when it comes to a food budget, its not just being good with numbers. if you take reasonably priced ingredients and can only turn them into something that tastes like burnt cardboard it won't matter how disciplined you are... you'll either crack and splurge or go insane after a month.

but yea - just showing how minimum wage can be a living wage.
