I'm a full-time college student right now and while I've been enjoying myself lately, the truth is I want to save some money so I can spend a week in Berkeley for the Direct Action Everywhere conference after the semester ends, plus my normal summer transition needs.
So....I already know how to do things like make deodorant and toothpaste, to save money that way.
HOWEVER - this is the crazy part - I want to try to get my food budget to $25 a week. I've done things like this before but not for months on end. That's what makes it crazy, not doing it for a week or two, but doing it for four months...
SO I need help, friends, in planning groceries and menus so that I'm not eating the same exact thing every week. The surest way to blow a food budget is to feel starved or bored.
If anyone can provide insight in how to make this easier, let me know!
