Yeah no judgement for being frugal at McD's expense. 1) Fuck McD's, and 2) Do what to gotta do. There was a point in my life where I got meals from the condiment station at a college cafeteria. They had free ketchup, and a hot water dispenser thing for making tea, so I'd make 'tomato soup' by making myself a bowl of hot ketchup water. Couple handfuls of a single package saltines, and there's lunch. Life sucks when you can't afford anything, but it does make you become pretty creative when it comes to saving money.
