he could've just bought a gigantic bag of potatoes for like 3 $

[fatimalarios]

the irony of an ambulance in front of McDonald's

[bigira]

you don't have to eat like a college boy the problem is you keep ordering food instead of cooking

[PeaceOfMake]

College students usually eat food that's lazy, but not actually cheap.

[bryceflanigan]

Money you spend on quality food isn't wasted money.

[chriswhite]

He didn't live on a college budget, he lived on "college food". He chose what to do with his monetary budget. He could have picked things like eggs, potatoes, etc. and made actual meals.

1:55 Anyone else notice the ambulance outside of McDonald's?

[godslilhelper]

dude i hate the whole i gotta eat ramen noodles to survive in college. Okay maybe if ur super SUPER broke but you can just cook eggs, pasta, and eat bananas. That is how i survived in college.

[dockness]

You'd be surprised how many vegetables, and only vegetables and rice you can get for living on a "college budget".

[ilovesparky]

It would have been really helpful if he'd told us what a "college budget" means to him, because I'm pretty sure we all have different budgets depending on our income, amount of financial aid, how much we eat, and many other factors.

A few months ago I made a list of the cheapest grocery veggies and meals in USA after doing some research. If anyone cares, from least cheap to most, cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, onions, celery and sweet potatoes are all under a dollar a pound. Pinto beans are the cheapest protein, buy them uncooked. You can survive on cheap, healthy meals. I believe!

Ambulance in front of McDonalds. Very classy

[bookofdaisy]

I love how there was an ambulance with its sirens going outside of the Mcdonald's

[hahano]

There was an ambulance outside of the McDonald's before he went in.

It's a sign.

[mcdonaldsmcchicken]

People don't know how to shop. Cmon now. I'm a poor college student, and I cook way better meals than that. People don't know how to get creative.

[nathanng]

You know what I can survive on...




Knowledge

[StudioAnnLe]

LOL, the perfect timing of the ambulance in front of the McDonalds.

[dave]

$180 a week?!?
I'm surviving on $30 a week...

[ericherbert]

What guy in college has a hair dryer but not some regular heat source?

[kaylavictoria]

You can still buy vegetables, fruit, and rice and things like that... The only really expensive food is meat and seafood and depending on the vegetable they can be expensive.
