The funny thing about being broke

Okay, I'll be honest... There is no funny thing about being broke. Just trying to look for the silver linings. 
Some of the things I've noticed I do now:
Walk around the grocery store with calculator in hand. Making sure I stay under budget. 
Think back to past purchases. "If I hadn't spent that $10 in high school I would be able to use that money now."
Have a schedule of where all the free food is.  Wednesday is for waffles. Break the fast. Parties on Friday. FHE on Mondays. And every other day I'm at my sisters. 
Welcome visits from my parents. Free food? I'm in. Maybe I can convince them to buy me something too...
It never hurts to ask. Can I have food? Want to drive? Can I use your hot water? Do you have a printer? What's the worse that's going to happen? They say no?
