What's new

I have £17 to last me till friday next week

S

silent_lemon

i basically buy a lot of staples, crackers, cheese, bread, crappy meat(fuck chicken breasts and jazz are expensive!! i cant remember the last time i had steak for jebus' sake) lettuce, mustard, beans, rice, pasta, tomato paste...no cereal unfortunately, just too pricey unless you buy wholesale. and all that could potentially last me half a year if keep stocked when have money, else i cant budget and i end up living off only rice.

i basically just read off the contents of my fridge/pantry. my strategy is to assimilate each thing i have into one dish, no matter how weird it may be, considering i need my nutes, even if i have to get them from different bottles...analogy.

oh, and iced tea powder drink mix. the HUGE canister of it that lasts eons.


i felt like posting again, to extend my condolence even. i know what it can be like.

in fact this thread is useless without pics. when i went over to my parents' place for thanksgiving. yeah that's right canada. represent. tangent much. they said ive lost weight(news to me. probably fulfilling their we need to help this ruined son of ours) so they gave me some chicken breasts, which i never get. and a bag of chopped vegetables, like a charity.

PS---------------------

so thought id add what im eating for dinner at 4am.
toast.
processed cheese(all i have atm)
mustard lmao
strips of lettuce since that what was given to me.
chicken breast
other piece of toast. ha. had to say it. anyways im going to enjoy this little muthertrucker.

Complain about only having £17 then spending £4.50 on fish n' chips? not wise...

Buy rice, pasta (filling and cheap)

Was just thinking if you just got chips you could probably buy 17 portions of chips at £1 each, great diet :laughing:

rice and some meat if its as cheap there, get some thailand malgorsia or jasmine rice, smells like popcorn when its being cooked and you only need to add butter and its really good and healthy.

goto a bakery to get really cheap bread, or a bakery outlet, i can get like 9 grain whole wheat for 1 dollar

Sounds a bit hardcore but its amazing what supermarkets throw away in there skips. Each day they gather all the food thats reached its sell by date and throw it out. Some supermarkets take a dim view of you taking it others dont mind as much but the worst that will happen if your seen is you will be asked to leave. A friend of mine who called himself a Freegan used to eat better than me steaks, ready meals, veg, bread the lot for free. Remember check the dates if its alright one day its not suddenly going to go off the day after. I remember last Easter we were eating chocolate eggs for weeks after that had been thrown out.

Besides, "raiding" hostels fridge and grabbing a bottle of oil to fry/melt soome hash for oral administration and sharing it with other hostel visitos (backpackers) is not stealing / being theif in my books

feather duster my friend!!! Get one of those, and just get your computer and desktop done in like 3 seconds. Sweep it all onto the floor and save for vacuum. I vacuum like 3 times a week and polish the desk and stuff...plus I have the air thing sucking up all the dust. But shit man - smoke a few bowls in the middle of the night, and look at the desk in the morning and there's black ash, white ash, tar, spots from splashing and what not...sucks. Yeah man feather duster was like the best $2 i ever spent. Albeit I must look mighty gay when using it, but when chicks come over they don't feel like they're at Oscar the Grouch's place

You could become a ripper, and go pick fresh fruits and vegtables.

Local gardener says "who on earth would need 20 green peppers"

Think like rabbit, act like rabbit, you are rabbit
