Legwand,

your best solution is to find a part time job and earn some extra money, that way you can buy some quality food that is not going to ruin your health because thats exacly whats going to happen if you stick with alot of the diets people on here are suggesting you eat.  Your gonna endup not being healthy.

Going out and getting another job isnt going to fuckin kill you, but all that bad food will.

A little inspiration that someone sent me today:

That video was great. That is exactly what has happened to me. I have lost all of the fire that I used to have. I have let all the bad experiences in my life beat me down. I have let myself almost completely give up on myself. I know what I have to do now. I have to get back in the gym and start training. Get in top shape and start living life again. I have let myself become a fat, depressing, lazy person and it is ruining my life. Its the reason I lack confidence talking to girls now and its the reason I dont go out anymore. I have kind of become ashamed of myself. After so many times of winning thousands gambling then pissing it all away it has just taken its toll on me. I need to pick myself up though and just put that all in the past. Start building my body and mind and bankroll. Just have to start from 0 but I can do it.

You'll be ok Legwand, it's not that hard to get by on $50 - Here in Canada we have a store called "Almost Perfect" - They sell all sorts of great food iteams at ridiculously low prices because there's something wrong with the food item.  Could be just a bad spelling error on the box, could be they didnt put cheese on an item, very small mistakes but the food is still great.

Start doing your grocery shopping at Aldi if you can find one close to you.  They have pretty much everything there and its way cheaper than your general grocery stores like kroger, ect.  Still tastes the same and its usually made in the same factories it just doesn't have the brand name. Seriously just try it once and see how much you save. GL.

I paid them but I canceled my data package. Checking scores and going on facebook all the time really isnt worth 10 bucks a month.

stop eating meat

that is simply not an option for most people.  i'd rather stop drinking water than stop eating meat.

Start a dog walking business. You can make some decent money, get in shape, and meet women all at the same time. Alternately ask out the bank teller and do some


Seriously though, dog walking is a good idea and while saying money on food sounds plausible, there is a limit to how much you can economize. $50 doesn't sound reasonable to me, perhaps $100. Your time and gas has a time/value too.

You can donate plasma to make some extra money. That was the thing to do back in college to make a few extra bucks. Also you can always go to a sperm bank and make a "donation." Nothing like getting paid to jack off. It may not be much but it is better than digging through the trash or dumpster diving.

A new job may not be possible given the economy but a part-time gig should be ..

summer camp counselor ..wait tables at a 'decent place' and get a discount or free food.. market research studies ..

yogurt, fruit, salad , Annie's pasta dishes are some cheap but good ideas.. make a pitcher of iced tea or lemonade ..

good luck bro, if you can do it  you will lose a ton of weight. sucks about verizon they do the same shit to me, ive been with them for 13 years. just do like my broke as a joke friends do and go over to your friends house and just wait till they eat and usually out of politeness (i or them) will most likely offer you a meal.

buy tofu. i can get 5 meals worth for a 1$. try frying it with mexican spice! go to chinatown.

buy a big bag of spanish, add some garlic, lemon juice, sesame seeds. 1 buck

buy udon noodles (japanese), it comes with seasoning and lasts a few meals. 1 buck

vermicelli noodles (add soya). 1 buck and lasts a few meals.

Just buy whats on special, im sure you can probably find a website that whips up meals based on the local specials for the week. Theres a women here in montreal that has a decent website promoting this fact.

Shop around when you do groceries dont just buy from the same supermarket, they all have different specials.

Don't you have neighbors, take some food from them. Work to ease off some rent as your building janitor. Get another part time job, theres no shame in working to get urself out of a hole no matter the job.



you're a resourceful bloke, nice!

legwand, step 1 drink only water. It's free from the tap or .25 cents at the spring. I take two 5 gallon thermos with me and they last almost 2 weeks.

there's 7-8 bucks for water/drink

now you have to kill that pain in your belly.

get a 10lb bag of rice, it's not nearly as cheap as it used to be, but pretty sure you can grab one for about 10 bucks

that leaves you with 32 bucks for your months budget

find a local farmers market, and get there in the last hour they are opened, make your rounds and scope out some deals. make your presence known, and dicker with those vendors!

they are always ready to deal in the last hour, they don't want to take that stuff home with them. try to grab a couple items from one vendor. you figure if you have 8 bucks per week to spend there, you can get about 7 bananas, 1 per day for breakfast, for about a dollar

that leaves 7 bucks each week to get whatever veggies you like to mix in with your rice. i prefer celery/onions/mushrooms, but shop to your liking and preferences, and make it your goal to spend LESS then the 50. it's possible and can be fun!

there's also tons of coupons out there, in print and on the web. instead of jerking off look for some coupons

Water is free for the tap? 

You Americans don't pay a water bill?
