Our school used to get free covers from a bread local company named Butter Crust.

Not broke, but still cheap. My 20 year old KitchenAid fridge died a week ago, but AI helped me figure out that it was probably the relay, the part that turns the compressor on and off, and that it's a snap-in part. So I drove an hour and a half to an applicance parts place in South San Jose, got the replacement part for $35, drove back, put it in, and it works again!
A great success. Freezer didn't even thaw out completely.
Being broke used to be the best motivation for learning skills, since it was 10% of the price to do repairs yourself.

I had a summer job at a coffee vending machine manufacturer in the refurbishment department. When we opened the door to these returned vending machines we’d run. Swarms of angry roaches would emerge, hungry for more sugar, powdered milk, etc.
The interior of these machines are truly disgusting.

The worst possible way to consume coffee.
Found at Howard Johnson's and the first coffee dispenser machines.
worse than coffee from vending machines?

When I moved back to the bay area after college broke with a pregnant gf looking to get into biotech I sold cars at Volkswagen of Hayward on Mission. We had one of those water dispensers with the big jug of water turned upside down, in front near a window.
I changed the water once and when I pulled the empty off I noticed the entire inside was covered in green algae. Better than mold I suppose. Def better than that roach story, good gawd!
BTW, GF had a miscarriage so I dodged a bullet. She had a kido already and at least 7 more after I got rid of here all with diff baby daddies.
