Default HOW Cheap??

I know that there is currently a credit crunch on, but some of these money saving ideas from the US are pretty shocking! How far would you go to save a few pence?

No doubt the book will make her a bit more than a pound a day.
I don't know how you could pay your household bills on that??? so I'm asuming the £ was purely for food??

I read about the woman living on a pound a day. I don't quite know how, but she had already paid her bills for the year. Here is an article about her.
