boring after a couple of days haha.
