Friend is manager at taco bell so I will head up there, or go the DQ I worked at for 2 years (they always give me free food). If at home I usually just have some cereal or something.
Your roommates' shoelaces.
Don't eat your own. That's just crazy.

Yeah, that would be crazy if you ate your own shoelaces. 😀
Oh, and rice and soy sauce is the stereotypical meal for a broke person.

I just tell someone I'm hungry. Sometimes I don't even have to say anything at all. Just stand there. People are compelled to feed me.

Go into a place like iHop or something, ask for a heated water and those soup crackers (both free). Mix ketchup in the water and eat w/ crackers for a free tomato soup. ;D

Inexpensive, nutritious, and satisfying foods:
- potatoes
- oatmeal
- ramen
- peanut butter
- dry beans
- rice
Yes, I've had to live on nothing but oatmeal and potatoes for over a month.
Thanks for the adds, Spawnblade. 🙂

I'd also have to throw rice in with that. And beans as well . . .

Telengard laid it out well.
Ramen especially, seeing as I've seen a serving (300ish calories) be on sale for 10 cents, with an additional sale that gave you 5 dollars back for purchasing 100. How they manage to make money selling these things at 5 cents a pop, I have no idea.
Peanut Butter and a loaf of bread go a long ways. I can get a loaf for what.. 2 bucks? And if you throw peanut butter on that, you can have 3 days worth of meals for little more than the cost of the loaf.
Oatmeal... Non-packaged kind, is dirt cheap. Packaged kind, is much more expensive.
Potatoes - I'd also have to throw rice in with that. And beans as well, simply because while beans are more expensive, you don't need a lot of them to get a lot of nutrition.

If your desperate.. you can survive on water and bread. and u can add many things to bread. (peanut butter, butter, sugar, ketchup ect.) can of chicken broth isnt always expensive.plus most of the time its super salty so u can water it down . (rice seems like the azn way)
