    67 KB Economic Survival Food Tips? Anonymous 12/10/08(Wed)12:17 No.716287  
    Oh god, /ck/, halp! I’m a VERY poor uni student at the moment. My flatmate ran out with 2 months or rent money, may his soul rot in hell. I just used my last dollar of savings to pay the back rent and this month’s rent. The electric and gas bills are due. Actually, the gas has been shut off and the electric is scheduled to be shut off in only 2 days. The water was shut off too because that’s over due. I can’t even flush the toilet and my flatmate took the biggest shit in it jus before he skipped town, IT’S STILL IN THERE, OH GOD. I’ve been using baggies for that purpose.

    I don’t get any more money for almost a month. That’s my tuition money. I’ve needed to buy more food for the past 2 weeks. I’ve been eating out of cans for the past 3 days or so. At least I still have a place to sleep. It’s cold as hell in here because heat was gas and you have to get a utility provider yourself for it. I can’t cook on my stove. At least the fridge still works, not that it matters because it’s pretty empty.

    Right now I’m cooking using a little alcohol camp stove I made out of an old Mountain Dew can. I have almost a full bottle of 91% rubbing alcohol. That will last me for about 75-100 meals or maybe more. It works really well too. I’ve about to have beef stew. Hell, I can’t even use a bowl because there’s no water to wash them with.

    I’ve been using rain water for my potable water needs. It hasn’t rained for a couple of days though and I’m running a bit low. There’s a park near here with a pond, so I can get some there and boil it so I won’t thirst too death.

    Any suggestions on how to cope and survive this?

    PIC VERY RELATED IT'S SAVING MY LIFE!

    I keep the bathroom door closed and have a towel pressed up to the bottom of it so the smell won't escape. There's no window and the fan never did work right. I don't need to go in there since I have no water for a real shower.

    On another note, this stew is fucking godly.

    I'm really proud of this little thing. This "crisis" is the first time I've ever really used it. It cooks ramen noodles right in the bowel. I have metal bowls. It made this stew start boiling in 20 minutes. Since I was posting it didn't seem very long.

    All I have are three 16oz water bottles. I don't think I'll be making ten 3 mile trips to the park for enough water to flush my toilet once. Maybe if it rains again for a long while I'll get enough water for one flush. But, right now, drinking and cooking water is far more important.

    This is a big city. I once went around to every fucking neighbor in the complex and asked to borrow a phillips screwdriver so I could fix my door knob before someone could jsut walk into my place and steal everything. No one would lend me a screwdriver. Most wouldn't open their doors and simply yelled out. The people that did open their doors only opened them a tiny tiny crack. They'd listen then be like "bugger off!" :C I was able to get a kitchen knife to work though.

    >>716310
    So fucking true! lol

    >>716309
    Cut a can in half, spread the top piece open a little so it'll slip onto the bottom and then cut out a bigger hole in the top. I drilled holes around the sides and it's supposed to flame out those, but it never does for some reason. It takes a long time to boil pure water.

    I used the bottom of a glass candle jar to help spread the can a bit so they'd fit together. These are some old pics of the process. I actually think it will work well without the little holes drilled on the sides.

    Looks like someone is going to have to suck some dicks.

    Seriously though, appeal to some neighbors and get the cops on your flatmate's ass, because you should at least know his name and face unless you are just bullshitting. Go to some fucking soup kitchens, food banks, look this shit up while you still have electricity for internet. Dumpster dive at midnight outside bakeries or dunkin donuts/starbucks. They throw out perfectly good food all the time.

    Godspeed, fagnonymous.

    Oh, and that wire cage thing is a small piece of "hardware cloth". It can support my heavy cast iron skillet too. I've not tried to make anything in the skillet with it yet.

    ...although I bet if I did the skillet would act more like an oven than a hot frying pan. I think I just found a way to cook my frozen pizzas before the electric gets shut off! All I'll need to do is cut them into serving sized pieces so they fit in the skillet.

    Beg for money. You said you live in a city, there is a 50% chance you have a subway. It's illegal but only a total fucking idiot can get arrested for panhandling on the subway and no matter how shitty you do, you will get at least 5 bucks a day. That is enough for 1-2 days worth of food.

    This isn't counting all the dumpster diving and shit, which will greatly aid you with all the free breads you will be finding.

    Also check out KFCs around closing time, they throw out all their chicken at closing time so you might be able to snag a bucket or some pieces of free chicken here and there if you are polite and get their sympathy.

    I used to be in your situation. I feel for you.

    Ohhhhhh! I know of a pizza place near here that sometimes gives away pizza when they close because someone didn't pick up a phone in.

