i can find a few... my mothers 2nd ex husbands daughters were dumb as a brick, i wouldn't put it passed them.
i'm a college student, money used to be very tight for me, especially when i had no job and all i was doing for money was day trading, durring those few months where income was sketchy at best, i lived on pasta. i'd pick up a small portion of meat, and a lot of pasta, i can make about a gallon of good meat marinara for about 5 bucks, pasta as we all know is dirty cheep, i could live off $40 a week, it was rough, and it sucked, but i did it.
this morning, i had shrimp Alfredo, a quarter pound of shrimp goes a long way if you slice it right, splash of cream, cheep white wine (2 buck chuck), salt and pepper, and were finished at about $5
however, not many people know how to make a good tasting meal for cheep, they'd rather go to a fast food place that tastes 'good' (i can't stand fast food, makes me sick every time) then take the time to make it them selves. remember a lot of the low income families, have 2 or 3 jobs, and have no real free time after work, so fast food is a quick alternative.
