Hey guys, So I have racked up quite the credit debt right now (readi cash is SO easy to spend!) Whats nice is the interest rate is low but its still a major chunk of change owed.

So I thinking of imposing a budget cut from $50 a week for food to only $20 a week.

My idea is to change out pack of uncooked chicken and making baked chicken rather than getting cold cuts (5 pounds will last me all week lmao) ($10 bucks), a bag of pretzels (~$3 bucks) and lastly 2 loaves of bread ($1 each). All of this and a couple bucks to share the costs of my girlfriends dinner items and I see myself holding close to $20.

Now I know this isn't the only option, nor do I NEED to adhere to $20, any random thoughts you guys have for cheap replacements on foods?

tl;dr- Cost of living + Debt friggen sucks.
