"Today, I am kind of hesitant to buy food, because I have less than $100 and I need to do laundry. Do I want to do my laundry or do I want to eat today? That is the kind of question I’m dealing with."

Laundry costs $100??? Does she send it all to the dry cleaners? Guess this snowflake has never heard of washing out her clothes in the sink or hanging them to dry. I spent a grand total of 45 cents for a can of Spaghettios and $1.50 for a fried chicken snack pack for my weekend eats. Ok, I'm old so lets figure today it would cost $7. Her $100 would feed me for 14 weekends - or the entire semester.

Ramen noodles, beef or chicken are $1.94-$2.12 at Wal*Mart for 12. I’ll have to look at the box again. 2 a day, that’s 6 days. I bought crackers for $1.75 on sale at the grocery stoere. $4 you can eat for 6 days. Not well, but you can eat.

Wal*Mart also runs a dozen eggs for 58 cents a lot of the time around here (Midwest). Boil them and you can eat 2 a day for 6 days.

$5 spent, probably, with tax.

I ate them for two weeks (and drank no soda, just water) 10 years ago.

Didn’t. Lost. A. Single. Pound (I’m sorry to say, LOL)

many college kids pile it up and take it to laundry places that wash and fold it for them. it’s crazy the wastefulness of some of them. just too lazy to structure their time properly to learn to do simple things that would allow them to live within their means.

Beans and rice are pretty cheap and would go a long way.
