Yep.... I amend it a bit.... don't buy anything at all except food and keep the food very simple... KD and dogs, and the like. Accept the 3rd job as well.

Go to Walmart, and buy cases and cases of Kraft Dinner and ketchup. Next load up on the cheapest Juice you can find there...I think Dole has a 99 cent 1 litre.
That should cut your food costs per month from $600+ to $50. 6 months of that and you are good to go...

Yup apparently it's time to pay the piper.
Luxuries = bye bye
Necessities = do them on the cheap
To the OP.
Are you serious?....you are worried about a pathetic sum of $5400.
If you are worried about that kind of money then RUN away from pooning for the rest
of your life as $5400 is chicken feed when it comes to the pastime of pooning.
As for advice....cut up your credit cards and eat a table spoon of cat food each day.
By the time you have paid off the $5400 you will be accustomed to the taste of cat food
and will easily be able to recoup the $5400 by eating cat food...so get on the "Whiskas"
plan and prepare to save.

Good advice coming from everyone here. Here's an article that puts it all in one place:

Can I assume you're on a serious time-line (ie. knees broken, as above), in which case, most of this advice won't help in the immediate term (figure you've already asked the parents if they have the dough)...
But, if you want a get-out-of-debt plan, and are willing to put in the time and the sacrifice, I think that these ideas will work. I've also heard that the Debt Snowball Method is very effective.
