Guess what I did? I worked an extra shift and bought boxes of pasta.
There were times when I needed to make the rent and put gas in the car and I had to drink a few less beers on friday night.
Hmmm, budgeting and buying cheap stuff when you are in college...what a wacky idea.

No Top Romon noodles are the best ... 10-15 cents each serving.
I had a food card. $1.25 a day from the college cafe. Two fried eggs two cups of coffee and a bran muffin. My husband and I had lunch and breakfast wrapped up with that.

Yep, that, cigarettes and fast food. Probably some more bad economic decisions in there somewhere.

The fundamental education of university, making a budget and living it. (and of course, figuring out what can be trimmed from the budget after blowing a month's grocery funds on pouring drinks into a romantic interest on Fri night)

I delivered sub’s & pizza full time & went to school full time. I earned money & had all the food from work I could eat, and still found time to party. Some of the best times of my life!
