[Ichbin]

Quite honestly, besides seasoning and condiments, the only thing I have to eat is stale poptarts.

Good thing today is payday :)

If there weren't beer in my fridge there would be nothing in it. I sympathize with you.

Mmmmm Liquid bread!

[Ichbin]

At least it fills ya...sorta

[jdbnsn]

dude, I feel your pain. I can't afford gas for my car to go to the grocery store to shoplift food so the only way I can eat is to go to the hospital. The lady that lives down the hall from me bought me a jar of peanut butter and a squeeze bottle of jelly. I found a new way to have breadless PB&J sandwiches though, you get a spoon full of peanut butter, then squeeze a layer of jelly on it. It's great!

[tinker]

hahaha.

Hey, but look on the bright side...
we all have sweet computers.

Yeah, and if you're running an AMD you don't have to pay your heating bill either.

Or a laptop. God damn this thing runs hot when I play peggle or something.

[slytherock]

you could always keep a change of tattered clothes and go find a shopping cart to put bags in and walk around begging for money.

[BigJohnson]

Get a roomate. Mine just got a raise. She is definitely paying for groceries now.

you know, cats are high in protein and go great with chinese food.

[silverdemon]

oh well, the cat'll have to do:P

[Aero]

honest to god. When I'm cold, I turn on all my computers and run 3dMark. It warms the place up by atleast 20 degrees.

2 things to add to my list from this post.

1) Get a room mate
2) Get a girl room mate.

[BigJohnson]

Yeah. Chicks can be cool. Plus they have friends. But get the low maintenance kind. You dont need another mother.

[Crimson Sky]

Peggle is so damn addicting!

I haven't been broke in years. My wife and I were just talking about how I just couldn't imagine having less than $1000 in checking (We have $3000). Also, $10,000+ in savings.

[Drum Thumper]

completely forgot sweet and sour kitten

And both of you forgot Kung Pao Kitty! :D

Are you offering to share? J/K:D

I used to live paycheck to paycheck at my old job. Four years ago when my first daughter was born, we moved to a different city (800 km away) in order for me to get a better paying job. There was a lot of risk involved, such as what if I didn't like/couldn't do the job, etc. but I couldn't support my family with the old pay, so I had to change something. It took a career change, a big move, and for the first year here, I had to work a lot of overtime just to pay the bills.

Last year, I paid more in income tax than I grossed at my old job. Looking back, I can't believe I worked at that place for nearly 10 years for that pay, even though when I started working there, I thought it was good money.

At the uni one of my friends goes to, there's an item called 'budget lunch' on the menu... Consisting of a bowl of rice with soy sauce for $1.

On the first night I moved to my dad's house we had a tasty nutritious meal of rice, boiled carrots and soy sauce! Needless to say, I soon took over the cooking duties.

[crenn]

Actually my current 'budget' dish is half a cup of rice (rinsed), 3 quarters of a cup of water and once the rice is cooked, add 1 and a half table spoons of butter, some salt, pepper and some lemon pepper. It's actually not bad and is a decent meal.

[Ichbin]

my budget dish is air.

Refreshing!

[crenn]

That used to be my budget dish.... but it kept on giving me gas.

[LilManMods]

Anyone know the name of the movie where the guy has steaks pinned on the inside of his pants and a dood stabs his leg with a fork and says dosen't that hurt?

[Ichbin]

Probably sounds something from jackass.

[.Maleficus.]

Ahh the wonders of being broke...

A quick look into my situation. I'm 16, working at McDonalds. It doesn't get much broker than that. If only I could find a good job...

[Quakken]

I Have no job.

I havn't bought anything for months. Don't they feed you at mcdonalds though?


And by feed, I mean let you ingest their beef shaped poison.

[.Maleficus.]

Don't they feed you at mcdonalds though?
I don't know if I'd go that far... I HAVE to eat there :D.

[crenn]

McDonalds isn't 'poison' it's the people who eat there constantly and don't excercise.

[Quakken]

There is just so much better alternatives... but yes if you do eat at mcdonalds more than a little bit, you're not helping yourself.

[crenn]

It's been proven that McDonalds, every now and again actually isn't bad for you. I have McDonalds maybe 2-4 times in the period of 2 months, and I'm actually still losing weight ;)

[Quakken]

Of course you can lose weight. But that doesn't mean that mcdonalds is good for you.

Mcdonalds is quite tasty in moderation, actually. Just not having it every meal straight for 30 days (you won't survive.)

I don't know why i'm typing still. Maybe it's time for sleep already.

[crenn]

Your body does need some fat ;). It's all about balance.

[Ichbin]

I'm thankfull to say, That i have enough money to buy groceries now!

Woo!

[crenn]

Buy a large bag of rice. Always good in a case of emergencies ;)

[BigJohnson]

I go for the pasta, usually someone has it for a dollar a pound. And there are so many things you can do with pasta. I made tomato sauce from some of the spices I have lying around and a can of condensed tomato soup. Wasnt half bad.

[crenn]

Maybe we could have a section of the wiki about 'modding your appetite'!

[NightrainSrt4]

Ramen noodles are great to have around for when things get tight. A little on the high salt side for those of you who monitor that. But really cheap and you can make some good dishes too.

Get the beef one and throw in some roast beef and carrots and celery, and whatever else you want. Yumm!

[tinker]

Ramen's salt content is ridiculously high. I think its more than half of your daily diet of sodium in one serving.

[luciusad2004]

Oh snap... I usually eat at least two packages at a time. Maybe i should stop doing that now.

Though to be honest my mother hasn't brougt any home in a while... but when she does we have a cabinet full of the stuff.

[BigJohnson]

You could also buy 50 tortillas for a buck or two. And I dont know about you, but I always seem to have shredded cheese on hand. Quesadillas.

[Ichbin]

lol, cheap and effective way to clear the ice on your sidewalks.

Throw some ramen!

I know ramen has like....truckloads of salt....but its soooo good.

[Quakken]

Rice is awesome. In bulk, you can get a months supply for a tiny amount of cash.

Also, get a sams/costco card if you want cheap and large amounts of food. Seriously. They have amazing amounts of stuff there, they could probably feed a small town for a month with all the stuff they have in there.

[simon275]

When I want to eat on the cheap I just go to China town in Sydney and friend and I had like two huge plates of food and tea for like $11.50Aus in total. That is like $10.60 US.

Rice and Pastas are really good for eating on the cheap as you can just add basically what ever you have kicking in the pantry to them. I have a signature dish called Pasta ThingaDonta because it donta look like anything you seen beforea.

[Luke122]

We do something similar.. "whatchagot stew".

"What's in that?" you might ask.

"What ya got?"

I also agree on the rice comment. Buy lots, live on it if necessary. 3 billion people cant be wrong. :)

[Eclecticos]

Living on refried beans is nothing nice. . I remember those times.
Whats for dinner? Ramen's or Beans. :)

I do some landscaping on the side. . If your primary job ain't cutting the mustard lend help elsewhere.

[Ichbin]

Just stay away from pork n beans. Sure its tasty, but you will be known around the office as

Sir fartsalot.
