Chicken is too expensive? Hang im there things will pick up.
Have you tried potted meat and saltines?
Dude, i make under 2k/month. I work a data entry/website update from home on irregular workloads.
Within 2wks i'll be leaving Canada to the middle east to work an admin job, food there is alot cheaper, and easy access to human grade gear straight from the pharmacy.
So yes, i'm "hanging in there".
