Buy rice or oatmeal. It's bland but it'll stick to your ribs and should last you.

and yea, trading in a video game would help

apples, bread, cheap cheese, tea.

grilled cheese will last you at three meals a day at least 3 days, an apple a day keeps the dr away, and tea is good, but you could get more bread or something instead.

ill assume you do nothing but play starcraft all day so this should sustain you just fine

Hahaha, that's awful man. Yeah, I do find it quite humorous that you got into this situation as an accountant, but moneyshitstorms generally happen to everyone at some point... Self-inflicted or otherwise. =P

Just do what everyone else here said, go trade a game in somewhere, sell something, or take some of that shit back.

I would recommend once you are out of this mess to start an emergency fund so you don't find yourself in this position again

I mean I don't know why you're not just getting a loan of about $100 from a bank or a credit union. That's the obvious solution here. You don't need any other advice...

its called a budget

if you dont have the budget to buy a top of the line computer AND go $500 shopping at a mall then don't buy that much crap dude.

start keeping track of your income, your expenses, and how much you usually spend on food and then the excess is what you can spend on shit for yourself. it's part of that whole "growing up" thingy.

I had credit cards in the past but cancelled them - philosophy is to never spend the money that I don't have.

And no, I'm usually very careful with my spendings, it's just I didn't expect rent and utilities to be so much for the new place, I have roughly $8000 in mutual funds and TFSAs, but those are untouchable at least on a short term.

I'm 20, I look pretty young so I might just wear my baggy high school clothes and offer snow shoveling services to neighbors as a teenager or something.

A bag of 5kg rice is only $5, plus I can always buy some instant noodles which are 4 for $1.

Yah I'm a genius, brb with rice and noodles.

Get ketchup packets/sauce packets from fast food places. Mix the ketchup packets with water for tomato soup. If you can get that 94 cents to 99 cents a day or a little more I'm sure you could find something with a lot of calories on the $1 menu to make you last.

Go to the mall/food outlet and see if they have any free food samples.

Sell stuff/return stuff as people have mentioned.

Although honestly, if you need that plus $15 more for gas it seems like you're not going to be able to just squeeze by. Most likely you're going to have to sell something, borrow or make money somehow.
Nothing to it but to do it.

Its not possible, you have to sell something or w/e...
I´ve actually had the most cost-efficient day ever (saving money for my trip) and spend:
Breakfast: Oat meal with some milk - 20 cents
Lunch: 2 packs of noodles (theye were 30 cents a piece so 60 + 20 carrots 60 cents) = 1,20
dinner: Pork on sale with "potatoes" (raggmunk, dunno what its called in english) = 1,30
Total: 2, 70 dollars

Thats about how cheap you can get it if you want to still be able to think straight, at least in sweden!
Bisu[about JD]=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.
