How much food can I buy with 50 cents?

[Vaxen]

See, my stupid wife just ran away to Delaware (I live in Mississippi) with all my money. Thing is, there's litterally nothing left to eat in the kitchen rn because she took all the food with her as well. I did find 50 cents under the table, but I am not getting my paycheck until next Thursday. So with 50 cents, how much food can I buy that will keep me going for at least 3 days? I do make a lot of money, so in 3 days it wont be a problem, but until then, I need help to find what I can buy with that much money. Thanks.

Rice and/or flour it is. If there's at least a grocery store around, you should be good.

If even that's not possible, try living off tree leaves and barks. Furthest thing from sanitary, but tried and true in desperate situations.

Eh, I don't like eating trees, it's gross. I tried barking at trees too, nothing happened.

I have water, but I have to eat food, I really really like food.

Well if you really *must* eat then ramen noodles would most likely be your most cost-effective way to go, unless you know of a nearby bakery that sells day-old bread at a reduced price. Either of those would be your best bet, I'm thinking.

See, the only thing I got is a convinience store 1 mile away, i think they have ramen..

Bon Appétit then. ;)

But are there perhaps more options? I want to explore every option possible

Guy I knew got into fasting craze and went into one of those fasting camp events where they didnt eat anything and only drank water for a week.
He ended up completely nuts showing symptoms similar to schizophrenia, he had to hospitalized for a month to get him back to his old self.
Not to mention it`s a gateway to eating disorders that can really screw up your life.
Dont mess with fasting, your body is a electro-chemical machine and needs the fuel to run, nothing good comes from fasting more then few days.
Just because fasting works for you doesnt mean that everyone would have similar effect, people are not all the same with same genetics and health conditions.

Thanks but I'll take published scientific findings over the experience of 'a guy you knew' (who may or may not have been mentally ill before fasting).

And the rest of your word salad appears to be based more on your own personal opinion about fasting than anything rooted in fact.

Thanks anyway.

Well my personal opinion is based on having to be one of the three people who dragged this guy to the mental institution to get him back to normal so I´m kinda biased. And no he didnt had any previous signs of mental illness before.

Here is also some food for thought (snicker) about fasting and the body image that social media pushes on people:

Ramen costs more like 30-40cents, and that's the cheap kind. It can go all the way up to over a dollar a piece for brands like Nongshim. Even online they're cheap only if you buy in bulk, meaning it'd be more than .50 to get the 12 or 24 pack or whatever

But I'm sure you could find some cheap dept. type dollar store that has them for cheaper. And yes I know we're likely being trolled but I just wanted to express my amazement that some places still may have ramen single-packs for 15 cents.

Apples and Oranges.

Fasting and starving oneself because they suffer from 'body image' issues are WORLDS apart.

I would argue that such people are in need counselling LONG before it comes to the point where they decide to restrict their intake of food - whereas your own (as yet unproven) claim was that fasting causes or somehow leads to mental health issues. I say again: Hogwash.

I'd also add that none of this has anything whatsoever to do with the OP's expressed 'predicament' or my suggestion to fast as a possible solution.

Now, I'm done with you.

Welcome to my 'Bye-Bye Bin' (and say hi for me to the others).

From my experience common sense will often serve you better then a ton of scientific studies that are most of them overturn in a few decades anyway or sometimes even faster then that, especially when it comes to things considered to be good for your health.
Hunger is there for a reason.

Do you really believe doing empirical research would help you find answers to a local issue?
That's fascinating!
