Snake
I have a very low score, as you can see, but that is only because a lot of the foods are regional or are gourmet, both of which are hard to access when you have no money.... so... yeah. my score: 22
This is mine, be sure to do yours and post a link or your score in the comments if its better than mine. thanks to maki of Just Hungry for the idea that she got from here.
