Buy nothing but food for a month: Could you do it?

This is something I did buy in 2015:

Jet.com - Prices Drop As You Shop

After a couple of minor botches the first time or two which left me kind of lopsided, I figured it out, plus I picked up a little table mirror at the dollar store which allowed me to see the back of my head during the haircut process. Military buzz cuts would be a snap. It's not that hard to do and you save $10-15 or more a shot, even from the BoCuts franchise joints. The clipper set pays for itself within two cuts.

Plus, you can touch it up every couple weeks or whenever you want. When I'm paying full freight for haircuts I tend to grow out to full Grizzly Adams status in two or three months before I shell out for a shearing. With the clipper set I can stay relatively neat.

 

I maybe could have when I was 23 and single and there were certain times during the year I maybe could have walked to work and gotten by on one tank of gas the whole month.

Not now. It seems like there is something I have to get for my kids every other day. School supplies, present for a birthday party. Replacing clothes that are worn out or outgrown.

 

This doesn't sound like something I'd be remotely interested in trying. YOLO and all that shit.

 

How did BT Express not start this thread?

 

He's in a meeting with Putin.

 

No one has mentioned toilet paper.

 

I buy CDs occasionally because I have them on display as a conversation piece and want to fill the empty space in the tower.

 

That's a recurring expense. Dollar store, 4 rolls for a buck.

It's cheap-ass asswipe, but it does the job. And even the warehouse stores don't sell it for a quarter per roll.

And technology of the 21st century has definitely improved the quality of cheap-ass asswipe from years past, where the really low-budget shit was factory-rejected newsprint or slick wrapping paper.

 

Does this challenge cover gas? Nobody outside of the Unabomber can go a month without incurring expenses other than those on food.

 

I can now.

 

I remember some jackwagon talking about how he was self-sufficient, to the point of baking his own bread. Maybe he grew his own wheat and milled it into flour, but I doubt it.
