    It may not be the coolest thing in the world to do, but clip coupons. My family saves at least $10 a week - which is actually fairly low compared to some people I know, as we only clip coupons for stuff we like to buy and will eat that week . If you're willing to eat pretty much anything, and stock up on non-perishables, you can really drive your food budget down with just a pair of scissors and the weekend paper.

    The woman who runs this website regularly buys $1-300 worth of groceries and pays 20-50 dollars. She says that on good weeks when there's double coupon days and buy-one-get-one sales and the like, she can actually go shopping for a months worth of food and the grocery store ends up owing her money when she's done.

    On that purchase she bought 34 bucks worth of stuff and ended up paying 3 dollars and change.

    That shit's goddamn crazy.

    The amount of hours she must spend preparing all those coupons must not make it worth it.

    You can live off 6 dollars a day easily if you cook everything yourself, don't buy too much meat, enjoy left overs and never eat out.
