One Pound a Day Diet

[Gittins Gal]

£53 a week is easy. £7 a week is a bit tougher Althougg if you get your food fresh from the market it's alot cheaper (80p for a pepper at Tesco!).

Not round here. Our local market is full of stalls run by trendy downshifter types who think it's Borough Market. The prices are inflated accordingly.

£53/week has to cover everything else as well as food, other than your rent. Saying one person can live off £53 at the supermarket each week is easy. You could have steak and wine every night for that budget

£1/day - not TOO hard if you don't have allergies and don't mind eating the same thing several meals/days in a row. If you ruin something, you're stuffed though, you have to eat it anyway. Like the story of some friends who were living on a shoestring and used some crazy chillis, thinking they were regular peppers, in a big dish. That was their food for several days, so they had to eat it.

Things are a trifle cheaper there dear.
