My financial aid is finally arriving this week and I've budgeted out how much my fiancee and I will need for rent, all my bills, gasoline, etc., though to the end of January. With everything else accounted for, I'm left with a meager $206 per month for food/groceries. Is this realistic? Please give me all the advice you can!

My fiancee August and I live in Dahlonega, GA. The only grocery store within a 30 minute drive is the local Super  Walmart. We have absolutely terrible eating habits and an addiction to processed foods. Neither of us are very good at cooking anything complicated - we can make pasta, mix up beans and rice,  bake some chicken, etc. We have a gas stove/oven, which is a first for both of us, and we secretly fear we are somehow using it wrong and will die from a horrible explosion and/or gas inhalation (it has a tendency to set off the fire alarm when it's baking something which I'm not sure is normal?). We also have a toaster (we love making sandwiches and also eating toast with any kind of spread) and a microwave, and I think we have an old toaster oven in a closet somewhere.

We prefer foods that have way too much fat, sugar and/or salt in them, although that's a habit we definitely need to change. We don't eat enough fruits and vegetables though we want to change that if it's economically feasible to do so. August has intense cravings for meat if she goes too long without eating any. We generally prefer several small snack/meals throughout the day rather than a few big meals but sometimes we do enjoy a big dinner.

Please guide us atlas forum because we have no idea what we are doing!
