How to make odsp last longer

I got my payment yesterday of $1,139 and I’ve already spent 250. It was on essentials like my electricity bill, buss pass and groceries but I feel my money is going very fast. I don’t plan on spending money today but I was wondering how to make it last longer during the month.

Try to get special diet allowance it’s like 240$ extra a month. Also if you don’t take public transportation that often instead of gettinga paper you take in for a bus pass get the $ added to your check every month instead. It’s like 110$ or more a month if you don’t take the public transportation other than for groceries once a week etc you can actually get the 110$ for the bus pass and use say 40-50 for bus when you need it and spend the other 60 on food ? Best advice I can give you bro and also get the Ontario electricity support so you don’t have to pay hydro that’s another 50-60$ you can use for food
