3 Meals a Day = $10 a Week

Saw this on my local news last night and thought that it was too fantastic to be real, but the guy is a chef, so I'm willing to follow along and see what happens. I will say this, I got to tell my husband "see there!" when the guy said that he spent $100 a week on food and I manage to feed a family of four for just a little over that (and he usually complains). Go figure. My husband is waiting anxiously (for me) to hear the recipe for egg-drop soup...
