Dave Ramsey would tell you to have a garage sale. deliver pizzas, get a paper route, etc.
You might also consider downsizing your car. Are you making payments on a car? If so, sell it and get something cheaper.
Can your fiance get any overtime or an advance? Does e typically get a tax refund? If so, he could adjust his withholding to get a little extra in each paycheck.
Can you move to a cheaper place? I would suggest that if only your fiance is working, you need to adjust your budget to live off of his income.
If I were in your shoes, I would try to cut back as much as possible. Do you have cable? Obviously you have an internet connection. Maybe you should get rid of them. Do you have a cell phone?
In short, get within your means.
None of this was meant to be mean, so I hope you took it in the manner it was intended. I think the garage sale is a good start. Rethinking your cars is usually a second good option to come up with cash.
All of this though is just a symptom and getting your budget cut to the bare bones quickly is your best defense against this problem continuing.
Not to harp on Dave Ramsey too much, but he would tell you you should not see the inside of a restaurant for a long time. You should be eating rice and beans or beans and ricce for each meal. If you're broke, you need to be living like a broke person.
Hope that helps.

List ALL your spending and ask your self "If I can only pay 1 thing, what would I pay first?" (The answer is food.) Then ask "If I can only pay 1 more thing, what would I pay?" (Utilities) Repeat question 2 until you are out of expenses. When you run out of money, anyone that has not been paid has to wait. Until you have a job, apply absolutely EVERYWHERE. There is no such thing as a fast food place that is not hiring. UPS and Fedex always need night shift sorters. Sell so much the dog hides.

Is there anything that you have that you could sell, even a car if you're desperate, then take the bus. Have a garage sale, but you likely won't make enough, but every bit would help. Maybe you could do house cleaning, if you're in an apartment maybe you could leave flyers, and around the neighborhood. Maybe your fiance could ask for an advance on his pay check. Hope this helped! Good luck! (I would also pray alot)

Hey,
Take out a low interest personal loan, help you out with some money, and also you can put a pay off a credit card balance and re-finance with your personal loan at a low interest rate. However it will take 5 to 7 days to get the money. Here is a link http://www.prosper.com/join/jakestone4, I will know when you signup and I may personally help by lending to you.

Sell something. You should get unemployment if you are unemployed. Find a food bank if you don't have any food.
