I had food stamps while in college. Most students did. Took about 20 mins to apply and got my card in week. It was around $100 a month. And whatever wasn't spent was rolled over.
Also lived in government housing for students.
I would scrounge in my couch after parties for change and that's how I paid for gas money. I had no shame in putting $3.45 in change on the counter at the gas station.
Also. When we would throw parties we would have plastic sacks for people to throw thier cans. We would take the cans to the grocery store and recycle them for 15 cents a piece.
That would pay for a couple 40oz OEs for each of us.
