As I've stated in previous post I'm looking at Prime and I'm trying to save up a bit of money to cover bills at home and extra cost that I might encounter. I know they give you a weekly advance and I was wondering what a frugal person might spend on food a week and wether I'd have anything of the $200 left to pay small bills. If this is the case then I might try starting sooner if I can still my BP down. I'm overweight so I know I'll have to do sleep study but my blood pressure is a slight concern. I am dieting and exercising though, I'm hoping that helps.

Depends where you buy food. I tend to eat in my truck 2/3 meals a day with dinner being my hot treat. Breakfast I have cereal, granola bars, or microwave biscuits, and coffee from K-cups. I can make 100$ last a week easily, but if I wanted to be frugal that could get as low as 50$ if I didn't eat heavily and skipped any truck stop delights.

I know during training some things will depend on the trainer but I want to be prepared. My fiance will take care of a lot of it at home but there will be some things she can't cover due to how many hours she gets.

I plan on trying to be frugal and get some stuff at an actual store since I know truck stops are expensive. But again that depends on the trainer and how much space they give me. I'm really wanting to stay within next month or two because my current job is burning me out and my coworkers are being drama queens.
