How to eat with less than 3$ until next week ?

I have been trying to eat without feeling guilty afterwards, and I am quite proud of myself. I have been doing good with food for the past three weeks.
I had to pay University fees for next semester this month though and thus I only have like 3$ for the week.
Since I am new to the whole eating things that are not ice cream for breakfast and then tears for the rest of the day, and balance diet and everything. I have no idea what to get. And I fear I might spend my last 3$ on something useless.
I have a pack of rice, and a pack of flour.
Do you have any suggestions ? Something that could last until then maybe ?

@ArwenPandora Best of luck girl
Dried beans are fairly cheap and can last a long time if you get a larger bag. They even sell them at my local dollar store.

Cheapest student food in my country is the cheap macaroni, you get one bag of 500gr for like 0.75 BGN in my country all you need to cook it is water and salt and whatever else you put in it

@ArwenPandora I looked up your profile and saw, you used $ so I thought you were there. I don't know how things are in France when it comes to student loans. I'm a student in Bulgaria, we can talk from time to time if you wish

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic It is easier for people to understand when you use $. And sure, anytime you wish !

@1stexhub I cannot even count the number of times I went to bed hungry, ahaha. But I am thankful though, I am sure some have it worse. My dad pays for school but that's about it. And since I live in a small town there is no work so I have to manage for food and stuff

You would be qualified to go to your local food bank to help you out.

@BlondilyOld Oh I did, but because of covid they decreased the number of people on their lists where I live. I didn't make the cut. Thank you though ! ☺️
Then borrow money from your parents or maybe raid their fridge. lol@ArwenPandora

@BlondilyOld They live abroad and they can barely eat themselves. I will check friends thought, thanks !

Put it into a sock and then knock out someone and take their wallet
ArwenPandora · 26-30, F

Oh bless your heart you’re doing a great job, I remember those days and I’m sorry it’s so tough rn for you could you ask your parents for help, perhaps they could pick you up some food essentials until things get better for you .... ?

@Ferric67 Noted, thanks !
Grow the food.
Use a vertical wall with materials scavenged from street throw-outs, porch, back yard, sidewalk verge, or vacant lot.
Start by borrowing seeds.
Repay them with seeds from your own plants.
Many libraries now have seed exchanges.

@kamikaze2891 Riight, and it can work with a lot of stuff. Thank you !

You will feel better if you have some protein. Buy some peanut butter. Or buy a package of dried beans.
Byron8by7 · M
Purchase bags of dried beans, to go with the rice. More bags of rice if you don't have much.
