Aw, that stings me in the sweet 'n' sour nostalgia place. I once went without school lunch for (does the math) um... three straight weeks in high school. I didn't get an allowance, but my parents did give me $2 a day for lunch, so I saved that until I had $30 to buy an Elton John boxed CD set.

Dayum, I was hungry, but those tunes were sweet! (That's a cute email.)
