[digital_denim]

................

[mr fluffernutter]

i'd eat crackers and water...

[mr fluffernutter]

oh wait... that's what i eat anyways

[Guest DUM]

I will post receipts, going to do this until I leave for NY. Starting this weekend.

[fg0d]

SuFu Challenge: Spend $20 or less a week. Post your reciepts.

edit: The only reason I thought of this is because this is really what I do...

[dunkin deeznuts]

75 packs of ramen and 2 dozen eggs

wooooooooo

[Tyro1]

One big meal on payday... Friends / parents / soup kitchens rest of week!

This reminds me of this stupid shit that I heard chefs do in some kitchens. They take it in turns to get everyones pay check that week / fortnight. So they only get paid about once every 10 weeks, but when they do get paid they get heaps to mack out with!

[prima]

skip to 2:00 if you're lazy

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i just watched the gleaners and i again today

dude on there that has been eating nothing but trashpicked food for 10+ years

i'd dumpster dive in swanky neighborhoods and spend the $20 on alcohol

[C0C0]

[fg0d]

They sound like a bunch of bums...

[will_i_am]

hahahaha ghostface.

i love those promos on mtv2.

makes fucking oatmeal sound cool.

[Ahlvahroe]

i went grocery shopping today and i saw those frozen dinners that are 1 dollar each and even if you didnt have to pay taxes you would still be 1 meal short. you know whatever, whatever.

[so-so]

when living on 20$ a week who the fuck would eat 3 square meals a day.

when i don't want to spend money on food- eggs and toast. just fry an egg, put it on toast (ketchup mayo and pepper if youre feeling spendy). just one and you will be ok to go. So thats like, 12 meals for 4$

How are ketchup, mayo or pepper spendy? Ketchup from fast food restaurants, jack pepper from any restaurant (or again, fast food usually has those little packets, salt too). I don't know about mayo. Steal it or something.

So now we're down to probably like $3.50.

Collect cans on the side! Then just go to Chinatown for some congee.

why not steal all of it then?

i was getting in line at the beer store today and it went like this:

me: "are you waiting in line?"

guy: "naw, don't worry about it"

guy picks up random 12 pack and walks out, then some good samaritan tells employee and employee kinda chases him and then walks back defeated.

personally i would just eat tonnes of pasta... and steal beer i guess

Living with nothing sounds much easier than living with a job,house/apartment, cellphone, a car.

Box of migoreng.

Neighbours tap water.

Government cheese anyone? and Ritz! bitch, I said Ritz!

[prima]

this is impossible for me. I could live spending only $5 a week, but that's sans gas, and ciggs...

life's not really life without a few stoges

[holeinthewall]

rent is $390/month so I'm out

[mizanation]

hahaha, government cheese.

$20 a week? so, i guess we're not talking about rent, utilities, bills, etc..., right?

hustle my man, hustle..

go a third on a script doctor...usually $60 co-pay...paid in full you get 90 norcos, 90 bars, and 120 somas...split that shit 3 ways.

that leaves you with your share of: 30 norcos (street price $2.50-3.00 a piece) 30 bars $2.50 a piece or 2 for 5)) and 40 somas ($1.00-1.50 a piece)...im too lazy to add up but you come out quite well..

NYC? I know Krispy Kreme on 72nd used to throw out their donuts at the end of the night, my friend would be hanging out at a bar nearby, and when the closing time approaches he would go up to the door and ask for dounuts - he'd used to get garbage bag full of donuts. I am sure things are getting harder on the 'end of the day food' front because lots of volunteer groups are enlisting chains like au bon pain though.

I work one floor above the main conference room(s) floor, 11:30 for breakfast food, 2:30~3:30 for lunch leftovers. no shame in my game.

[Guest DUM]

I forgot about gas, I cant do this.

[Bona Drag]
