One Dollar Diet Project

I read article in the New York Times about a California couple who decided to live on $1 of food a day as an experiment in poverty. They used it as a fundraiser for a local charity. The pair subsisted primarily on rice, beans, and peanut butter sandwiches, but managed to make it work. Since my income is about to be reduced, I am especially intrigued by the recipe section. $1 a day is a little bit of a stretch, but $5 is doable with a little planning.
