Spend $30 going out to eat at a nice restaurant, then proceed to find a way to mooch off of neighbors, events, church pot-lucks, giveaways, free samples, parties, neighborhood barbecues, begging in the streets like a hobo, etc. until your next paycheck arrives.

You can afford 120 packages of Ramen Noodles. That'll feed you for a week. Maybe a little longer.
The place that has advice for the extremely poor is reddit, in their frugal community. They'll teach you how to dumpster dive.
/biz/ is typically frequented by wealthy NEETs. Most of us have long forgotten what it's like to be poor. So it's not the best place to ask.

Like many vices, begging quickly becomes an addiction. When you hold your hand out like a mindless animal and are frequently rewarded for it, you have little reason to stop doing it. Think about what happens to a child if mommy gives him anything he wants everytime he screams or cries. Ever see a grown man throw a little tantrum? That's where that comes from. Humans don't change mode until they are forced to do so.

Rice and beans. Go to a local store where you can get small amounts of some spices for under a dollar. Feed yourself for a week for 5 bucks. Takes practice but i make better rice and beans than any spanish restaurant now. Additionally kale/spinach/fruit/oats/flax/chia smoothies for breakfast. Most expensive is the fruit. This can hold me over until dinner if needed.

Of course they are, brainlet. Why would I sell a long of rice in India if it's cheaper there than the US? I would just export until the price of rice increases in India. The only difference allowed by efficient markets is cost of transportation.

Food is a commodity. Only restaurant prices differ. Then that's labor, which is cheaper in India.

You can survive for weeks without food.

t. Starved for 13 days without eating any food at all and only drinking water and sugar water

You will go mad, though. You will feel like you're dying, everything becomes slow motion. You start thinking about whether it would be so bad to eat a human, lol. Lizard brain, I guess...
You may feel heart palpitations and have struggle taking a shit, but you will live, most likely.

But by the 6th day, you will most likely steal. You will no longer feel any anxiety or second guess yourself, everything will become small, the weight of your actions will bounce off of your conscience and you will not feel a thing, free as a bird, floating on Earth.

Always makes me laugh when I see people on here, inexperienced and sheltered manchildren talking about 'depression', or 'anxiety', they are 6 days or less away from total and absolute lack of regard for anything and anyone but biological function. Go 3 days without food and you become a hunter again.

You should see the positive in your situation, because it brings with it a lifelong lesson that will never leave you. Read what people like Nietzsche said about suffering.. in that, it separates. Profound suffering separates, and elevates. You will feel like you can fly once you're done. Nothing will stop you after, in anything.

In most of the USA, you can make a pot of chili for like $10 and live on that for about a week, especially if you use dry beans to stretch it. A sack of potatoes, oatmeal (buy the big cartons) and peanut butter sandwiches can supplement the rest. Maybe buy a little fruit if you have it left.

You can easily turn one bag of flour into at least four fat baguettes. Cut them in half and freeze them. Bread freezes and refreezes perfectly. OR use a cup or two of flour and make a thicc stack of tortillas. Fry a minimal amount of vegetable and/or meat, toss some flour in and after a minute or two fill with liquid and let it thicken. You have bread and a filling stew.
