[QUOTE="Snootybutnice, post: 1264093, member: 330477"] OK first off if I were in your position I'd be walking up to my local restaurants and pleading to work in return for some food. Being humble enough to say I need to eat and I'll do any work you need me to do takes guts but ultimately it is also very telling and you will be highly respected. You just need to look very clean/hygienic to work in their kitchens - if you think they'd turn you down then offer to pick up litter outside, clean their cars etc... If you know of any farms then most of them need cheap labour and if you pick the right ones like a dairy farm you'll be able to get a few pints of milk out of them. Secondly, if you can't work then I'd say go to the shops at the end of each day where food is being discounted to save a bit more money. Thirdly look into extreme couponing where you can buy a whole load of stuff with coupons so your shopping will cost you next to nothing. Fourthly you might find that you have something to sell - just to keep you going financially. Old clothes that don't fit etc Food I might buy in your position would be from Asda or Lidl who are the cheapest supermarkets in the UK: Ingredients: Pack of 10 eggs (£2) Can of Peeled plum Tomatoes in Tomato Juice (30p) Lidl protein bread (28p) Chicken paste (25p) Pack of 4 sausages (27p) Meatballs (40p) Porridge Oats (75p) Pint milk (75p) Large iceberg lettuce (43p) Banana (17p) Breakfast: 1 egg omelette garnished with tomato and half slice protein bread (44p) 1 egg on half slice protein bread (34p) Sausage sarnie - 2 sausages with full slice protein bread (42p) Porridge Oats, bit of salt made with water but then topped with milk Mash half a banana with an egg to make batter for pancakes Very tasty! (29p) Lunch Salad of lettuce, a few meatballs from tin, 1 boiled egg (40p) Fried egg, fried sausage (27p) Tea Any bread that has dried up/old/past it's best by 1 day just pop in oven then rub over with clove of garlic if you have any -and put peeled plum tomatoes in blender and add salt and put that over the bread for a lovely spanish style snack. (38p) Cook 2 sausages and slice thinly to eat with your spanish style snack above (52p for everything) If you can buy 1 banana and blend half of it one day with some milk for a night time drink (34p) Mainly though I would look at how you can limit your current outgoings ...do you really need your mobile phone...internet access...your car...can you rent a room out in your house to make money...are you supporting someone who now needs to support themselves...and remember - charity begins at home :-D best of luck! xx [/QUOTE]
