On this diet I spend 10 dollars everyday which I don't even earn . Thats like 300$ per month plus 600 $ as rent which is close to my family income. that too not even organic. I just don't know what to do...sometimes I feel like to stop studying at university (really it is not helping much) ...if it was not for my parents(to them degree from university means a lot) I would have gone back to my country and live somewhere tropic. I really feel I am not living a life as of now. Everyday my energy is being drained and I can't even shout (arrrrgggghhh). I am sorry for being freak but what can I do..things are getting out of control ....its getting hard to do things I love. Already I was not feeling good today and on the top of that I lost my apartment key( which is gonna cost me 100 $) and I have to sleep in library tonight coz I don't want to disturb any of my friend.

I feel the same way as you. My mom wants me to just get a degree, but I am not interested in anything my university offers. I would rather go to a holistic school... Actually what I really want to do is move somewhere like hawaii and live with a lfrv community. :( no one here understands me. lets run away :)

I was given a whole box of organic canarvon bananas yesterday for free by my local shop. They aren't even ripe but because some are getting a little spotty they won't sell, so they know that I eat a lot of bananas and asked me if I wanted them :)

i just bought some cases of fruit:

case of 40LBs organic bananas = $23.00
case of organic valencia oranges=$20.00
case of persimmons = $8.00
case of cantaloupes = $19.50

persimmons have 32 to case and cantaloupes have 6 GIANT melons to the case. That is $70 right there for a ton of food. Bananas alone are super cheap and you can eat 30 banana/day for about $6.

Hey Maya, your shopping list looks just like mine, except for the cantaloupes as I've not had good luck with them recently. Are they good?

I got two flats of large ripe hachiya persimmons totaling 36 from BBW for $16. At 150 cals each, that's $3 per 1000 cals.

i kind of screwed up by not looking in the case of melons to inspect. I had to throw one of them away and the other one i ate was mediocre. Will let you know about the other ones. I got the Tuscans. I always ask the produce guys which melons are the sweetest at the time. The chocolate persimmons were so yummy! They had seeds.

I was looking over everything in the Asian store produce dept today and I noticed that the green bananas were selling for 4 pounds for a dollar (.25 a lb) and the ready to eat bananas were selling for 6 pounds for a dollar (less then .17 a lb).
