        Let's break that down...$75 a week is $10.71 per day. That is $3.57 per meal for 1 person (at 3 meals a day if you are extremely lucky). However, if you are a family of 4, then that only gives everyone $0.89 per meal. Rarely can you buy a single avocado for this price :(

        Best thing then is to put his family on a 75 Can dollar food budget for a couple of years. He and his family can eat his words!

        It's all relative. Countries with higher wages, have higher costs of living.

        Do you REALLY believe that ? Go home and ask your wife what she spends per week. Then you can come back on Twitter and apologize for your ignorance.

        I don’t know. One could, barely, but the question is if they should. “Can a family thrive instead of survive on $75/wk? He obviously is not the grocery shopper of the household.
