some govt assistance would be nice i want an EBT card!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1....I have three kids and have never received a penny of "help"....I want to go on full blown welfare, for as many years as possible, but I do not "qualify"....some crap about me "working" everyday The rest of my family has it made

Ramen for meeeeeeeeeeee.


College student ftw.

Heck yeah. $.30 meal=low sodium ramen with hot sauce (makes up for some of the flavor) Not necessarily healthy, but I get the low sodium so it at least sounds a little healthier...
Other option is the school cafeteria-normally ranges from nauseating to borderline appetizing and based on our calculations or how much we pay for a meal plan divided by how many times we go there a quarter, $7-8 per meal

I buy alot of whole chicken. Roast chicken first day with baking powder biscuits, then use the bones for a nice stock base for a soup the next day. Add some homemade flour dumplings and some veggies. I also buy alot of chicken legs/thighs, larger bone-in roasts, and just pay attention to sales. My grocery store has alot of buy one get one sales on beef roasts and pork roasts. I stock up on them when they are cheap. Homemade biscuits/breads are easy to make and a good filler. I feed a family of 5, it costs about $200-250 a week for our grocery bill....its brutal!
