Eating on a Desperate Income
Mon 12 Feb 2007 – 13.12
Now, I went to University, so I know a thing or two about free pizzas – but this story makes me look like one of those Egyptian Pharaohs sitting around feasting on grapes.
From The Simple Dollar comes a list of tips on how to feed yourself on next-to-nothing. Some of these are thrifty tips for savvy shoppers, but some are just bloody absurd. Then again, there’s no shame in saving a dime.
My favourite:
9. Join a church. Quite often, congregations will have a free meal right after church and then another meal on a weeknight, usually Wednesdays. Even if you’re not a believer, you can get away with two free meals a week. If you attend two churches, you can sometimes score as many as four a week (Sunday breakfast and lunch and two weeknight dinners).
…kinda makes my $5 lunch look a bit lavish, doesn’t it.
