I put old sour cream in my coffee because I couldn't afford any milk
Oh, did it taste ok?
Not at all, I would prefer a family member to help me out so that I could afford groceries.
I'm sorry that you are having a hard time fulfilling your basic needs. It's okay if you ask your family for help. They will feel really bad if they find out that you are eating expired food.
You mean I should ask family who I have never asked for help before so they won't be upset I am eating expired food.
Yes, I am sure your family would not want you to starve or get sick. Asking for help for basic food needs like milk is okay.
