    You dare ignore me? My budget is like 40$ a month!

    Buy cheap things that come in numbers large enough for you to work with for a week. An example would be a carton of eggs and some cold cuts. Add a loaf of sliced bread and you have egg/cold cut sandwiches for a week. Or buy some rice and just spend some money on fish. Fish is cheap -- if you don't care what fish, you can get a fish (no bones) for about two bucks.

    Cereal is your friend. As for booze, only go to places that offer deals . Bars compete with each other, so different bars will have different deals each day of the week. Just cycle between them.

    Rent is just money taken away from you at the start of each month. Unless you have student loans or something you should be fine. Eat my shorts.

    ps: I hate you

    Noodles and cereal Or if your uni provides a cafeteria, probably use that too since that's rather cheap for what you get - it is here anyway

    And instead of cutting down on beer, don't drink it at all

    Eating your own body parts could come in handy.
    Start with your toes first . . . you don't really need those.

    Beer has carbs, thus you don't need solid food. The extra money can go into beer and rent, in that order.

    Invite one of your lady friends over. Tell her you'd really like to have her over for dinner. Little does she know...

    It's too bad you probably don't have Chipotle where you're it...

    Those are burritos sent straight from God Himself, if you're curious.

    Ya got that right.

    Make your own enchiladas. Get some velveeta cheese and tortillas.

    GOLDFISH is the answer to everything! Or Easy Mac!
    Juice boxes, granola bars........food in bulk is good. I usually eat on the run so that might not work for you.

    It's too bad none of you have Raising Cane's chicken fingers where y'all are. Or jumbalaya! Mmmmmm......Jack in the Box is fairly cheap. McDonalds's dollar menu or Wendy's 99 cents menu are useful when you need cheap food.

    Jack in the Box is cheap? I've never found it that way. It doesn't matter; I eat it by the ton anyway.

    And those Scooby Snack dog biscuits aren't THAT bad. The bacon-flavored ones taste like wood, but the rest aren't that bad.

    Ok, the only things I've understood so far are Mcdonalds, Wendys, and dog food. Talk proper english ie not American english.
