I'm subsisting entirely on GS's ($2.oo bags of Southern Blend Greens from Trader Joe's lasts me 2-3 days!), oatmeal (I top it with raisins/agave nectar and soak it in water), tomato soup (tomatoes and a pinch of cashews, basically), and salads.

My monthly food budget right now is $200 and honestly - I can do it with MUCH, MUCH LESS!!!

$200.oo seems outrageously high to me now that I'm 3/4 of the way through the month and realising I could have done it even MORE easily on $150.oo

The only reason I've even come close to using the full $200 is because I was silly enough to buy salads/misc. food out at a restaurant during the first week of January... I've cleaned up my act (and my diet) in the last ten days and it's been GREAT!!!

Hey, full-time students - we can SO pull this off. :D
