Best and worst week of cheap eating I ever had
Last month I lived off a $4 bag of potatoes for 5 days straight, felt great. Then I tried to stretch a single pack of chicken thighs for a whole week and got food poisoning on day 3. Which side are you on: bulk starches or risky protein stretches?

5 days on just potatoes? That's wild.

Man people really go all in on extreme stuff these days. It's like every week there's a new 3 day fast or 10 day juice cleanse trending on social media. Social media just amplifies it all too. One person does a potato diet and suddenly everyone's got an opinion about it. So many people just want a quick fix or something dramatic to feel in control.

Right, because living on nothing but russets for a week sounds like a real sustainable life choice. I guess kale smoothies just weren't dramatic enough anymore, so we had to level up to the full potato famine experience. Bet they're real fun to be around by day three.
