How would you feed yourself for 8 days with access to only a mini-fridge and microwave?

1 Answer

Answer :

I often purchase microwave dinners, and seldom pay more than $2.50 each. We also have a large supply of canned meals (Progresso soups, Chili, and such, plus canned tuna.) I have a motel basket stocked with plates, silverware and microwave dishes. I take or buy fresh vegetables for salads, and include shredded cheese, crackers, and bread. Don’t forget can opener, knife, cutting board, mayo or butter.
