I just came across a web site that gives you lots of search opportunity. If you are on a very limited budget at the bottom of the page you can put in cost per serving such as 0.20 per serving and it will give you recipes that you can use for that little.

Another site that I read said that if you want to eat healthy start first with the weekly specials on vegitables. Get as many as you can afford. Then check the weekly specials on whole grains, then check weekly specials on fruits and then legumes, last meat, if you can afford it.

I cooked .50 cents worth of garbanzo's yesterday. I have enough for to add to a main dish meal and I made a nice batch of hummus. Garlic, lemon and ground sesame seeds. I had a nice lunch yesterday and today with the hummus with enough left for at least two more lunches. I also made a cream soup with lima beans, carrots, potato and onion. Very nice on a cold rainy day and will last a few days. I think it might be possible to live on a dollar a day for food, while eating hearty and healthy.
