If you was running out of money would you eat everything you had in one go or try and space it out and when I say everything I my right down to bottles of ketchup
I space it out best i can. Many a time we have been without food. There are ways to get it. Check local food pantries. Soup kitchens. There are ways to get food. pasta is really cheap, if you can get a little butter and salt makes for a great meal, and filling with very little money. Best wishes!
