A blogger from Lansing Michigan decided to spend only $30 on food for the month of November, just to see what it was like being poor. It's an interesting read.

"For the month of November, I'm only spending $30 on food. The only exception will be things that are freely available to the average person (salt taken from restaurants, sauce packets from Taco Bell, free coffee from an office). Buying in advance is fine, but at the end of the month, it all has to add up to $30 or less."
