When I first moved 900 miles from home to become a real adult, I used up all my saving in the move, and numerous utility deposits, and first and last month rent for my apartment. I had single digits in my checking account. I was very broke.
I went to a local grocery store that sold Asian rice. I had brought a Panasonic automatic rice cooker my mom let me have as she had several. I ate rice with Kikkoman soy sauce on it. About 4 cents per day for meals. On payday I would splurge and put a can of Hungry Man soup on top of the rice. Between all that rice, and lots of potato soup, and spaghetti, and macaroni and cheese I managed to save enough to move into a much nice duplex.
I still have some of those old cloth rice bags that I washed, and used as rags. I would buy the 10 pound bags of rice. And no sugar on my rice then.
