Reply #13: My food budget fluctuates. If things are going okay, I'll spend money on

good food before I put money in a savings account. That doesn't really seem right, but that is what I do. One can have a very good diet on very little money if you are willing to cook and eat nutritious foods that don't really offer taste and variety. If you are trying to survive a low spot, look for green foods and beans and whole grains. Invest in bulk spices for variety. You will be full and healthy.:9
