How To Eat With $20 A Day For A Family Of Four?

[twinseeker]

When you only have $20 to spare a day for your family of four, then you must start to cook, rather than eat out.

Unless you say, don't know how to cook and must eat out, then I can tell you, you tell the economical rice stall to add more rice and order veges.

Looking at their situation, $20/day for 4, probably means husband & wife need to work to make ends meet. Hence, home cooked meals may not necessarily bring down the costs.

There's gas (cooking) & electricity (refrigeration to keep ingredients fresh, and preserve the packed meals) costs involved. The children with lunchboxes may not have means to preheat their lunchboxes in school.

I have read of reports that parents asking their school kids to pack for them lunch dinner as well from school canteen as it is really cheap and affordable.
:p

The instant noodles look quite delicious. Put some spring onions to add colors to the look. At least I find them less oily than outside food and so much better than mcdonald.
