Last week of benefits, options? - any advice?

I exhausted my benefits and have 9 interviews lined up. There are 9 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have savings for about a month. What did you do after benefits ran out?

Food pantries and community kitchens helped us stretch the budget. No shame in using them.

Ask your state agency about any extended programmes. Mine did not advertise them, but they existed.
