I'm starting up my third year of college now. This year, I've decided to live off campus (in an expensive area), and between rising tuition, less scholarship money, and less help from the folks, I've decided that I am very poor this year.

My roomate and I are trying to do things as cheaply as we can, and get whatever we can for free whenever possible. Examples of how cheap we are:
-we steal wireless internet from an open connection (which has a really weak signal, and results in constant disconnects [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img])
-instead of buying condiments, we take copious amounts from local fast food joints. we never pay for salt, pepper, ketchup, margerine, mustard, mayo, peanut butter, jam etc.
-my roomate does not attend school, so he does not get a bus pass with tuition. we are going to try and find someone from my school who looks somewhat like him to sell us his if he has a car, or does not use the bus much. the passes sold for regular transit passengers are far too expensive
-I buy my textbooks, take them to the copy shop and photocopy them, then return them

Who's in my boat, and what other great ideas have you come up with (I have moral issues against stealing anything besides internet and computer software)? Who has been through this in the past, any great stories?
