One of my fondest memories is from when I was in university and one Xmas break my stipend was late for a few weeks and I completely ran out of money. All my dorm-mates were away for the break so I had no one to borrow money from. I scrounged around my dorm and found a fistful of loose change — it came to around $2.30 iirc. Bought a bag of rice and frozen peas and managed to last about a week. “Free” takeout soy sauce packets were a big plus. Good times.
