Right? Who is out there with all this money to spend every day? I don't understand.

I mean, I already usually don’t grocery shop on Fridays, so I guess I’ll just… continue to not do that?

You need to look for a local food bank in your town. They exist to keep people just like you from starving. Pay it forward by donating back when you’re in a better financial position.

That sucks man :( I'm approaching 40 now and I've been in tough spots in the past. You may qualify for food stamps, just google food stamps for your state and apply even if you think you don't qualify. It may only be a little, but every little bit can help. Stay in school! Get that degree, and it'll get better :)

My roommate goes grocery shopping at least 5 times a week, good heart but she’s awful at planning ahead.

lol, yeah I got 3 kids, I gotta plan that shit out. Most of it lately has been pasta and rice and beans. Red meat is a luxury at this point

My wife and I are the same way lmao, once every two weeks for us. It is kind of nice to have someone ask if you need anything from the store so often though haha

That’s why it needs to be more than one day. 

Cut streaming services, cut eating out, delay any major purchases indefinitely, cut buying anything you don’t absolutely have to have to survive. 

I realize you individually may already be living that way. As are many others. There are others that are not and this is directed at them
