[b]The crock pot is a waste[/b]. Makes too much and who wants the same thing 5 days in a row for lunch/dinner.

We spend btw $50 - $60 on groceries. About half is spent at Whole Foods on basics. We do minimal amounts of processed food. I buy more fruits than veggies and stick to in season and on sale as much as possible.

I try and coupon but its time consuming so every few months I might score a good deal on something boxed or canned and stock up.

She doesn't have an oven or stove. She basically NEEDS a Crock Pot if she's going to have anything hot that isn't microwaved. And if she's trying to keep her grocery bill at $50/week for two people, leftovers are going to be pretty necessary.[/quote]

+1!!

And nobody normal can live off mostly fruit.  I stay away from much fruit other than bananas because it's too expensive.  We eat lots of rice and beans.  That is by far THE CHEAPEST thing someone can eat other than cereal.[/quote]

Cereal is RIDICULOUSLY expensive. For the number of meals you get out of a box of cereal you can have a chicken breast and veggies or rice for much cheaper and much more nutritious. Ramen is about as cheap as you can go.[/quote]
