One Dollar Diet Project
by E
This is the dollar a day food diet. Two high school Social Studies teachers came up with it. They aren’t attempting to lose weight here. They’re just very concerned about food—and what it entails to eat it for less than a dollar a day.
Today we start our 30 day challenge of a one dollar diet. This means that for the month of September we will each have one dollar to spend on our daily allotment of food.
When we first started talking about doing this, we didn’t really have an agenda, or any developed sense of why we wanted to do it. It just seemed like an interesting challenge; one that would force us to see things differently.
We are interested in many of the strands related to this experiment; food choices, consumerism, waste, poverty, social psychology, etc., and this experience may provide insights that could help us better understand and teach about a variety of concerns (we both teach Social Justice in a public high school).
Here are the rules:
1. All food consumed each day must total $1 for each of us.
2. We cannot accept free food or “donated” food unless it is available for everyone in our area. (i.e. foraging, samples in stores, dumpster diving)
3. Any food we plant, we pay for.
4. We will do our best to cook a variety of meals; ramen noodles can only be prepared if there is no other way to stay under one dollar. (We have six packages and will buy no more)
5. Should we decide to have guests over for dinner they must eat from our share; meaning they don’t get to eat their own dollar’s worth of food.
Each day one of us will post an entry here with a photo that details how things are going. So if you want some daily entertainment, look no further than: OneDollarDietProject.com
If you think what we’re doing is interesting, inspiring, or just plain nutty, consider SPONSORING our efforts. Simply enter in an amount, click “update total” and follow the prompting. If you don’t have PayPal, it will let you use a credit card. At the end of the of the month all proceeds will go to the Community Resource CenterONE campaign. We will post evidence of donations at the end. (here in Encinitas, CA) and/or the
So stick with us, and feel encouraged to get in touch or comment as we move forward.

They did a great job!
In preparation for my upcoming mission trip to Zambia, I am reminded that living on just $1 a day is their reality, their norm.
We invite everyone to come track our progress and see our spin on the ”dollar-a-day” challenge.
