Here’s my ultimate cheap college food story.
When I was in college, I wasted all my money partying and called my dad in tears saying I was starving. He replied, “I can’t let my daughter starve but I won’t enable,” and mailed me a full month’s supply of instant grits. “Eat these and learn how to budget,” he said.
For the next thirty days I ate nothing but grits. By the end of that month I had learned to manage my money. Nothing teaches financial discipline like plain grits. 😂
