What is the craziest thing you've done when your broke?

Asked by Akua (4730points) April 5th, 2013

I know others have asked a similar question but I was curious to know what others have done specifically when they were broke. I’m saving to buy a house and me and hubby are on a TIGHT budget. Last week we bought a box of wine because it was cheap ($10) and tonight I found myself actually cutting open the bag inside the box to get out the last of the wine. I thought to myself “I wonder if any of my other fluther buddies have sunk this low?” So here I am asking you all to make my broke ass laugh by telling me some of the crazy things you have done when your broke or to just save money. This last year I have eaten PB&J sandwiches everyday for lunch, cut off cable TV and washed my clothes in the bathtub. I can’t even afford to get my reading glasses out of layaway yet, but cutting open a box of wine is by far the most pathetic thing I’ve done thusfar. Can anyone top that?
