I told you to get your money refunded from amazon since I never got the package you sent me. How you got the address wrong both times is odd though, seeing as how it's right on Elster.
I'm 99% sure she said on ML that she accidentally sent the package to her home address. She was gone during the holidays or something. Then kept the package for herself.
Yes, I sent the package twice and both times sent it to myself. After the 2nd return it was already late February so I said eff it.
Then in early April I thought, hey I should send this. I did and turns out I sent it to the wrong address.
Alls well though, got the correct address from elfster, cleaned out my address book on Amazon and looking not for a gift to send after the 16th.
What exactly is your struggle then Bliss? It's not your budget, it's not your fake diet, it's not getting people to offer you real advise that you don't want to hear or bother to think about, it's not having a low paying job and not having the spending money you want. It's not that you think drinking it a basic need. It's obviously not that you still, after all these years of your bullshit, can still get people to pay attention to your lying-ass-ways and waste their time responding to your inane posts that you claim to not want responses to.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE "STRUGGLE" YOU REFERENCE IN THE TITLE?
I'm not sure what I'd do now becausemy reality is so different (i have 4 kids to think about fir example)...but back when I had really no money I'd eat ramen, cereal, milk, Kraft Mac n cheese, frozen veggies, an occassional egg, plain bagels & coffee. I'd probably eat 2 meals a day instead of 3 & only eat when I was really hungry. If I hadn't eaten all day, I might run out & get a McDs value meal back when the 2cheesburger one was $2.99. I'm sure $75 would be enough for2wks but if not, I would use my CC. Just keepin' it real. . I was not a healthy eater...at all, I'm still not great. I'd actually smoke cigs too if I had the $ back then which helped to kill my appetite.
If I only had $75 to spend, I know I'd get hit with a $25 fee from my bank right off the top. With the remaining $50, I'd spend $30 on basics from TJs ( peanut butter, eggs, 2 loaves of bread, dried pasta, spaghetti sauce, a bag of frozen chicken, rice, beans, canned veggies, and apples). I wouldn't spend the remaining $20. I'd pray that I didn't have an accident, or need to go to urgent care. I'd use the car for work only, and use my bike for free community events. I'd also try to focus my volunteering on places that offer food to volunteers.
Why the fee from your bank? A low account balance fee?
On the short term, you can get by living on corn flakes, milk, and ramen. Not feasible long term though. Farmers markets are great for produce, and I'm happy to see you mention it in the original post. Do you have Bountiful Basket in your area? They are all over the country. (Bountifulbaskets.org) You get 6 fruits and 6 vegetables for $15. (One type of food counts for each, not each individual item. For instance, today I got 7 apples which counted as one fruit.) I'll post a pic of today's basket I received in a minute. It's a great way to get cheap fruits and veg that are fresh, in season, and tasty.
If she has sent Elster gifts to the wrong address two years in a row (multiple times this year), I'd probably stay away from online food services. Who knows where the food would end up!

I remembered incorrectly. The year before, you neglected to pick up the gift from the post office. I think my point still stands.
What is your annual salary? IIRC, you posted a while back that you have a decent paying job. How do you manage to get into situations where you only have $76 to last 16 days?

Like I mentioned in previous posts.... I bought a plane ticket hkme knowing full well I might have to dip into savings $20-50.
$76 for one person to last a little over 2 weeks isn't anything.
ETA - I have a savings. And seriously $75 is half my monthly budget.
Mac n cheese is 10 for 10 dollars. That plus a pack of hot dogs and I would be good on food. The rest would be saved for a tank of gas if needed and any random toiletry I may run out of.

That's not what I asked. You said you may dip into savings for $20-50. The way that I am reading that is that pretty much taking out any amount of money from your savings account is a big deal. Maybe that's not how you meant it, but I've gotten that vibe throughout this whole post. So I ask how much money you are making, because if you knew you were flying home, that's something you should have included in your budget without the idea of having to dip into savings, unless the trip is an emergency trip, and had you included the ticket in your budget, you wouldn't be essentially choosing between wine and gas for 16 days.
