Is this really that hard to do...?
- Don't buy shit you don't need.
- Don't buy name-branded shit that costs $5 more then store brand.
- Buy in bulk, it tends to be cheaper that way.
- Coupons if you can get any.
- Whole sale stores over markets. (BJs, Sams Club, etc. tend to be cheaper.)
Just use common sense. Don't eat at McDonalds every day, and don't buy a ton of crap you don't need or don't have to have. _________________

Okay here's the thing. No cooking in dormitory. At most I buy some canned goods and take vitamins to compensate. I also go some fast foods alot but I am changing that soon and stock up on some canned goods instead.
I'm not sure what to buy though. I feel that eating canned goods everyday is just as bad as eating fast food every day.
I'm a bit new to this, sorry. _________________

I got an easy way i bought a painting for $20.00 and its worth $1000.00. The way you want to make cash is in your town or city is to find old objects that can be worth alot you find some one interested in buying and sold you get your money. How i would do it is go to kijji or some website you can sell stuff on. _________________

That's quite a gamble. In any case, I prefer budgeting over that. _________________

Are you at least allowed things like kettles? Because then you can eat things such as soup, noodles.
What do you actually need apart from food? |

Not at all.
School supplies at most but I have a separate budget for that. I overspent sooo much on food last month that I feel the need to learn to budget. _________________

Things like that are kinda important to mention when you are asking for help lol.
Do you have access to a microwave though? If so you can still cook most things by boiling water in the microwave. Takes about 5 minutes but it works.
As for your canned goods, just look at the nutrients on the labels, make sure you are getting what you need daily out of everything you are eating. You can also make salads with various fruits/vegetables.
If you do have access to a microwave, you can get things like corn, greenbeans, soups, noodles, etc. that can all be microwaved. _________________
