nikka I just told you. Explained it in plain English. We talking 300 for food. And the life we are talking about, is the life of the OP who got about 100-300 left for the month
People in the hood living off less than 300 in food.
They shop at everything is a dollar store. They eat oodles of noodles. They eat cereal for dinner. They eat low grade meat. They eat simple meals. They skip meals. They eat a lot of sandwiches. Etc etc
Like I said before. This is not ideal. This is actually the reason why Americas health is so poor. Cause a lot of poor people have to eat shytty cheap food, in order to make ends meet. While those with money are eating 3 balanced meals a day with money left over for snacks
Apply for EBT or get another gig. 
This makes me lucky I got this Nordstrom gig for $13.15 with overtime on the table frequently at $19.15
...it's cake as hell too, and the rent in the surrounding Seattle area hasn't gone dumb stupid yet
Check back in 5 years wit me though
But a dog breh when you only have like $800 leftover money? You taking into account health and shyt too,grooming,
Plan you damn meals too...you may as well get on a little diet, buy in bulk some ground meats,chicken breasts,thighs,etc and plan them damn meals. It'll save you a nice bit of money,none of that "Damn don't got shyt eat tonight,lemme go get a pizza and spend $10"
...$10 you can make spaghetti that'll be enough to have leftovers for tomorrow lunch 
Also doing little shyt like instead of buying that $3 prego,just buy the canned crushed tomatoes for way cheaper and hook it up with your own seasonings...TUTTORUSSO'S !!

It aint just for food nikka. Its 300 left to stretch for 4 weeks. That includes SOME food. What about emergencies...entertainment....smokes...a night out with ya girl or homies. Yeah these are extra expenses but realistic ones none the less. You see it as food cost and nothing I see it as 300 to essentially live off of for the entire month. Thats some hard ass living breh. Thats my point. shyt I spend 250 a week just on getting back and forth....This includes lunch if need be...breakfast...cigars...gas I have to fill up weekly...got a wife she needs shyt. Just saying if I had to I would...but because I dont its alot easier to assume I could....until I really had too. nikka works just to come home to nothing....fukk that.

I guess you gotta follow the thread
He said he had 800 after paying no rent. Then dude said the rest of his bills, gas included, should leave him with 300
And yes. You're right. For all the extra shyt, he gonna be short. And that's where he fukked up at
But if you living check to check, you better be cutting out all that extra shyt asap. No it's not a good life. No you not about to have any fun. No you not gonna have any money if an emergency happens
But this is how it is for some people. Some people are fukked up in the game. This is when you gotta make hard choices. Do I pay my light bill his month or let it be late so I can do a b and c
This is when you have nikkas spending rent money at the club. Cause they want to have fun but can't afford it. Then gotta pay the light bill with the phone bill money. Then be late on the phone or put half down and start scrambling
66% of Americans make less than 41k a year. the avg household makes 53k. That's the entire house.
America ain't as rich as we'd like to believe. It's just that our rich are way more richer
