Back when I first moved to OKC and was desperately broke, I ate cheaply or not at all.
I spent all my available money on the move and put some on credit cards to get here. New utilities and the like had me down to dead broke. My apartment was a real POS and was $90 per month furnished.
I ate a lot of rice. Not Uncle Ben's fluffy stuff, I went for the Asian real gummy rice and some Kikkoman soy sauce. It was about less than a nickle per meal. Payday was Friday and I would splurge and put a can of soup on the rice.
It did not take but a year to save enough to move into a much better place with a roommate. One year later I bought my house. I still ate a lot of cheap meals. One of my favorites was a whole chicken. I would throw out the bag of crap stuffed inside the bird. Cut in half, 20 minutes on the grill, rotate, 20 minutes, rotate 20 minutes and then eat. Two meals cooked for cheap.
I have been really broke and I hated it. I have never taken one cent of government assistance of any kind, ever.
