The Big $25 a Week Challenge

Okay, so further to my last post ...

The challenge to eat well on $25 a week begins. Updates on this site regularly.

The objective is to do it while balancing quality of life. This is not about deprivation. This is about enhancing quality of life. It's not about beans for the sake of saving money. It's about "What am I missing because I don't know this kind of food very well?"

It's also about redistributing my money so I'm not spending so much money on food. So I can spend my money on other things.

And, of course, it's about living with less because that's good for the planet. And that enhances my quality of life to know I'm putting my money where my mouth is in terms of living sustainably.

I may find out that $25 a month means poverty. I may find out that it's not enough to satisfy basic nutritional requirements. The formula may end up being wrong. But at least I'll know. And at the end of this, I'll have a whole bunch of new information which will be useful.

Whatever the outcome, I'll share the results (and the recipes). Stay tuned.

Here, on day 1 ... I'm feeling like this will be a fun.
