Most people in the US are within a bicycle ride from a Walmart or similar discounter. (New York City is a notable exception). So $5 is has similar buying power throughout the US.
I know because I spent 5 months cycling through the US on a tiny budget.
For calories you would buy ramen noodles. Aim for 2000 calories per day or more.
For Vitamins and fibre, buy apples ($1.11 per pound). At least one apple per day.
An iceberg lettuce every 10 days or so is a good idea.
What does that average to ? Maybe $5 a day ??
- Retric 7y agoIt really comes down to population density. I grew up about 1.5 hours from DC and it was a 25 mile trip to any big box store. In part this is because of how roads are laid out, if you need to get to a bridge that can be a significant detour.
