I was lookin' at spending for 3 days. I cry when I go grocery shopping. I'm a cook, so it's really hard to come up with meals. It kills me to cook a full healthy meal 3 times a day, when I know I have to come home and cook a meal knowing we're living on barely the minimal, including milk, eggs and bread. I used to do pretty well with the budget, but the way things are nowadays, and my health issues, we're struggling bad!!!!! I'd go fishing, but I can't afford the license. A month? I was lookin’ at spending for 3 days. I cry when I go grocery shopping.

(longer if you change the ratio). With the other 6 bucks you can get a can of powdered meal replacements to mix with milk. At least you would be getting your nutrients. Other than that, I can see no way $20 buck would work. I think I could live on that for ONE month, but I couldn't see doing it for much longer. With the other $2 bucks you could treat yourself to a coffee and scoop up as many creams, sugars, sweeteners as you can. NO, I couldn't even last a week. I'm spoiled rotten for sure.
