The point is to go on the diet long before you need to. I've been there & done that several recessions ago, and have since found that I'm just as happy without a lot of "stuff" - especially when I have to pay credit card interest rates on the purchase price. But skip the mac & cheese: beans & brown rice are cheaper & better for you, and with additions of whatever fruits & vegetables are cheap & in season can be made quite tasty.
