  maskedangel, seriously take this as an opportunity to make use of your brain to come up with ways to earn extra cash.

  I know a certain forumer here who imports things to sell so that he can earn some pocket money before going to uni... He has earned quite a bit...

  a loaf of bread cost less than 2 dollars. it is possible. drink more water. eat those food that have a lot of starch. think it will fill your stomach better.

  hmm.. although im nv in this situation before.... but letme gauge ar....

  breakfast - $1 (bread, pie)

  lunch - $3

  dinner - $3

  for drinks, just drink plain water

  for lunch and dinner, most food is around $3, sometimes $2.50, so maybe can save a little in between?

  buy those cai png type of food, add 30cents of rice to be more filling
  if sian then switch to noodles.... western food no $3 so im afraid you have to give it a miss.. but too much western food also not good

   

  dont eat too much instant noodles.. really not good..

  btw why the sudden change?

  well, i taking driving license. Dad gonna pay partially, i tink around 80%???
  
  so i need to save up.
  
  and its good to start the habit while i still can.
  
  without realising, i can easily spend $40-$60 in a day on food and stuff i don need.
  
  so, im trying to restrict myself

  i would suggest you calculate one month you have how much to spend, then each time beore you buy something, you jot it down in ur notebook first then see the left over amount how much. like that every day you can keep trak how much you spend and ur balance as well.

  oh.. i see. yea savin is good, i also need to save up for sch fees liao. hoot more part-time jobs

  anyway, in my opinion la, eat must eat, food better dont save, but you can save on other stuffs. I think food is the thing that cannot be kiam, thats my mom told us, but other stuffs like entertainment thing can save then save. But i dont mean eat buffet every day.

  It's really unhealthy to eat instant noodles too often.

  For breakfast, u can make egg toast with just eggs and bread.

  Do u noe Mac got 2 dollar breakfast? U can eat that once in awhile to satisfy ur Mac hunger.

  As for lunch and dinner, nowadays hawker food prices are increasing so minimum ard 2.50 - 3 bucks.

  Or u can buy pasta and whatever ingredients u have at home to cook for dinner. It's not that hard to cook pasta and it's much better than eating instant noodles.

  Tell urself not to eat too much or else u will become fat.
