From K-rations to C-rations

I think I might release a cereal called the Credit Crunch. The list of ingredients would read: dust. Hey, its free!

Some advice from comrades in arms battling a wavering UK economy and scrimping on every cent:

Credit Crunch Latte - "Pour some milk in a glass jar, heat in microwave. Take it out, put the lid on and shake till your arm goes numb. Add to a small amount of instant coffee paste (cheap German brand from Lidl/Aldi) and stir. Credit Crunch Latte."

Credit Crunch Munch - "Hamish, I'm so hungry! I end up eating all my wages!"
"Carrots. A chocolate bar costs 59p (AUD 1.50), a packet of crisps costs 45p (AUD 1.10). An apple costs about 20p (AUD 0.45). The solution is carrots. One carrot costs 10p. Eat as many as you like. By as many as you like I really mean one."

Poor man's pasta - "Place some cheap pasta in boiling water and boil until cooked. For protein, add can of drained chickpeas (39p) or grate small amount of cheap cheese and stir through. Pinch of dried herbs for cheap flavour."

C-ration fuel - "Open a box of cereal. Eat some. Walk."

Vegetable soup - Really, do I need to say any more?

Credit Crisis Saturday - "Instead of going to parties, work at them. You still get to dress up (as a penguin), you still get to drink (out of people's dirty glasses at the end of the night), you get fed (no really, they usually feed you!), and you get paid. What a night!"

Guess what I'm doing tomorrow...
