I'm not broke, I just don't want to spend my money on food.

I'm disabled and I live alone. I get 1,143 each month from my disability bill, which is fine. I get an additional 20$ EBT card per month, which is not fine. I have a budget of 10$ per day. <br><br>This sub is great for price ideas and I am thankful for it. But I am still having trouble affording to eat. It always seems to be more than 10$ for one meal. <br><br><br>What I bought for 20$ today:<br>- 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts<br>- 1 bag of apples<br>- 1 loaf of bread (I live next to a store and walk so I don't want to buy big things because I have to carry it home.)<br>- 1 lb of ground beef<br>- 1 bottle of salsa<br>- 1 bag of beans<br>- 1 bag of tortilla chips<br>- 1 loaf of buns<br>- 1 box of hotdogs<br>- 1 bag of limes<br>- 1 bag of peppers<br>- 1 bag of oranges<br>- 1 box of cornbread<br>- 1 box of pasta<br>- 1 bag of grapes<br>- 2 boxes of mac and cheese<br>- 1 bag of popcorn kernels<br>- 1 box of puffed cheese<br>- 1 cup of horseradish<br>- 1 bag of coffee<br>- 2 boxes of oatmeal<br>- 1 jar of jam<br>- 1 box of brownie mix<br>- 1 loaf of cinnamon rolls<br><br>I still need to buy:<br>- oil<br>- milk<br>- sugar<br>- flour<br>- rice<br>- water<br>- salt<br>- pepper<br>- flour<br>- sugar<br><br>I only have 10$ left after all of my other expenses. <br><br>Any ideas for how I can afford to eat?<br><br>Edit 1: <br><br>I live in Alaska and it is illegal for me to own chickens. I am also an alcoholic but I am sober. I am not disabled due to my alcoholism. <br><br>Edit 2: <br><br>I have looked into getting food stamps but I still won't qualify. I have applied for financial aid for college. I am currently trying to get promoted at my job. I have applied to other jobs but they are all full. I have tried gardening outside but it's winter. I have tried to get help from churches and other sources. Nobody qualifies me or they are full. <br><br>I have an idea of what poverty is like now. It simply does not make sense.
