Eating For $2 A Day (Full Week)
Julia Pacheco
EATING FOR $2 A DAY FOR A FULL WEEK. IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE IN 2026? LET'S GET COOKING!
Eating for $1 a Day in 2023! https://youtu.be/FGXZHn7l_M8
This week I’m living on just two dollars a day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, everything I eat. I’m doing this for anyone who needs to stick to an extreme grocery budget for a week or two and wants real ideas to get through it. I want to see how this actually goes, how I feel, how filling the meals are, and whether I can keep them nutrient dense and delicious. Come with me to WinCo. I’ve never done an extreme budget challenge there before. I usually shop at Walmart since it’s closer, but I’ve had tons of requests to try WinCo. It’s about 35 to 45 minutes away, but their prices are incredible and their slogan is “24 Hour Savings,” so let’s head inside and see what we can make happen. Let’s get cooking 💙
