I can NOT like being on such a tight budget. I already miss my fruit, yogurt and coffee breakfasts. Yesterday morning I had toast and this morning I had a tofurkey sandwich. When I run out of that stuff, I guess I will get bagels since they're probably the cheapest breakfast one can have. And I've been having cheap ass spaghetti for my meals in between. And what really upsets me about this is that if I didn't have a car, I wouldn't be in this situation. I have a parking ticket to pay for (since there's no parking at our house), and I owe all that tax money on it to a state I only lived in for two months. This feels like such bullshit! I know I could have been budgeting my money better all along so I could have a stash for when things like this come up, but it still feels like bullshit. I just want to eat! Seriously. I can handle not going out or shopping. But can I just have food at home? The good news is that keeping myself SO tight right now will result in me being back on my feet within a few pay cycles. Also, I have a new appreciation for those families who struggle like this all the time. It only takes a couple of days with minimal or crappy food to realize what a blessing food in the cabinets really is. And I also find it annoying that healthy food is more costly that junky processed garbage. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
