It appears that your food budget may be the only place to cut right now. Cut down or out soda. Eat some more meatless meals each week. Eggs are inexpensive meal. Cut coupons, watch the grocery ads. Cut out convenience foods if possible. Even if you cut the budget by $25/mo you are getting ahead with your emergency fund.

Sell things on ebay. Save any gift money. Save your change. Save any tax refund. Cash in soda cans. Have a garage sale. Find paid surveys online. Babysitting for neighbors...put out flyers in your apartment or the grocery store. Other services that other grad students might pay a fee for...editing, laundry, cleaning apartments. Best of luck.
