When the younger of my two older sisters was in college, I would always hear her complain, "I'm a poor college student."
My thoughts?
Stop whining. You are not that poor, you have plenty of money, blah blah blah.
Well, here is my formal apology Angela, because I now see what you meant.
I am a poor college student.
(Side note: here is a link to my sister Angela's blog, featuring some crazy Korean food. She is currently teaching English in South Korea).
That being, being a poor college student (PCS for future reference) does not necessarily mean being a cheap college student when it comes to food.
Being cheap when it comes to food is easy. There is Wendy's, $5 pizzas and frozen food at your fingertips, and that often sounds more appealing than actually cooking a meal. But is being cheap always going to be affordable? That's what I plan on finding out.
Over the next week, I plan on figuring out what is the least expensive way to eat. I am going to document what I eat compared to what a "cheap" version of that food would have cost me.
Now this mission may not be on par with this guy's quest to eat on a budget, but it should be a good test to see how much college students waste on certain types of foods.
(In the meantime, here is a list of "cheap" foods)
