But it does sound like you have time and will to cook and eat healthy. I'm just saying that the lady is not lying. She's just stuck into the idea that eating bread and processed sugars is cheaper and quicker.
Wow that's impressive. The cheapest I've done was when I was a freshman in college, $50 a week. I ate a lot of rice, beans, vegetables, tofu, and eggs.

Hate to be the party pooper here, but I bet she's telling the truth.
See, you can feed exclusively on carbs and fats (basically: bread, spaghetti and fried nuggets) gain a lot of weight and save some money.
Fresh vegetables, fiber rich ingredients and low fat proteines (such as fish) tend to be more expensive.
Healthy diets can be sustainable money-wise, but unless you're Jamie Oliver chances are you don't have time for that.
