So much for the job thing =P I doubt in the economic state America has shat itself to that I'd even be able to get a job. Also, no one I know is really in a state to give out money to people to do trivial things like mow a lawn or babysit. They've stopped being lazy bastards. Which is bad for me.

For the record, I think it's just as easy to get jobs at 14-18 as it was before. It's mainly the upper end jobs for large companies that are really suffering. There are some things people buy regardless of the economy, and the places that sell those things usually hire teenagers. :P.

dude, I understand your situation.
I want to buy a hooded sweatshirt, it costs 32,95€. Every time I buy something (hot dog, hamburger and so on) I put the quarters, pennies and all the change in a bottle and I I have 25€ so far. I gave my team fortress 2 to my best friend and he gave me 12.95€.
It´s not so hard, just save

I knew a girl who chugged a pint of tabasco sauce to prove that she was manlier then the guys. she threw up a lot. and then some guy bit off my fishes heads and ate them to try and outdo her. That made me angry.
Well, if you think that is extreme, take a look at these Dudesons videos about their tabasco experiences:

You could eat at home and save even more.

He might not have been at home for a while, maybe he got hungry while he was out. Besides, eating out kicks ass. I love me a bag of chips. Salt and vinegar please.

Everyone I know except me hates salt and vinegar. They also hate prawn cocktail, which I personally love.

...What. No... no, that's impossible. LIAR!

@Everyone else: Thanks for the advice, I've got a plan, though; tomorrow I'm getting about 30-40$ for a field trip (we're going to a theme park all day), so if I cut back on spending to just the bare essentials (1-2 cheap meals), I should be able to scavenge at least 10$ from that.

But then you won't enjoy the theme park! =[

The difference between me liking "prawn cocktail" is in the context.
Prawn cocktail-flavour crisps? SUPER.
An actual prawn COCKTAIL? HELL NO.

I f'ing love salt and vinegar. Both on crisps AND chips. And other stuff.

Crisps? Are those just baked chips? Yes, Salt 'n Vinegar is one of the classic flavors of chips, before all 'dem fancy chemicals came in. Right up there with Sour Cream & Onion. Which, personally, is only good depending on the brand (eg, Lays is not that good, Pringles is OK, homemade thin sliced potatoes with a sauce of sour cream and onion = orgasmic if you can make it)

Check Walmart, Smith's, or Costco.

Walkers is the UK's leading brand of crisps. Tayto is Ireland's.

I love me some Tayto.

Does anyone notice a startling similarity?

The only difference is in the Lays logo, there are a few empty spaces on the edges of the circle that are made to look like light reflection, I suppose.

*stares at the Walkers bags* Mmm... smoky bacon. (Also weird how after a reference to Prawn Cocktail, a bag with that flavor comes up in the images.)
