Lost job how to eat on 6 bucks
Really could use some advice. Was working up to a week ago when my store got closed and only the managers got transferred. My last check went to rent to try and keep a roof over my head while I look for a new job.
I’ve got no family to help and always kinda keep to myself so really have no one to ask for help. I have 6 dollars plus whatever’s in my change bowl and it’s not much maybe a dollar or two in there.
I have no idea when I’ll be working again I have interviews lined up so keeping my fingers crossed. The whole situation has skyrocketed my anxiety and makes me want to give up but I’m trying.
I have no food and need to get by until then. How do I make this 6 dollars last I’m literally down to a bag of old chips that are going to pierce my tongue trying to consume them. Any and all advice is desperately needed.

- Sorry to hear that man. Id buy white rice its the cheapest carb you can buy. Usually some shops have big bags for a good price. If you manage to get a bit more money you can buy some dried beans, lentils, tomato sauce, cheap vegetables and canned foods. I hope you will be better soon and I wish you all the best.
- Sometimes I see people who go behind stores and get one day old food out of rubbish bins. I did it once. I don’t know if you have to ask for permission… I saw a post last night of perfectly good food that a shop was throwing away and thought it would be a good idea to find their bins. Good luck.
- my grandparents used to eat rice with fermented bean curd due to famine, and I used to hear stories that for families that were worse than my grandparents, used to just eat rice with soy sauce with pepper mixed in.
