do people just lay books out on the street? or do you find them in their trash?
i live in a small town, and sometimes people will put stuff out at the curb with a “free” sign on it. it’s usually not as cool as a box of books, though.
we have a kroger where i live, and there are “manager’s specials” on soon-to-be-expired items. they are the BEST deals. i love deals.

Wow, you studio is like my cellar. ohh, from the look of it, it is a cellar, has it rained yet? Watch for flooding.

-wish i could get books for free. im never anywhere where things are cheap or free. stupid city. I’m too poor to pay so i try to make not having it cooler than having things…

These are great tips for other poor people.

Yay! Praise for low ceilings! I hate having to get the stepladder out whenever I need to change a bulb…I feel like an Oompa Loompa at times.
I bet I’m the only short arse who likes to eat and drink miniature things to make feel like a grown up though…*sigh*

I’ve been using the movie ticket trick to save money for a long time… the ticket takers never check, and even when they do notice they’re far to bored/apathetic to care. Besides, having to pay 10 dollars to see a movie is down right robbery.

wtf… $2 for a SLICE of pizza? I make frozen ones @ $3 for an entire pie. If you know how to cook it (broil at the end), it’s freaking awesome. And $.99 for a pack of nuts?? Lol… we just got pissed because the stuff in our vending machine went up $.10 and is now $.60.
New York sucks for poor ppl!

Dude, a slice of new York pizza IS the size of a frozen pie.

your studio looks homie <i don’t think i spelt that right.

Alex, that’s *homey*.
I do the movie thing, too. I have a great coffee table (light wood, with glass top) that I got from my boss’s neighbor’s curb a few years ago. My brothers once got a working TV (granted, it was one of those huge cabinet things) and huge speakers from a neighbor’s trash.

Thanks, Julia, for posting so many things these days. It makes me happy.

There’s a lot of cuteness in this comic!

Julia rocks!

I used to live in a similar basement apartment with a low ceiling. But the ceiling was metal, so we stuck things to it with magnets.
The other side of their basement was a storage area, and they had a ping-pong table. So many mornings I woke up to ping-pong…
Even better than child’s movie ticket would be sticking around in the cinema complex and seeing THREE movies for the price of a child’s ONE.

im shorter then julia!
October 15th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Damn! 5′2″ and you can reach the ceiling! That is low!!!

Little pleasure of poverty: Finding five bucks you thought you spent.
Now, I plan to spend more hours reading your comics!

I love it! My new place, everything is up high, and I need a step stool for it. Totally sucks. My shower is the complete right size for me though. My roommates always get pissed at me for bringing home my found deals. More and more people dismiss the whole “one man’s trash…”
October 16th, 2008 at 7:06 am
5′2″? bah! my girlfriend’s 5′1″!
October 16th, 2008 at 8:06 am
My gf’s 5′0″. I… win?
And yes, it does look like I’m walking w/a 12 yr old if we’re viewed from behind.

I’m 5′ 2″ and don’t particularly mind. Least I’m taller than my 4′ 11″ mother.
Cheers Julia, thanks for the baller comics.
