I just ate dinner – lentil soup Kate made last night, and bread, which we buy, three good-sized sandwich loaves for a dollar at our local bodega. We have an advantage over the other fasters. Since there are two of us, we can buy in quantity: rice, pasta, and more lentils than one person could possibly eat. Most nights Kate has made one of these staples into some sort of casserole, which we each take to work for lunch the next day.
This strategy has worked well, although it requires a lot of planning ahead. Last night we sat around the dinner table discussing which of our remaining food we would eat when. The last time I can remember doing that is on a camping trip, which I suppose this resembles in a way.

I'm all about Lentils!
The rule I remember about food on camping trips is to always eat the best goodies in your bag first - no saving rewards for later. That way, you are always treating yourself, because a treat is always relative. Not sure how this translates into reality, or if it should, but I thought I'd share. For some reason, it just stuck with me. - Kate
I agree with Ian about it being easier as a couple. Dan and I save so much on rent, bills and food by being together. It must be a very hard thing to be poor, hungry and alone.
