Things you've done when you've had no money.Apart from the usual survival rations of beans, white bread and Doll Noodles™, we've all done things to compensate for having no money. Personally I spent 6 months barefoot to save on the cost of shoes. What pathetic things have you done when the cash ran out?

Oh how we laugh now....When I first moved to London with my sister about 6 years ago we had a budget as tight as a camel's fanny in a sandstorm so had to resort to various money saving schemes. These included: 1.Sharing bath water (if I had only had a cam corder all our money worries would have been over I am sure) 2.Going to Covent Garden cafes and telling the waiter it was one of ours birthday to get free ice cream/beer 3. Having alloted smoking times where we both had to be present for the sharing of one Superking cigarette. 4. Waiting for the already cheap and nasty food in Somerfields to be knocked down (also chucking the 9p tins of beans on the floor to dent them therefore getting them cheaper) 5. Sharing a bed in the winter so we didn't have to put the heating on (and spending all day Saturday and Sunday in it)6. Using supersavers fabric conditioner on our hair. 7. Eating nothing but economy fish fingers for months. Oh - and stealing bog roll from various offices where I was temping - by the carrier bag full.
Oh how we didn't laugh at the time........
