I used to have a very limited diet in grad school, I’d make a big pot of veg soup for the week with v8 as the broth. Then sandwiches and Doritos for lunch. I have no idea if I even had more than a glass of milk for breakfast, I believe I had cereal. Often it’s the diversity of food that adds to the cost. I usually got one bag of salad for the week as well. As a special treat I’d get jr mints from the vending in the afternoon.

Now my goodness..no way I could eat like that because instead of eating to live it’s more like live to eat.
