I tried but couldn't touch a day's groceries for ten bucks for more than a day or two at a time. In theory, perhaps, but not when I had been on the road for that length of time. I share the cold soda weakness as well.
By the way, I am happy to report I am still married and still have a job-although it did take a new one (job) to made the whole trip possible.
