Uni, what grocery store chains are near you? I've cut back a shitload on my grocery expenses just by matching up the sales to coupons. Just as an example.....this week I'm buying $135 worth of groceries for less than $30. And I'm getting $10.25 back. I buy coupons for things I know we need in bulk on eBay and I often end up with some coupons left over. I know that without income, acquiring said coupons can be a pain in the ass but if I know what stores you can use, I can hook you up with a bunch of coupons to get free stuff. People underestimate coupons but they've helped a LOT of people keep food on their tables.

Uni, where are you living at the moment?

I spend about £30 a week on food, although that also includes stuff for my cat. Sometimes I'll also by junk food for snacks, etc, on top of that, but I never top £40.

Also, keeping under budget isn't the issue here; I have literally no income, and since my wallet has been stolen (along with...so much fucking else) I have to pay to replace everything in it. So. I pretty much get food whenever I get it, and since Walmart's the biggest place around here and they compact all their trash, there's not a lot of availability w/r/t/ dumpster diving.

I gathered that much...the good thing about walmart (ack, scary phrase) is that they price match EVERYTHING. I meant that I would send you coupons for stuff you could use so that essentially, you could get a bunch of stuff for free. I use livingrichwithcoupons.com to find deals at my stores and they put up a post every week with matchups on how to shop for free. There have been days where I had absolutely no money to spend on groceries and still walked out of the store with $20 worth of food- legally.
