Little side note since some asked how people could do it for under 75.00 a week to maybe make some people think.
In California at least the state only gives families 21.00 per person per week. That is 3.00 a day or 1.00 a meal if they eat 3 meals a day. I learned this after participating in the hunger challenge the San Fransisco food bank did with recipes etc. I.E. try eating for a week or longer on that budget. Was sort of a wake up call to me, and really makes me rethink everything my parents had to deal with when I was a kid and us on welfare. Wife and I did the challenge for a full month. That was a serious learning lesson.