    GAH!!! Maybe I could phone in 2 pizzas, never pick them up and instead just arrive to see if there are any free pizzas and pretend I wasn't the one to phone it in...

    If I get desperate I'll do that.

    You can get clean water in restrooms. If you are subtle about it you can get napkins and paper towels too. Do not push your luck too far though or you will be thrown out. Be subtle. Fill up just a little.

    If you can get a clean tap at the local filling station then you can probably fill large containers of water.

    If you have a Paypal account and really want some help, try making a wish at www.wishuponahero.com. Just register and tell them your story, usually people will donate a couple bucks, and it adds up, or you could ask them to send food too, or whatever. Honestly that site saved my life in college, for a month I had heat but no water or cooking gas or electricity and those couple bucks helped me eat for a good few weeks. It's pretty full now with everyone begging for Christmas but it's worth a shot. Good luck!

    dumpster diving. Pizza places almost always close with extra pizza. You don't have to call in fake orders, either. There will be enough. Most grocery stores throw out tons of free bread. Go to college, search those dumpsters. College kids don't know when food goes bad, they throw out good food all the time. Seriously, if you can get over the fact that you are eating garbage, you will never go hungry. There is TONS of food to be had, and most of it is delicious. And you shouldn't get sick, if you aren't an idiot and don't have a pussy for a stomach.

    Or, get arrested. Get jail food. Get hospitalized. Get hospital food.

    i should note that the most important thing for you right now is acquisition of fresh water. If you dumpster dive, you should be able to find a good receptacle no problem. A lot of businesses have spigots on the sides of their buildings. Use those to fill up. If anyone stops you, tell them what happened. They probably won't get you in trouble after that, and might give you money.

    Also, I should note, because of society's tendency to ignore deviancy, dumpster diving is not a big issue. People would rather ignore you than try and tell you what you are doing is wrong.

    OP, start selling blood or semen. Semen has incredibly low market value, obviously, but it's enough for a few meals. Blood will get you a little more, but you can only sell it once every couple of months or so.

    Medical/drug trials last a week or so and they'll pay you up to 1000 dollars for your participation, it's pretty solid.

    If you are insanely desperate, you can also sell your body to medical universities and shit. They'll pay you a few grand and put a tattoo on your foot, and when you die your body goes to them. Do this if you are incredibly desperate and don't care about a lot of kids looking at your wang when you die.

    Things that don't add up in this thread:

    -water gets shut off the day that his roommate skip out, leaving a huge deuce in the toilet. It takes months of not paying the bills for them to even consider doing this. That means you guys weren't paying the bills even when he was living there. Meaning its still your fault.

    -OP has quite a bit of time to spend making hobo stoves and talking on 4chan. Perhaps you could use that time to GET A FUCKING JOB. Oh BAWWWWW I'm a college student, its so much work! Thats why I spend 8 hours a day on 4chan.

    -OP has parents.

    OP here. Meh, waaay too many questions here. I really don't give a shit about your questions or doubts. I mean shit what a bunch of drama.

    Fuck this thread. Thanks to those that did give me good sensible suggestions. I'm in college for a reason. I want to make something of my life. That piece of paper when I graduate is well worth all this current shit going on right now. So, I make sacrifices with the things I don't "need" and I know I can get by without creature comforts. If I quit now what the fuck am I going to do if something really fucks up in my life?

    AND FOR FUCK SAKE I'M NOT IN CANADA!! THAT WAS SOME OTHER ANON. :/

    You are a faggot, ive made one of those tin stoves from watching video on youtube, your ment to place the container your cooking in on top of it to force the large flame down and the flames to come out all the small holes around the side, it distributes the flames over the surface of the cooking object to heat it faster/waste less fuel... thats some nice fail you got there

    also google hobostove, also good for cooking.

    OP, you're not supposed to cut out a large hole on the top portion. Leave it intact and poke a few holes in the center to use for filling. Keep the outer holes and the flames will come out of them.

    Also, have you considered employment of some sort? Check out the 'gigs' section on craigslist. You might be able to make a few legit bucks that way.

    haul water. If you can come across a 2 gallon jug or big juice dispenser (the kind sports teams use, ask around on craigslist or freecycle), you can fill it in a laundry area or a water fountain, take it home, and set the tap up next to your sink.

    if it getrs too cold to sleep, sleep in your school library. depending on what your school is like, yous might be able to get you access to a shower (if there is a campus rec center there's showers), extra shit from the cafeteria, and a campus job.

    Hey anon. :D You're in a bad way.

    Try hitting up a church for food, this is probably the best option.

    I dunno where the fuck you're from, but find some fucking Welfare program. Bullshit your way through it. Seriously, lie your ass off.

