Suggestions
So I am getting a lot of suggestions from people on meals that would qualify for my challenge, and I think I should keep track for days that I lose inspiration or try to convince myself that it’s not possible to eat for $5. Thanks everyone!
- Soup from the grocery store (Julie Hagmeier)
- Subway, $5 footlongs (Janice Chang)
- McDonald’s, Southwest salad (Savannah Gary)
- Steak N’Shake $4 meal with yummy milkshake (Sabrina Slack)
- Chicken of the Sea Salmon cups (Bobby Samuel … also my fiance, lol)
- Bloomington Bagel Company (BBC) egg and cheese bagel for under $4 on 11-grain every seed bagel with cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper (Binny Samuel)
- A bowl of granola with milk, yogurt, and a bottomless cup of coffee at PourHouse (Sarah Conley)

So if you are ever feeling like being unhealthy… steak n’ shake, they have meals for $4, a snack pack and if you go between 2-4pm get a kids meal and a half price milk shake it will be less the $5 and VERY yummy! As for healthy, well I have to think more…
I recommend Salmon Cups (manufactured by Chicken of the Sea).
I’m planning on eating one today!
You are a Salmon cup
Bloomington Bagel Company (BBC) has an egg and cheese bagel for under $4 (I recommend 11-grain every seed bagel, cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper). Pretty healthy and filling! Get a cup of water to drink for free or take a shot of skim milk/half-and-half intended for coffee. Or better yet, bring your own mug and only pay $1 for a fill up of coffee!
Oh, and tell them it’s to go, I swear they charge a dine-in-tax!
You can get a bowl of granola with milk, yogurt, and a bottomless cup of coffee at PourHouse under $5.
It is super filling too!

Hey Jess! First time I’ve read your blog and it’s pretty awesome. Are you down to like 100 lbs on this $5 a day btw?? I’m sure you’re looking fab. Suggestion…if you’re looking to get your flowers from Indy I loved Posh Petals….AMAZING. Another place that is really good is called Bokay Florist on College. Love them both. Good luck on the hunt and let me know if you need any help with anything….I completely and utterly miss wedding planning.
