Taco meat, spaghetti, and chili were meals that could each last a week and were easy to make.

Make one each week, three weeks in a row, rinse and repeat.

When I was a poor college kid, I used to go to Jack N the box a lot. I would order a jumbo jack and two tacos for $2 bucks.

Two bags of spicy shrimp flavored Raman, two boxes or Mac and cheese, 1 pack of chopped up hot dogs.

Mix it all up in a crock pot and you can feast off it for a few days.

Similar, take my plasma money to the Tigerland convenience store. Gallon of milk, loaf of bread, cheese slices and bologna.

The rest of the money went to Sports, Fred’s and The Tiger/Fat Nick’s whatever else it was called.

While at LSU I would get a burrito at the Circle K on Brightside (?). The last one I got had a machine screw in it.. I bite down on it and nearly drove the screw into my top pallet... No more of that crap...
