I’m going to end up broke in a few months. Give me some tips on reducing the impact. What things can I do in advance? What are things I should know? Give me some financial advice too, if you can

    Canned foods are extremely cheap and last for a very long time. Wear multiple layers when it’s cold, don’t turn on the heat unless you’ll damn near die without it. Buy the cheapest sundries regardless of your preferences. Don’t buy name brand items unless they’re the only ones available. Use coupons as much as possible.

      Very long time as in possibly forever. They just get a bit less nutritious if it’s been many years.

      Where I live it turns out they’re even cheaper if you go to a dollar store instead of a grocery store, and some items are just as good. If anyone wants pantry recipes, I have a bunch by now.
