I got about $50 for gas and food for the rest of the month
I'm going to need almost all of that for gas so I did a quick survey of what food I have and it looks like I could easily last a month.
4 loafs of bread (frozen)
10 bagels (frozen)
3 1/2 gal of mil (frozen)
8 gal of cold tea (enough teabags to make that much)
2 doz eggs
1 lb of mild cheddar cheese
1 lb of processed cheese singles
64 oz of tomato juice
27 servings of canned soup
42 servings of canned vegetables
8 lbs of cabbage
1 lb of carrots
1 stalk of celery
8 lbs of brown, white and wild rice
4 lbs of dried kidney beans
2 lbs of dried pinto beans
2 lbs of black beans
1 1/2 lbs of lentils
5 cans of kidney beans
1 lb of dried navy beans
68 servings of hot cereal
32 servings of cold cereal
1 12 oz package of hotdogs
1 lb ground hamburger
1 5 3/4 lb whole chicken
8 1/4 lb of pork roast (frozen)
9 1/2 lb spiral ham (frozen)
5 1/4 lb of pork riblet (frozen)
8 lb of chicken breast (frozen)
1 lb of canned chicken chunks in water
1 1/2 lb of cod fish (frozen)
1 lb of pollack fish (frozen)
8 boxes of jello
2 lbs of butter
2 lbs of margarine
various condiments, sauces, spices and boxes of pasta
My daily menu will be something like this:
Breakfast
1 serving of hot or cold cereal with milk or tomato juice
Lunch
1 serving of soup
1/2 bagel or 1 slice of bread with 2 tb of peanut butter or 1 slice of toast with a poached egg or a grilled cheese sandwich
1 serving of raw or canned vegetables
1 cup of milk
Mid afternoon snack
1 serving of raw vegetable
Dinner
1 serving of chicken or ham or pork roast or pork riblet or fish
1 serving of rice with beans
1 slice of bread or 1/2 bagel with margarine or butter
1 serving of cooked, steamed or boiled vegetables
1 cup of milk
1 serving of jello
For fruit, there are a few bags of frozen blueberries and raspberries in the freezer of unknown weight and quantity. I can also purchase some apples and bananas.
While breakfast, lunch and the afternoon snack will be consistent with what I listed above, I do have options for dinner to make it more varied.

7. Strict food rationing in Britain during WWII improved the population's health.
Well, yeah.
How about if we put those getting fat on food stamps on "strict food rationing," able to get only healthy foodstuffs?

8. Thanks to trump and ryan...
we might live forever.
By the way, this Ohio Safe guy, who deals in used goods, is a chronic complainer.....about everything.
In case one hasn't noticed.

16. We're in the same boat.
Except we completely ran out of money about 5 days ago.
We have enough dog food, thanks to the generosity of others.
We're running out of eggs, bread, coffee, half & half, and butter.
We're already out of cold cuts and cheese.
In the freezer we have 1 pkg of Italian sweet sausage, a pkg of chicken breast cutlets, 1/2 bag frozen green beans, and about 6 hash brown patties.
We have some canned tuna, some boxes of pasta, a few cans of kidney beans, 1/2 jar peanut butter, and half a bag of brown rice.
The irony is that I stopped buying cigarettes because I couldn't afford them, but now I'm eating like a pig.
We've been boiling water to do dishes (for the last month) to conserve on heating oil (which we only use for hot water) but we're going to run out of that soon and may have to shower at the neighbors.
This has been a very tough winter for us. We thought by now we wouldn't have to buy any more wood pellets, but there's snow in the forecast for Sunday and we only have one bag of pellets left. We spent a fortune of repairs to keep the truck functional.
I wish I could help you, because last month I was lucky enough to get quite a bit of help and I'd love to pay it forward.
It sucks being a primitive.

My God. They really ARE pathetic.

I never heard them bitch about suffering during the Obozo years? All of a sudden....

Talk to Obama, who did his dead level best to throttle and stop oil and gas production in the US! Talk to your EnviroProgs who were demanding tax increases to bring gasoline prices up to $5 per gallon!

Since May 1 is a Tuesday, I figure that every one of them referring to that date is talking about their next handout of government largess.
-
That is a lot of food for one person to go through in 17 days.

Shoot the dog and stew it with the dog food.

Gas went up 30 or 40 cents here. if that will break you you need to get rid of the car. Having a Costco membership lets you save 30 to 40 cents a gallon on gas.
Eat more beans and you will have plenty of gas. :loser: :loser: :-)

I hope they all starve to death.

Y'all are missing the inadvertently made important confession.

She/He/IT must be referring to the Pelosi/Schumer/Reid Tax Relief Bill that was passed. :whistling:
I can't help to think that DUmmy Kaleva is a mole.

Appears that the internet and cell phone bills are being paid though so that's good. ::)

Yo, Kaleva! May I offer a suggestion? ...

That's the part that kills me... thats like 5 bucks increase in a tank of gas.
Hard for me to relate though... I fill my car up and a tank lasts me for 2-3 months. I work from home. My biggest complaint is having to keep my car on a battery minder all the time so it doesn't go dead from sitting.

I keep the cts on the road all the time... gets up to 28 if the wife doesn't drive it. Worst thing I have to deal with is a kid.bumping the pizza box into the shifter putting it in neutral in an intersection. That was my excitement for the evening

$5 extra for gas?
That just means I gotta keep up my momentum, and don't slow down for pedestrians.

I'm amazed that somebody would waste the time to type up that inventory list in the OP.

:rotf: :lmao: :rotf:
Reminds me of that Monty Python 4 Yorkshire Men skit.
Michael Palin: Ahh.. Very passable, this, very passable.
Graham Chapman: Nothing like a good glass of Chateau de Chassilier wine, ay Gessiah?
Terry Jones: You're right there Obediah.
Eric Idle: Who'd a thought thirty years ago we'd all be sittin' here drinking Chateau de Chassilier wine?
MP: Aye. In them days, we'd a' been glad to have the price of a cup o' tea.
GC: A cup ' COLD tea.
EI: Without milk or sugar.
TJ: OR tea!
MP: In a filthy, cracked cup.
EI: We never used to have a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper.
GC: The best WE could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.
TJ: But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor.
MP: Aye. BECAUSE we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me, 'Money doesn't buy you happiness.'
EI: 'E was right. I was happier then and I had NOTHIN'. We used to live in this tiiiny old house, with greaaaaat big holes in the roof.
GC: House? You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING!
TJ: You were lucky to have a ROOM! *We* used to have to live in a corridor!
MP: Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin' in a corridor! Woulda' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph.
EI: Well when I say 'house' it was only a hole in the ground covered by a piece of tarpolin, but it was a house to US.
GC: We were evicted from *our* hole in the ground; we had to go and live in a lake!
TJ: You were lucky to have a LAKE! There were a hundred and sixty of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road.
MP: Cardboard box?
TJ: Aye.
MP: You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, our Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!
GC: Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!
TJ: Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.
EI: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, (pause for laughter), drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing 'Hallelujah.'
MP: But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.
ALL: Nope, nope..

14. Very few, if any, starved to death during the Great Depression
"From job security to home foreclosures, there are plenty of things for people to worry about during a recession. But a growing body of research suggests that there's one negative outcome that is actually less likely during an economic downturn: death. "

15. A lot fewer
workplace deaths too.
When unemployment is at 25%, that leaves fewer people in the workplace with the potential to die there, you simpleton.
People probably saved all kinds of money that they ordinarily would've had to spend on work boots during the great depression too.

What kind of loser can't come up with $50.00 for a costco membership? :thatsright:

That would go double for Bob.
