You start checking out movies from the public library because it's free.
You charge people washateria rates to come over and wash clothes.
You go on dates to get a meal.
You go to weddings/catered affairs to get a meal.
You volunteer at events that'll spring for lunch, drinks, snacks, etc. so that you know you'll have at least one meal that day.
You drink water because you can't afford anything else.
When you do get some money, you buy items in bulk in preparation for the times when you know you won't have money.
You become a math whiz because as you pick up things in the market, you calculate what your esimated total will be down to the penny.
You have bought exactly one gallon of gas.
You are driving on fumes. You gas needle is PAST E, your gas light is on, and you are praying that your car doesn't stop before you get home.

I have done the dollar menu thing - searching in my car and house for any kind of change that is laying around. I've actually done the pancake thing too, but I do it moreso with pasta, lol.
