Can I survive on 98 pence for 3 days

I have £40.63 left in my account. However I will need £36.45 to go back home, and £3.20 for washing, which leaves me with 98 pence. Im not sure if my bank will give me an overdraft, because last time they didnt let me my account had a 'blackhole'.
Any suggestions.

I'd save the washing - just wash some essentials in your sink & dry them in your room? This is what I do when I'm desperate - it works! Living on 98p would be theoretically possible if you already have some food supplies but I don't think I'd like to try it!

I think if it's between eating and washing, then you should probably save the £3.20.

I have lived off like £2 a week when need be, its tough but its all down to cravings, just lived off bread, packet mash, some butter and any reduced stuff I could find at supermarket.

Get rice.

Or noodles.

How about you take your washing home with you when you go? That saves you 3.20.

Then, just don't buy ANYTHING and eat whatever you have in the house. If you don't have food then buy a bag of 99p rice, bag of frozen veg, and some stock. That's enough food for three days.

Why do you need 36.45 to get home? If that's a train fare I'd have a go getting that cheaper...

Allow the clothes...wash them by hand....borrow some money of a mate.....get a cheaper way to get back home (£1 megabus!) then you have £39.63 for 3 days.....Oh the possibilities..... :biggrin:

Yes very easily - I normally survive on £40 for the month once my rent and bills have been paid for! you just require to train your pallett to accept the value/smart price brand stuff. It makes you money go a lot further.
