Yes, it's entirely possible, but dependent upon where you live and what your standard for acceptable food is.
My father is retired and living on social security in the state of Oregon and his food bill runs him about 75 dollars a month (keep in mind Oregon has some of the highest grocery bills in the country).
Learn to cook from scratch, buy dry beans and rice, use coupons and special deals, it's totally possible here in the USA.

Of course learn how to cook and buy in bulk and seperate what ever it may be that you know will not be ate in one meal. I spend about $425. a month and I cook a home cooked meal every night. I am not sure where you are at, but obviously you have the internet to look up recepies and if you have a Dierbergs nearby they have great recipes for free also on a spinning shelf.

Is it "cheating" if I say, "stay under your skill"? that is in simple terms "one component," whether it encompasses tremendously much each thing. human beings enormously stay at or perhaps pass into debt to stay above their skill. Skipping the steak is in simple terms area of it. purchase a house that suits your desires, yet isn't "each thing you may handle to pay for to make money on." a greater homestead would not advise a extra helpful existence. It does determine greater heating and cooling charges and the linked impact on the ambience, and extra attempt and cloth to maintain it. till you may haul a horse trailer a pair of situations each week, you will possibly be able to desire to hire a %.-up once you opt for it, and shop the gas the different ninety 8% of the time once you do not. in simple terms because of the fact which you will possibly be able to make money on a Hummer would not advise you incredibly choose one to get from element a to indicate b. paying for used while functional isn't in simple terms low priced, whether it retains issues out of the landfill, and conserves the components that pass into new. not in simple terms that, yet antiques have a charm of their own, and "classic" is often extra sturdy than new. in simple terms because of the fact which you may "handle to pay for" to run the air conditioner all spring would not advise which you will. In a dry climate, in simple terms open a window in nighttime, and go away it open till 10 or 11 AM, and you have decreased the choose for "climate administration." One tip, one existence determination, yet many many effective impacts.

It depends where you live, and how much you eat...
If you're careful with you budget, yes...just remember that household things are in the grocery store, too. (dishliquid, lightbulbs, toilet paper...etc)
