a) Itchy Band Noodles cheap easy meal!
b) When your hungry don\'t eat until you stomach rumbles loud!!
c) Even though you want to spend your money at the bar only do so on cheap nights!
d) Always lock your door/windows especially if you move into apartment like i did !
e) Landlords do penialize you for parties that disturb other residents!

I moved out of my parents house almost a year ago...my diet was pretty much hotdogs, noodles, and peanut butter sandwiches.
I ate about once a day. (Lost 25 lbs. in 8months)
I always lock my bedroom door.  (I have roomates)
Anything I don\'t want eating stays in my room.

And here\'s a little piece of advice.  Find some rich friends.  I did.  It helps a lot.

[DepthBlade]

yep even though you can\'t afford to spend big on eating make sure you get the nutrients and stuff you need! You will start to savor those things you never liked when you had it before!

[TheRedMonk]

Buy lots of pasta if you like that...its easy to prepare and can be good as hell if you learn how to do some good sauces. I dont know if your a student but if you are think about getting to bed at a reasonable time. Ever since I moved away from my mothers house a year ago I havent gone to bed before 01:00 which isnt very good when you need to get up early next morning. Just learn to take your responsabilities...

p.s. Its fun as hell

lol

I\'ve been living \"out of home\" since I was just a nipper and let me give you these words of senility:

1) (and most important) LEARN TO COOK, its cheaper and prevents you from living on noodles, if you DO live on noodles you will get a special variety of odor

2) YOU will have to clean, that means the toilet roll wil not magicaly refill itself and clothes will for some unknown reason remain completely unwashed regardless of how long you leave them on the floor

3) a big freezer is both your new best freind and life goal, if you have a big enough freezer (that doesnt freeze up) you will be able to eat MEAT not just meat based hotdogs but real MEAT coz if you got a freezer you can buy large amount of meat and not have to pay through the nose for the little portions (when fridge shopping go for cyclic defrost)

4)entertainment wise: the internet is full of media and games that are free, owning the latest thing is good but having bills and proper food paid for is better

5) no matter how much fun it may sound your best freinds are not to come live with you.. youl learn that one in time

6)arrange a nagging. annoying immediate family member to come visit regularly, this will motivate you to get the place clean and make sure it stays at a passable level at least once a week

7)personal hygene: when you live alone its more important than ever you now have no siblings to blame \"that smell\" on

PESTS: Cockroaches will not live anywher where there is no exposed water, make sure your taps dont drip and that the drains are plugged and theeres nothing with water in it stagnating in the sink, any food that is left out will feed them, keep everything sealed and put away, keep in mind that the residue from cheese being cut on the bench wil feed at least a hundred cockroaches WIPE THE BENCHES

why are all these so important?

why not just live in your own filth enjoying the lazy goodlife?

picture yourself at a nightclub:

\"I\'d take you back to my place honey but thers a rat in there that evicted me, if I step into his territory again hes promised to kill me\"

Good luck

All of the above advice and get a thick bible ( if you spot a thief hit him with the book ! ) and it makes for good reading if  you cant sleep

also if you cant control your spending just use my \" do you really need that ? Will it make a difference on how you be livein ? how big of a hole will it burn in your wallet and how long will you take to recover it ?\"  methood it really works !

[seperot]

thanks for the suggestions....i\'ll be paranoid about water now just so not to get cockroachs o.o

im moving at 10 am todayand i\'ll be gone about a week before i get a connection set up there

adios

[lynx_lupo]

Good luck.

Who can\'t cook pa?ta? Come on, there are simpler things to be made. I\'ve been cooking for myself for half of my life and really, pasta is not that simple. So, don\'t be afraid to try something else.
Chicken fries by itself in an hour. Pizza takes you 20+20mins. Rice is done in 10 mins, by itself and can be eaten with anything. Polenta(corn almost-flour and similar) is done in minutes, use some sauce/ragu/mom\'s gola? for it. Salads are also a matter of minutes. Pancakes hmm(takes me an hour at least) - depends on how you make them. Pa?ta, 10mins + anything. Potatoes may require some extra work, but are again eatable with anything. Instant soups can be edible. I don\'t recommend meat for begginers ^^. And don\'t eat sandwitches for lunch, you\'ll have such junk already at breakfast/break/dinner.
So, there\'s really a lot of normal and healthy fast food

Ramen Noodles, Easy Mac, and a crapload of cheap kool-aid drink mixes.

well, i dont live by myself, but both my parents work and i dont, so during the summer im home all alone every day and have to cook for myself. pretty much i eat ramen noodles everyday, along with some sort of microwaveable thing that has some meat in it, like chicken nuggets or pizza rolls or bagel bites.

Ah, but convenience costs money, and you won\'t get much food out of things that are half packaging.  (Like Lunchables, the world\'s foremost demonstration of the power of advertising. )

Moving to mea own placez0r tooh !11

Seperot. Buy a notebook and make your of fantasy setting or Stuff. Then sell it to somewhere or Stuff.
Get rich or Stuff.

[tygerwilde]

pasta is a good thing, Ramen noodles are like 10 cents for a meal.

eat diversely or you\'ll drive yourself nuts. yet buy cheap as you can

tuna
ramen
peanut butter
lots of bread
the cheapest lunchmeats you can find
if you have to have real meat every once in a while,

pork. get yourself a big roasting pan, a shoulder roast is the cheapest meat you can get, put it in the pan, fill it with water, cook that overnight in the oven at 300 degrees, drain most of the water, pour some barbecue sauce over the top, you\'ll have pulled pork sandwitches to last you a month.



SPICES, a few various cans can be a little on the expensive side, but they can add variety to your meals

I really can\'t stress the diversity thing enough, find yourself different kinds of meals to eat, but be really careful with the money...

eating one kind of thing, day in day out can cause nasty vitamin deficiencies, and even blood infections. try to get some fruit into your system at least once a month.

ya if you do have to spend money at the market, go to a price club, sam\'s club, or Costco or something, buy everything in bulk, there\'s more and it\'s cheaper than buying the smaller sizes in the market.
