Anons who will be spending the holidays alone, what will you be eating?

Probably going to either make some rice/bean patties (in place of burgers) or just a lot of pancakes and throw some leftover shredded coconut in them for fun.
Poverty meals suck.

I'm a grown fucking 6'3" dude who has never asked his family for money once, and I know for a fact I would break down in fucking tears if someone gave me something. I can't do that in front of my father and younger sisters.

I'm definitely being a colossal fucking nancy right now, I just don't want to look like one in front of my family.

Jealous. Desu I am now thinking about some shitty stove top stuffing and those instant potatoes. I'm too old to steal, otherwise I would grab some bleu cheese, but I might just buy a packet of insta gravy.

Jesus christ cut the macho shit and just get some help. They're your family, it's okay so long as you don't make a habit of it and genuinely strive for a life where you don't the help. It's only bad if you unabashedly NEET it up for fun.

Just trying to make it a little less pitiful before it gets really really bad. My family is also super poor as well, that's why I moved out when I was 15.
They can't help me, the only option is a place to stay and I can't even fit my stuff there. It will just look like I had a complete mental breakdown like a tard.
What are you eating for the holidays, anon?

>> No.11641456

>>11641189
Sorry to hear that anon. Somebody else mentioned it, but you can get boxed stuffing and instant mashed potatoes that doesn't taste too bad for next to nothing. If you're open to the idea, you can go to church and have Christmas dinner there. Maybe it would do you better than hanging out online with the tendie fiends.

>> No.11641460

but that’s what they’re there for anon. your family is still gonna love you if you break down in tears, in fact your relationships with them will be stronger because of it.

maybe they can’t help you. maybe you will cry like a faggot. you should still go be with them.

Some rice, maybe going to little caesars the day before. I don't really enjoy christmas much either, this year was really hard, both parents had health scares. They wanted to treat themselves to a vacation, so I'm here all alone. Not really spiteful just, I don't have anything to celebrate, or be cheerful for. Bet your ass I'll be grabbing all that delicious, cheap ass candy from walgreens on the 26th though, and gorging my fat fucking face.

Mostly the same things I would normally eat. I might order a pizza on Christmas day, lots of the pizza places are owned and operated by Pakistanis/Indians so I bet some of them will be open.

Crash on their couch and put your stuff in a $25 a month storage facility. No matter how poor you are you always help your family. When shit hits the fan you do what you can to survive, and work towards having a better tomorrow. You're still a family, you're still a unit, you're still there for eachother no matter what because you love eachother.

shit anon i'm getting drunk and rambling, I just want you to know that i've been there and I know you're going to make it you just gotta use whats available to use and right now your family is available to you, cherish them

I'm going to be having filet and shrimp this xmas. Apparently it's my aunt's tradition, I just moved to her part of the country and I'm getting to see that part of the family more, it's nice.

>> No.11641699

>>11641189

Probably just some leftovers. Maybe nothing. Or maybe some takeout Chinese.

My girlfriend and I were supposed to visit my family for Christmas, but her dad died a few weeks ago and she's worried she's going to get overwhelmed with being in a family environment so she's bailing.

It's going to break my mom's heart to see me get ghosted again, so I think I'm just going to stay home so I don't have to see the look on her face when I show up alone and she has to try and make me feel better. And I know she'll be especially disappointed because she planned a bunch of neat stuff for my girlfriend.

fuck my life

I have too much stuff, can't afford a truck, and can't afford a storage facility. Thanks for the advice, though. This shit is about to either crash and burn, or I'll work it out. Right now it is seriously looking like the former, but I'll try for you senpai.
>>11641460
I just can't do that right now. My dad will be gone by the time I'm evicted and I could possibly deal with that then. I'm doing my best to work things out in the mean time.
>>11641456
That was me that mentioned I was thinking about cheap gravy.
>>11641551
Yo there is a bakery semi close to me that I could get to. I've dumpster dived before, but only for doughnuts. I wasn't even broke, just a trashbag full of doughnuts was ill.

Where do you live where that's a thing? Most places near me are chains, or locally owned that will still be closed. I can't afford it anyways, just curious.

Pay the rent in full if you can. Depending on your utility company, a lot of them won't turn off your shit for months so long as you pay *something* and contact them. Some even have special payment plans that don't overdo it on interest. Then again, I don't know if you've ever been delinquent on either.

almost positively going to do utilities actually
landlord won't like it but he has a decent sized safety deposit and i can probably work something out
however if i stiff utilities my credit will get worse and i don't have the money for a large downpayment so i can resume services if/when housing resumes
HOWEVER if i get that 1% chance job i could swing rent and maybe some utilities, albeit a week late

Jesus Christ. There's nothing worse than an insufferable faggot with pride coming out of his ass, but with nothing to be proud about.

I'm with my family this Christmas but I've spent a lot of past ones by myself for job or "other" reasons.
Even when it was just myself I'd cook up something nice, though. Why wouldn't I?
You can get duck legs or duck breasts or whatever in stores if you can't finish off a whole bird. Or you can do a small ham and use it in sangewedges for days after.
Being alone on Christmas doesn't mean you have to eat something intentionally miserable, man.
Hell, get a chicken and two cheap bottles of wine. Make cock au vin with the bird and one of the bottles and drink the other one while you eat it.
If you just want to wallow in self pity you should go to r9k instead.

>>11641189
This seems legit, though. I hope things get better for you.
Maybe there's one of those food banks you can go to and at least get some carrots and onions. Stew isn't bad food, you know.

Crybaby, you are young and still have people that care about you. Cherish them especially during times like the holidays. When you are older they might not be there for you anymore and you will regret it.
