Feed a Family of 4 on $10 a Day?

Posted on 9/21/2010 by Greg Hudson
I stumbled upon an article today on Moneywatch.com, a branch of CBS news, that was titled “Feed a Family of 4 on $10 a Day.” I thought to myself “is this really possible?”

Here are some the the ways they said you could do it:

- Eggs. Since you can by them for as cheap as $99 cents per dozen, they are great for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

- Canned beans. 79 cents for a 16 oz. can.

- A five-pound roasting chicken. At $5, it can be enough for 2 dinners.
Throw in some vegetables or potatoes.

- Oatmeal. At $4, you have about 30 servings. Much cheaper than cereal.

- Bananas. At 49 cents a pound, you have your self a very cheap snack.

Maybe not the best sounding meal/snack ideas but you’re not going to have to shell out wads of dollars on this plan.
