I hear ya babe. I've been eating ramen noodles and wheat thins for a few weeks now. But Kia's happy with her $20 dog food.

Ramanth, Just be careful not to make yourself sick, they say beans and rice have a lot of complex carbs and proteins and if you buy a big bag of beans and rice its a pretty healthy way of eating cheap.

I was exaggerating a little. I'm actually back on slim fast and that stuff really eats into my budget. But thankfully my future MIL shops at Costco and gets me the cheap stuff so it helps a lot. I snack on fruit, cheese, crackers, and yogurt (I buy when they are on sale) for snacks....

But I have tons of pasta and a few bags of the frozen boneless chicken. It's just inventing new ways to make those two items interesting. I do a lot of seasoning. *laughs*

But it's true. I pay top dollar for the pets and then what's left is what I get. I really make boxed and canned goods stretch...

You sound like me. The pets all get decent food ($30+ for food) which I buy first, my bills come second & I come last. lol

I think slim fast is pretty healthy, I lost a lot of weight on it once long ago...I remember walmart would have good sales on it. There is a forum on slim fast for support.
