Being on Atkins seems so expensive! I'm in an insane money crunch for the next two weeks and all I can think of is how I could buy twenty packs of ramen for two dollars and be all set, instead of spending a ton of money on vegetables (two dollars' worth of lettuce lasts me about two days). The past few days I've just been eating a few strips of bacon and some cheese; I know how unhealthy that is, but I just can't afford to shop.

Any suggestions on how I can stretch my teeny budget far enough to stay on Atkins?