    Find a job. You already said you were from a big city, so get some job at a grocery store (STEAL FOOD ANON, STEAL!), or any other easy-to-apply place and work for a week or more, if you can. I'm guessing you're studying your ass off for some HUEG ASS successful life or some bullshit, so work a week and quit showing up when the work schedule interferes with your classes/studying. If you really do live in a big city, you should be able to pull this off with ease, not to mention most of the places will be grocery stores, drug stores, fast food joints, busboying at some mom and pop restaurant, etc, etc.

    Go dumpsterdiving for canned goods only, don't do the pizza thing. You'll get fucked up.

    Lie your way to the welfare gravy train. Work at a place where you can steal food. Dumpster dive for canned goods only. Job hop like a motherfucker if college is that serious to you.

    I was just going to tell him the same.
    If you don't need your pc for college, there are always library's and shit, sell your pc and camera. Food, heat and water are 10X more important then a camera and computer. But I've read through some of the posts, there have been some people to give you great advice. Here I am, in my warm, clean house, and you've truly made me sad. I hope you can get back on your feet, all I can say is you better be doing well in all your classes or else none of this is worth it at all. Do you have some friends you can bum money from? Mom and Dad? The best thing I've read is 'try to save enough money up to buy a shit ton of ramen.' You could eat 2 ramens packets a day and that would be enough to fill you up.
    It's Christmas time, and in big city's come rich fags who feel guilty, subways and street corners my friend. But it seems to me you're not that desperate yet.
    I hope you do okay, I really do.

    Since OP hasn't shown up in a while I propose this become a how to eat cheap thread. What foods provide the highest nutritional value for the cost? How difficult is it to store and prevent spoilage.

    Dried beans are cheap, last a long time if stored in a sealable container at room temperature, and are easily prepared with hot water, some salt and pepper, and maybe some ham. Ramen is just as easy as beans.

    Eggs are really cheap, 3 dozen for about $3 on sale at Safeway. You need refrigeration and 3 dozen is alot to go through before they spoil, but if fried it lasts a LITTLE longer.

    Reduced price bread from a local bakery. My grandma has stomach problems so she lives pretty much on bread and milk. She buys her bread from one bakery because on Fridays they put up all the old bread at $1 a loaf. She buys about 20 loaves and puts them in her freezer. According to the Atkins diet bread should be avoided, for that same reason bread is great for not starving to death.

    A mini garden is a really cheap way to get fruits and vegetables. Two tangerine trees and an orange tree in my grandma's back yard. They drop fruit faster then we can pick it and we still have plenty of fruit going bad on the kitchen counter. When you go to peoples houses or they visit they practically beg you to take a bag of fruit home with you because they can't get rid of it. Juice the fruit, put it in a ziplock bag, and freeze it.

    It's true. Soup kitchens should work. Besides that, don't you have any friends/family/remote acquaintances you can leach off?

    Cheap food huh. Try going to bakeries when they close up shop and explain your situation and ask for the leftovers. Not chain stores, mind you.

    I'm still alive!! My electric is off right now. I just got my laptop's battery charged at a gas station when I went top get more water. So, I have about 1.5 hours left to do all my college shit. That means I'll not have time to answer most people's shit questions. Thanks for the ideas from everyone on my side! They are GREATLY appreciated! =D I've been rationing my food rather well and estimate that I can actually last on the food I have right now until I get my next bunch of tuition money. I can't sell my camera because my minor is in photography. While I'm not actually using it right now too much I will soon enough we've been told. My ex-flatmate called because he left his uncensored, imported, purchased copy of The Witcher PC game here and wanted me to mail it to him. I said "Sure! Give me your address!" So he did. Then I cursed my head off at him over the phone and told him to return the money. He didn't take that well and hung up. I've made a report with local law enforcement and filed a complaint. They now have his address (no I'm not giving it to you guys, that'd be overkill), so they have to work with law enforcement in that state. I don't expect much to be done about it but you never know. I also have a 2 hours a week job unloading some truck for an antique store near here. So, I have $15 on the spot from that. It feels great being independent and not needing to rely on other people financially. I think I'll survive!

    Oh, I haven't posted since >>716747 and haven't read any of the posts since then, but I think there's a lot of lol to be read so I'll save this thread for that and the good ideas.

    pic related! lol MY GAME NOW, BITCH! >:3

    hey antisocial failure

    protip one - don't pay your failure ex-roommate's rent. tell the landlord the situation, tell him you'll pay your share or you'll just have to move out.

    protip two - if you move out, live on someone's couch if needed while you get stuff going.

    protip three - if you're this bad off, ask for help from a friend. especially in the "clean water" and "a little money" area. hell, find a church or food kitchen and you can most likely find a place to shower and get a jug of clean water, maybe a little free food.
