This small 'extra food supply' is very handy if you live on your own, as there is no one else there to run to the store for you at a moments notice.

It is also a food supply for when you get sick or can’t go out due to weather. It’s there to ‘back you up’ and support you. It is very handy for when you suddenly run out of something and don’t have time to run to the store.

            tomato sauce,

            can of tuna,

            bottles of Water,

            a jar of instant coffee,

homeless.

It’s never as bad as it sounds. The landlord doesn’t hate
you [not usually anyway]. As long as you pay regularly,
everything should be fine.

Common Problems:

Banking errors in your checking account is common

That’s the main reason I use money orders, they pay for 
themselves in the long run.

This happens easily and is why I keep a calendar by the
fridge and cross days off as they go by. Many use
automatic checking accounts that let landlords
automatically deduct rent from their accounts. If you have
a fat account that’s fine. If you live on a tight budget, I
suggest not using the automatic rent pay. Go with money
orders or...
