How far can a PhP200 go?[day 3] game over

It's sad to say that my 200 pesos only lasts for 3 days. Today, I ate 2 budgeted meals, brunch and dinner, for 15 pesos each. At the start of day 4, my rumbling stomach defeated my will. I ate a 31-peso worth of bread from the bakery. That makes my money down to 17 pesos from yesterday's balance of 78 pesos.

Seventeen pesos, I know, would still reach until day 4 but only for one meal with 1 cup of rice. I won't be able to do that because I have to go to my university tomorrow and would have to take an exam.

I hope the point of this challenge is now clear to you. A 200 pesos, which I value as gold in my childhood, is now only a 3-day budgeted meal. True that not everyone is struggling, but it's also true that most of us experiences the worsts cases. I can't do what these people can do. They it the deadliest food in the world--nothing.
