    So do you opt to go the "no cooking" route because you don't have a kitchen or because you don't want to cook? 'Cause there are certainly other things you can add to a "no cook" list if you're willing to put out a little effort and don't mind 'preparing' the foods some.

    I opt out of cooking, because during the Summer, I often camp out in BLM land on my bicycle without room for a stove. There are small backpacking stoves, but I choose not to use them, because the fuel is rather expensive. Although occasionally, I can cook whenever I sleep at a friends house and have a BBQ or party.

    Great tips man. I usually just stick with my Oodle Noodles. I don't even know why people call it that too.

    Hmm, good idea. I'll be trying something like this in the next day or two.

    That is a pretty impressive list for under $5. If you want to eat even more consider couponing. Sign up on some newsletters and request free samples from companies. You can find a bunch of free food samples online. I always have a steady stream of cereal, coffee and granola bar samples coming in my mailbox. They always seem to come in at the perfect time too. Best!

    Nicely done sir! That's a great guide for such a small amount of money. I would suggest a morning sub from subway. They have the 3.65 morning sandwich which comes with a coffee. You can skip the coffee and get the sub for 2.50 and that still leaves you with half of what you started with. You can have your 2 bananas for lunch and keep your dinner the same and still have a couple cents left over for a snack some other day. I say mix it up a bit more.

    You could have a Whopper Jr at Burger King for lunch, and a Double Burger at McDonalds for dinner and still have $3 left over for breakfast. I know that's going to get criticized for being unhealthy, but he did say he's biking. I don't know about you, but if it was between a double burger and a can of tuna most days - guess which one I'm reaching for, lol.
