I've already tried hiding my bread and carving "FUCK OFF" into my cheese... I wouldn't mind the occasional thing used, with my permission, but I'm fairly tight on food money this year, and a block of cheese that would have lasted me a week has two massive chunks taken out of it before I'd even used it.

Am I over-reacting? Is it poor form? It's difficult to budget when you have to take stoned hungry housemates into account.
 
Default solution for all NeoGAF issues: Talk to them, explain the situation. Tell them you're super poor right now and you can't afford shit.

If they don't listen, push them down the stairs and pretend it was an accident.

Finds the guilty party at the same time.
 
If talking to them and explaining the situation hasn't worked, deliver justice.

Justice, in this case, involves flushing their weed down a toilet.
 
Eat their food. Just eat all of it. But first, stash your food in a locked cupboard. Eat their food in front of their faces for added effect.

the correct answer is one tasty and economic treat laced with laxatives.
 
Leave a note saying ""I will rub my balls across one item of my food at any given time. You will not know which. If you wish to taste my sweaty sack across your lips go ahead and eat my food."
 
Suffered from the same thing in my old house (I moved out). I'm underweight and don't eat a lot, and my housemates eat every-god-damned-thing. So I'm basically paying for things I don't use.
In the end, I had to keep all of my things in my room. Which sucked.
But drinking warm coke is better than drinking none LOL ( I don't like using ice cubes) .
 
Yea, when you talk to them, dont ask them if they ate your food. Explain your situation. Tell them that you are really tight on money and you can't afford people eating your food. That way you don't blame anyone, put anyone on the spot, and hopefully they do the right thing.

If that doesnt work, push them down the stairs (eat their food)

This, but you do need to blame them all. You do need to confront them and put them on the spot. Make them feel bad for being dicks.
 
No matter what you do, you already lost. Even if you confront them they will continue to eat your food. The only solution is to hide your food in your room and invest in your own mini fridge.

I went on a rant asking every single one of my roommates who ate my food and they all denied doing so. After throwing a fit, one roommate(one of many) who was munching off my shit apologized. They continued to eat my food.

You are already dead. Eat their food.

I don't want to be "that guy". I mean, I want to be universally liked by my housemates, but also have large quantities of Pilgrim's Choice. Is that too much to ask?!
 
Further to the Laxative plan, be sure to remove all toilet paper from the toilet when setting trap. It's a small touch but s/he will get the message.

This fills me with sadness :(

I would totally go ahead with the laxative plan, but I fear when my SO stays round I'll completely forget and get my ass dumped whilst she dies on the toilet.
