There is so much you can eat from the free samples before eyebrows are raised.
Not true if every time you go back to get a sample you say it's for your dad...or mom...or grandmother...or brother...or sister...
It works at Costco when I'm there.

Hi.
I'm broke. I've got $20 to my name and it has to last me two week until my next paycheck. This money is for food only, because if I don't have food I will die of starvation. I've been eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But I'm starting to get sick of them.
Does anyone have any suggestions for other types of (really) cheap food to eat? Note this $20 has to last me a whole 14 days. Suggestions are appreciated.![]()
Sounds fantastic, but there's absolutely no way a college student can make that for under $20.Exactly. Here's a very nice and easy recipe (at the very end of that page)
why not take out a student loan? I mean this is what they are there for....to help with all facets of funding college
There is a good idea! Learn to finance things early and often!
I was told by several banks that they would only pay the cost of going to school (that's tuition, room, and a pathetic meal plan) but I could not get more than that.It is a good idea
What do you think student loans are for? To fund school and school related expenses
He could get a second job as well
The OP has no money, is investing in themselves via school, and on the brink of starving? Hell, take out 1000 to make ends meet in the short term.
He won't have to start paying it back till 6mths after he graduates
Your "sarcasm" is misguided as student loans are not bad if you know what you are doing and makig the most use of your time in school
When I heard that people trapped in the New Orleans Superdome during the aftermath of Katrina were turning down MREs because it didn't look like real food, I wanted to smack someone. They're not French bistro food, sure, but in a pinch they'll do.

It's not exactly easy to get money for "expenses" anymore. I only have an income of $250 every two weeks thanks to my fabulous job here, which I was lucky to get.
I know you don't mean to but you have a habit of coming off as extremely condescending when it comes to topics such as this. Things are not always as easy as you make them out to be.

[*]Military MREs. If you have a friend or family in the military/ROTC that offers some of these , GET THEM. They last forever, are surprisingly nutritious and are ridiculously filling; one MRE pack delivers the full daily caloric and vitamin/mineral needs of a grown adult male, by design. I had a relative in the National Guard who would occasionally bring me a small stock of these during my college years.

There were two things that kept me going through the "lean times" in college:
- Ramen noodles, as stated above. I still like them, but they have to be the real Korean kind, not the 10-cent ones.

If I were in your shoes I would pretend to be willing to convert to whatever religion offers free food at their get togethers![]()
