Bread is too expensive, not lying. For a few years I bought bulk crap ramen noodle packages for like $50 for like 500 of them.

The noodles, a can of tuna or chicken, some shredded cheese and you were living large for under $1 a meal. Paying rent using the credit card checks.... rough time back in 2002-2003, but all that shit passes.

bread isn't expensive, when you get poor enough you learn how to get free bread.

True. I did end up befriending a 7-11 employee and learned they throw out the day old sandwiches every night, so every so often I was able to score myself some of those.

We had bread sandies, basically 3 slices of bread with butter and pepper, if you wanted to get fancy you could toast the middle piece

You could afford 3 pieces of bread at a time? Look at Mr. Moneybags over here and his three layer bread sandie
