The old chequebook for great for this sort of thing.

A week before payday it used to get a propper spanking when I was skint 🙂
oh, how things have changed in the last ten years. Cant remember the last time I even saw my chequebook.

Anyway, back to the problem.

£2 worth of chicken brest from Tesco.
Eat it raw and spend the next week shitting your life away or in bed shivering.
I bet you wont want to eat, so no need to worry 🙂 .
( you could invest the remaing £2 in a couple of lotto tickets )

One value bag of pasta, one value bag of rice. 8 value tins of tomatoes, a bag of onions, about 2kg of beef mince. If you have money left over, mayb 12 eggs and a couple of cheap loaves of bread
From this you can make: spag bol, chili, meatballs, and variations thereof. Omelette, scrambled egg on toast, boiled egg, poached egg, eggy bread.

Where are you OP?

2 things
My missus says you can eat here if you're anywhere near Darlington - soft or what?

get some gardening done this weekend for neighbours for a bit of cash, get a card in newsagents now and see if you can pick up a days work - should be good for £25 or so

Sign up for Match.com and buy a box of condoms.

Arrange a date every night with some of the least attractive and most desperate looking women you can find.

After the meal, it't the Aussie Haka (pat pockets, look concerned, oh no I seem to have lost my wallet).

Woman pays, you eat well, hell you might even get a bed for the night and a shower and save on electricity too. All it will cost you is a significant chunk of your self-respect.

Play your cards right, you might even get breakfast too.

WTD: Spare change etc.

OP - property is theft man.. possession is nine tenths of the law.. 😉
