A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I'm running so fucking low on money, I have to go to the supermarket to eat free bites of ham, cheese and whatever they have on their aisles for breakfast. FML

Today, I'm so broke after paying my bills, that I resorted to eating plain garlic butter from the pizzeria down the street for lunch. The worst part: to get the butter, I stormed in and angrily complained, saying they forgot to give it to me. I never even ordered a pizza. FML

Today, I'm so poor that I've been scrounging around my house all day trying to find quarters and dimes so that I can buy myself a cup of coffee tomorrow. FML

Burgers? In this economy?
Today, I was hungry and I was trying to buy the cheapest burger at Wendy's, but I'm so broke that I had to call my friends to lend me some money. Ugh. FML

Today, I was so broke and hungry that I went to Olive Garden and faked being stood up, just so I could eat their breadsticks. FML

Today, I made a sandwich. When I went to grab chips, my wife snatched it. I made a second sandwich. My son came in and stole the plate when I was grabbing a seltzer. I went to make a third sandwich. No more cold cuts. FML

Today, I'm so broke that I had to get a refund for my unopened hummus, just so I'd be able to afford the bus fare to get to work tomorrow. FML

Sounds… lovely?
Today, by being clumsy when putting my bread slices on a plate, I invented a sensational new type of sandwich: The Nutella-Salmon-Garlic Double-Decker. FML

Because it's over rated?

Toasters cost money

Toast overrated? <incredulous gasp> I.....I...am speechless. Toast is super!

You can make toast in an oven.

You can make toast on any concentrated heat source. I once heated pizza on an iron. I've also heated pizza on the hot part of a coffee machine beneath the pot.

Probably not the healthiest, but I like to spread butter and sprinkle sugar on top of a piece of bread or toast when it's all I have. Every once in awhile doesn't hurt and it satisfies my sweet tooth.

At least you had breakfast. Anyways, hope things soon, OP. For the better, of course.

At least you can afford bread and butter. Maybe you can mix it up and throw some cheese slices in there (grilled cheese)

Or if you had an egg, you could do french toast. Bread and butter can be made into a lot of different meals with just one or two small extra ingredients.

Or an egg sandwich..kinda like an egg mcmuffin just minus the muffin lol. I must say its pretty good
vegantreegirl 26
I'm sure if he had an egg he probably would have eaten that. Eggs are expensive in a lot of areas.

eggs where I'm at cost $3 for 60

Holy crap! I pay 13$ for 60.

If you have an egg and some sugar you could even make yourself bread and butter pudding.

In Australia they're $6 for 12. Free range though. Battery - not that I'd ever buy - $4 for $12.

Could you not afford to toast it?

At least it wasn't a "jam" sandwich. You know? Jam 2 pieces of bread together and chow down. Seriously though, it sucks when the cash flow is a no go. It'll get better OP. Hang in there.

I think it would be quite the jam sandwich. Because OP seems to be in quite the jam.

#6 your comment was pretty funny to me. I not sure why others are disagreeing, but you have my support!

It's worse when all you have is bread and mayonnaise. As someone who had to eat a mayo sandwich for lunch regularly throughout my childhood, I can say that butter or jelly is not that bad.
Lalala579121 28
69 - The sandwich in 6's description is just two pieces of bread. The "jam" in this instance is the verb form of jam, not the food.

At least you have money for breakfast. Look on the brightside OP!

Have you ever put butter on a pop tart it's so freaking good!

+1 for the family guy reference. Sorry you're being downvoted!

I lived of of those as a teenager, not because i was broke, but because i love the taste! With jelly and butter its sooo much better.

If you lived in the US, I could teach you how to shop to get a week's worth of healthy and filling food for less than $10, but I'm not sure how grocery sales and coupons work in Russia. I hope things look up for you soon.
