If you are flat broke, you need to have Totino's pizza in the house. If you are merely broke, you could splurge for Totino's pizza rolls. These two items are really cheap ways to stretch a paycheck. Plus, they taste pretty good.
If you buy some of these foods early in pay period, you'll at least have something to eat later in a pay period. Obviously, man cannot live on Totino's pizza rolls. If you eat them all the time, you'll get sick of them. Plus, if you are what you eat, you might turn into a pizza roll. However, it is always good to build up a food stash. You'll need an emergency supply.
Totino's Pizzas only take 11 or 12 minutes to bake in the oven at 450 degrees and they usually hit the spot. I usually eat about 10 pizza rolls for a small meal. These are great for lunch.

Save Money by Carrying Out Your Pizza
If you are looking to save a little money, you can call or just pop into your local Pizza and order a pizza for carry out instead of for delivery!
Our local Domino's sells a large 14-inch pizza as a carry-out special for only $8.40. You can't beat that and you can easily skip all the high calorie extras like cinna-sticks and lava cakes. Instead of paying $20 to $30 for a pizza with extras and a tip for the delivery driver, we can eat for less than $10. It's an awesome deal!

How to Save Even More Money on Fast Food
It seems like we've been on a pretty tight budget for a long time. We've even got the whole McDonald's "Dollar Menu-Aire" thing down to a science. When we're tight on cash, we can get in and out for almost nothing.
1. Bring A Limited Amount of Cash. If you know that you will be ordering a McDouble, a side salad, and any size tea for $1 at McDonalds, don't show up with a $20 bill. You'll be driving past pictures of Big Macs, Super-Sized Fries, and Delicious Coffee drinks. But, if you only bring $3.50, you won't be ordering any of the expensive stuff. You'll be ordering the meal you originally planned to buy.
2. Bring a Cooler and Water. When money is tight, I'll throw a few bottles of water into a small cooler and bring those with me to the fast food drive through. It's an easy way to save a few calories and a couple of bucks at the fast food window. Even if you bring a soda from home, you'll be paying just a fraction of the price of soda at the fast food window.
3. Do Dinner or Dessert - Not Both. There's no reason to take in all the calories of fast food for both dinner and dessert. You've got to pace yourself a bit. We enjoy the new Oreo Ice Cream sandwiches at our local Steak-n-Shake. They are sinfully, delicious, and only $1. For just over $2, we get a little bit of heaven and we don't break the bank. We also impose a little bit of portion control by just getting one apiece.
4. Count the Carbs. If you are a guy, 60 to 65 grams of carbohydrates should suffice for a meal. For breakfast, that equates to roughly two Egg McMuffins at McDonalds and a bottle of water. At McDonalds for lunch, that pretty much provides for one premium burger or two smaller burgers up to a McDouble off of the Dollar Menu. You can forget the fries and you can forget the soda. You did bring the cooler right?
While it can feel a little strange not to order a super-sized value meal and it can be a little embarrassing to hand the crew member a crumpled dollar bill and 6 quarters to pay for your whole fast food order, your body and your budget will thank you for exercising a little restraint and a little self-control when you order fast food.
Four Amazingly Simple Ways to Save Money at the Fast Food Drive Through Window
When McDonald's introduced their dollar menu, it was a cool way to save a little money. Everyone loved their commercials introducing a new class of citizens: The Dollar Menu-aires. Now more fast food restaurants have value menus and more people than ever are ordering off of dollar menus. However, there are a few little tricks that can help you save even more money when you order off of the dollar menu.1. Bring A Limited Amount of Cash. If you know that you will be ordering a McDouble, a side salad, and any size tea for $1 at McDonalds, don't show up with a $20 bill.
