nah. . . i don qualify for the scholarship. . -
hmm...i think you should do research on wot food makes you full easily and cheap......
bananas could make you full easily but it would suck to eat bananas the those day.......
for breads try to get wholemeals if possible.....it will be better for you than normal bread if you're planning to spend while taking in mind your diet......

hmmm. Lets say i eat once in school, spent about $4, den by instant noodle to go home cook, possible idea rite?Heres one of my idea : Try to have a heavy breakfast, so that you eat lesser during lunch. Hence you will have enough money at night. You can't possible have maggie mee every night right? Its bad for your health over time.

my school the canteen food damn cheap...but i feel like the portion is for primary school.....maybe i'm just a bloody big eater

no such thing as not enough money. only how much you are willing to spend. i'm pretty sure there are cheaper alternatives for food. in the worst case scenario you can simply cut down on food. have you attempted to apply for financial aid?

Scenario
In polythecnic, lets say a daily 9am-6pm routine in school
given $7 a day to survive for breakfast, lunch and dinner, is it possible?
Taken into consideration that parents don cook, and onli give $7.
Please share ur views
can unless you one day take one meal... if not one day $7 for 3 meals is hard -

Can one... But the main thing is you MUST NOT CHOOSE YOUR FOOD!!!! I had try this before.. And unless you are really low in cash.. Dont do it.. I eat one full month of bee hon.. Only bee hon.. nothing else.. That time f** x**** sell one packet of bee hon only for $1. Now i think is $1.50. But you see, i buy 2 packet. So that $2. Then go coffee shop or mac to buy or ask for plain water. The most only $0.50. So one mean only about $2.50. Night i buy noodle from F** X**** also $1 per packet last year. So lunch and dinner together is only $3.50. Morning i go mac buy the muffin i think is $2. So one whole day i only spent $5.50. And i last for one whole month before i get my pay.. LOL.... That the price to buy new Handphone when money level is low... LOL.....

Go ntuc. Buy hashbrow and bread. Add together $7 +, can last two weeks for ur breakfast.

lol all the suggestions are seriously unhealthy.
my suggestion (if u can tahan quite bland food), eat filling food, stuff like muffins, instant noodles, white bread with kaya/jam etc will make u hungry in no time n its unhealthy.
Spent some of yr money to stock up eggs, wholemeal bread/ oatmeals (rolled grains not the instant types) n fruits like bananas n snacks like wheat bars (weetbix)
Every morn eat eggs, wholemeal bread/oatmeal in water, Hungry between lect take weetbix bars or bananas.

You can get those economic beehon from your neighbourhood coffee shop to school for a dollar. That will leave you with $6 for lunch and dinner. Assuming the meal cost $2 each then that will give you $2 leftover for drinks or into your piggy bank.
