One dollar a day diet project

I spent yesterday reading the blog of a young couple who tried living on a dollar a day for a month. That was $1.00 each. http://onedollaradaydietproject.com
I think this is an interesting concept. It certainly got me to thinking how I would eat on $1.00 a day. Legumes and brown rice are a big part of my diet but I also eat a lot of fruit and vegitables. They drank tang for vitamin C and several people commented that if they only went out and picked a few pine needles they could make tea and get their vitamin C. I have pine trees but another way to get your vegies is sprouts. It made me get busy and start some lentil sprouts. They sprout easily and are inexpensive. I also cooked some garbanzo's last night and made hummus this morning. I love hummus and I think hummus on toast with sprouts would make a very good meal.
Another blog I found said that if you have a crockpot and a bread machine you can eat very cheaply. Home made bread is good and healthy and I cook beans and soup overnight very often in my crockpot.
