Loaf of bread is only $1.50
Homemade spaghetti sauce is CHEAP since my parents grow tomatoes and I can freeze the stuff (and its a huge batch)
Spaghetti noodles are l i k e $1.00
Rice.. I don't know honestly that stuff is so cheap
Of course ramen.. at sam's it's abt $.14 if you buy it in bulk, haha
I've found plenty of different things to eat that are cheap.

Seriously it costs nothing to eat.. I bought a big ol bottle of 1 a day men's for $10 and that keeps me from killing myself on this much food. I've found tons of cheap stuff to eat.

I u s e a walmart helmet so a loan is starting to sound l i k e a better idea since the helmet was $25 and I'd l i k e to have more money invested in the thing that protects my noggin.

 

But 70% Down, Finance the Rest w/o co-signer if at all possible and save the rest for emergencies li.ke said previously. Goodluck!!
