Then when I hit the food aisle I would eat cookies and milk or in Pathmarks case the ready made rotisserie chickens

Then when I was done I would goto the most busy cash register line and kind of make believe I was upset because the line was so long and leave the cart full of stuff there and walk out

But now thank god I'm somewhat financially blessed so I just keep chef boyardees, tuna, and other canned and frozen foods just in case times get hard.

I used to do the same thing at the KeyFood around my way

I try to stay stocked up on dry pasta, 1 lb. things of hamburger (for the freezer) when its on sale, frozen diced onions, canned beans, canned tomatoes, rice,and other staples. Flour, eggs, oatmeal, and evaporated milk are cheap, too. It's amazing what you can do when you start (virtually) from scratch and workwith staples that have a long shelf life. Keep your heads up, guys!

Man today in school, we were sittin at the lunch table nd chillin when our homeboy comes lurkin up for a peice of gum

dude stays askin,every single day, to the point where ppl know to put their gum away and stash the peice you got in your mouth away in some dark corner whereit aint noticable

..so when he asked a girl sittin at the table,shesaid she had no gum when she got packs on her everyday..this %*^#$* kid ended up offering a dollar for a peice, and really gave it to her.

when i saw him hand the dollar over i was like

..dude you really gavethis chick a dollar for a peice of gum?!? he replied sayin it was "just a dollar" smh, i felt like i was my mom yellin at me for makin a stupidpurchase

...but really seein how careless ppl are wit money when theyhave a "good amount" gets me heated,even when its just a buck, cuz altho im not strugglin myself, plenty of people are strugglin to eat. I dont know,it aint my money and it aint me, but still

[agthekid]

Thank god for water.

 

[kanyewestjayz4life]

Ill make a wish sandwich

What is that?

Wish i had some meat to go in between it.

 

[thenewjs]

I refuse to go w/o food. My friend has a iphone, cable, the 11/12 pack, eggplants, a truck on 24's, 46" tv in the living room, 40" tv in hisbedroom, 24" imac and a 2 bedroom as one of his rooms he stores shoes. You go to his fridge and nothing. He eats noodles every day. I had a superbowlparty and that was the 1st time he ate anything other than noodles since this past summer.

 

[dendanskesimon]

how about, you dont have any food at all and drink tap water until your full. Ive done that before, freakin sucks cuz you be runnin to the bathroom all night

 

[face82]

I can money gram you bout 20 bucks if you need it.

 

[lazianboi]

why are u broke?

 

[thenewjs]

I go grocery shopping at the 1st of the month. I eat the best when im broke. I usually stop by my local grocer and check out the mark down meat which isusually steaks. take them home make a lil marinade and pour into a bag with my steaks and place into the fringe. As long as you freeze it. Your meats will begood to cook. Check out the discounted meat section for good meat. You may have to go to more than one place to find a good selection. My local Kroger all wayshave the 4 pack steaks for $3.50 marked down from $30. Now that its winter time I find the big t-bone angus for 2 for $7.

Goin to sleep hungry FTL

I got a whole poor boy cook book.

- Rice with soy sauce

- Melt butter in a pan n throw in the bread
- tortillas with pepperoni slices
- eggs with chopped hot dogs

 

[The_Isomotion31]

used to always make sure I had eggs, and noodles stocked.

 

[acidicality]

Damn, I won't ever waste money on food again. I'm very, very lucky that even though I'm in college my parents are willing to pay for my $!#@ (food,tuition, basically everything as long as i'm an undergrad). Sometimes I overbuy my groceries and end up having to throw stuff away. Gotta count myblessings and only buy what's necessary, and make savings where there can be.

some of you guys are so lucky you dont know. try going to bed hungry, waking up hungry, going to classes hungry and hoping that today there is some activity oncampus where there is free food. No money in my account, NO FOOD in the fridge. I had chick peas for lunch today. stole that +!%$ from the food drive basket atschool. I guess its not stealing if i need it, right?
