Okey, I am soo poor right now, All i have to eat is a can of corn....so i heat up my can of corn and i eat it.  I still got a bit of money left, but my truck is gone and i gotta pay rent and skool soon. I'm in a summer class right now so it was hard to get a job, I finally got on at pita pit yesterday, start tomorrow.....but its shitty pay....at least i can buy some food and maybe get some free stuff.   Normally i work all summer and make around 10,000 then go to skool get 5 g's from my rents and make it through....however becasue i had summer skool this summer i didn't get to work and now i am fucked.    Any tips on how to live like a broke ass mother fucker? ( and better ways to eat cheap food?)

bread. buy the cheapest loaf you can find, usually around .69 and eat like 4 pieces with every meal. also spaghetti is very cheap. so are bananas

Just for the record, things like

peanut butter and jelly
bananas
tuna fish
eggs
mac + cheese

are all better for you than Ramen. Even if it is slighty more expensive.

Yeah I have applied, but i am just going into my 4th year, so i am still considered a dependant to my parents, and i think they make too much money so i won't get the loan.      I live in a sweet home 16th floor right on the tip of ubc......i just don't have much money to buy anything. And i have no idea what this Ramen stuff is??    I'm pretty tired of pasta though ( last liek 7 meals), i'll deffy pick up some fresh cheap bread and mow that.

1. ketchup soup 5 thumbs up

n. what you eat when there is no food in the house and you're hungry as Hell
Refers to making tomato soup by addding water to ketchup and heating it up

I don't get paid for two more days, I just spent my last dime, and the cupboards and fridge are empty. What the hell are we going to have for dinner ?!?!

Stealing and bread. Steal multivitamins by putting an overshirt or hoodie in the bottom of a basket and slipping the bottle under it when no one's looking. Put bread on top of the clothing. Buy the bread because it's cheap as hell and one of the main things you need for energy, and as you're checking out, slide the basket along under the register with your foot. Pick up the basket at the end, put the bread in, and walk out. You have food for a few days and vitamins to fill in the nutrients you're missing. If you get sick of bread and water you can steal Mac N' Cheese or anything really once you get good at it. I worked it out and figured I could live for 200$ and the price of rent for nearly eight months doing this, excluding any other expenses you may have such as cars, drugs, etc.

dumpster diving. I'm not even kidding either, you can find a lot of decent food in there. Especially bakeries, cuz alot of them not only throw their shit out when its only like a day old, they tie it up nice and neat in little bags for you.

go to a food bank. they've always got stuff.
at least the one  around here does.
u can also ask grocery stores for the bread they're about to throw out and try and get that as well.

hi, i have this same prolem, bulk food aisle at any store is nice.. just never steal a steak.. my friend got arrested for that, and was in jail for 4 days.. you could also try and get food stamops.. especially if you make so little.

-ramen

-cheap-ass bread and bulk containers of peanut butter and jelly, will last you a while

-potatoes

-generic mac+cheese

-cheap little debbie snacks, 2 or 4 for a buck, it's better than nothing

f.y.i.-stealing could come back to bite you in the ass, you obviously can't pay for a lawyer/fines
