Imagine paying $155 for over priced processed slop for your fat ass and then blaming "inflation" for why its not enough to last you more than a week.

I feel guilty for grabbing a frozen pizza and a bag of pretzels when I go grocery shopping and then there's this HCFS fueled ogre.
Asking to cook is a war crime. All food should be edible without requiring fire.
I just eat things raw. Even as a kid I was eating raw meats. Never got sick from it once. I prefer beef and fish and the like but as I've said no sickness or parasites. Think about it, your ancient ancestors who didn't have any concept of hygiene or cleanliness were eating raw shit all the time because they didn't have fire.
Eating raw meat (and some vegetables) takes forever. Cooking meats allowed our ancestors to consistently have free time to do whatever and further develop our brains. We were able to invent because of fire cooking our food.
I go to the grocery store and spend 90$ on cheese and meat...
Six bags of chips and some bricks of soda and this manatee is bitching about it costing too much to eat.
Skip the soda, all you need is water. Buy a good water filter and drink tap water
Skip the chips, maybe buy ONE bag for a once a week indulgence.
Skip the lunchables and give your kids real food that is probably cheaper too
Skip the pop tarts and give your kids real food
Oreos are homies 4 lyfe not gonna hate
Ok keep the dum dums, gotta shut the kids up /reward them with candy every once in a while
Skip the instant mash. Boiling potatoes is not rocket science and is also significantly cheaper since potatoes are often extremely cheap. Sometimes i can get an entire 5 pound bag of potatoes for the same price this guy probably paid for instant mash.
The mac and cheese for the kids is "ok" but in my family we really only use them once in a blue moon. Definately not a weekly purchase.
By buying food only when they are on sale, you can easily save at least a third of your expenses. Get used to reading the weekly circular of your local supermarket and knowing the prices and when sales are actually really good or shit. Not only does this save you money, but it helps your vary your own diet so you avoid eating the same shit every week and sometimes try new things too!
Just deny yourself all worldly pleasures and feed your family water and the aroma of a single boiled bean. What store do you manage, boomer?
the house that creaks
Holy shit are you a butthurt little bitch. Imagine equating slop like pop tarts to a "worldly pleasure".
Learn to shop. Actually fuck it, learn to properly eat.
>"NOOOO YOU NEED TO ONLY EAT RICE AND BEANS AND DRINK WATER!!!!"
no i don't this i will chud
You can drink a soda once in awhile when you go out, but there is no reason to drink this stuff daily and it is very bad for your health. Soda is poison.
rotund
>NOOOOOO I *NEED* TO EAT THE GOYSLOP
Stfu
how hard is it to BBQ you useless fuck
you can't do anything, your father was right about you, a fucking waste
you sound like an insufferable cunt
This. Ffs these cunts will buy a child's groceries and complain they are going bankrupt because they want to sustain themselves on name brand soda cans and potato chips.
>water filter
It's not the 1800s anymore. The water is fine.
NTA but Brita water tastes better, even if it's not actually doing much to filter the worst sorts of contaminants.
Maybe I'm spoiled with well water but taste has never been a problem for me.
Yeah, you probably are. I grew up in a place with great water but now live in an American concrete jungle. The water is potable, but doesn't taste as 'crisp' as the water where I grew up, if that makes sense. So I have a Brita.
Oreos are the most overrated crap going.
>Verification not required
>reposting obvious rage bait
you guys are truly retarded
It's hard to look at the world the same way after meeting the parents who give their kids EBT-bought soda pop for breakfast.
1/3 of the price in soda pop
I mean these retards obviously have no idea what they are doing, but you're insane if you're trying to pretend food prices in general havent increased the last few years
>you're insane if you're trying to pretend food prices in general havent increased
Sure, but it wasn't because of inflation.
I don't think you know what inflation means or what point you're trying to make.
Looks like we found the guy who still believes in the inflation myth.
My salary increased too. Inflation in moderation is a sign of a healthy economy.
inflation has helped me eat healthier because junk food got hit harder
I'm convinced that this is the reason governments printed a fuck ton of money and inflated everything. People won't eat properly by themselves, so just fucking force them. Not that a little messaging would hurt.
Nah, Americans fucking hate and resent being told what to do by anyone with institutional power. It's a personality disorder. Gotta use soft coercion.
lmao, with 155$ worth of ingredients I could cook for at least 2 months, perhaps even 3.
They say that when Americans die on the battlefield that the corpses don't really rot and I believe it

>Just deny yourself all worldly pleasures and feed your family water and the aroma of a single boiled bean. What store do you manage, boomer?
We buy almost nothing but whole foods (not Whole Foods as in the store) and what we spend on food has barely gone up, if at all. Spinach and eggplants are still $1.79/lb. Organic lettuce is still $4/lb. Beetroot, turnips, broccoli, radishes, cabbages, tomatoes etc are all still $1/lb. Carrots are still 50¢/lb. Mushrooms, leaf broccoli, cucumbers, chingensai, peppers, parsnips etc are still $2/lb. Cauliflower is still $2.49/head.
Chicken is still $2/lb for wings or boneless thighs or titties, $1/lb or less for drums or bone-in thighs.
Pork is still $2/lb for most cuts.
Only beef, fish and potatoes have gone up significantly and even then, I can get good prices on those from time to time.
>snacks
>carbonated shit
>fucking cereal
>not even money efficient meals or discount stuff
Fucking rich people just realizing they are poor now.
>Fucking rich people just realizing they are poor now.
Accurate and hilarious
13.9% inflation calculated by bullshitters. Inflation calculated by CPI is based on an undisclosed basket of goods that the fed considers that the average person is paying for, whoever that is. This doesn't necessarily correlate with the price of food or gas or anything specific, and it factors in a lot of things like real estate and houses and rent that haven't been as hard hit by inflation in certain areas, or things like medical insurance or new cars which may be priced the same. The CPI formula has changed over time and can change at any time. It includes things like clothes which have gotten cheaper, recreation which may be a bit flat, college education which has only changed 4.7% since 2020. If these expenses don't affect you, then neither does the 13.9% inflation calculation.
Here's an actual objective comparison on some grocery prices
:
$9.37 in 2020, $13.26 in 2023, a 41.5% increase.
This is buying staple foods that are priced pretty cheap at Aldi.
Judging by how much the branded things have gone up at other stores, I would think that it's pretty similar. It's a small sample, but I've seen a lot of items priced at $0.55 go up to $0.85, and I've seen the cheeses go up a good bit on cheese blocks.
I did unironically kind of think this way, and when I go into stores and see chips going for like $4.69, I think this way, but I think jacking up the price of food helps remove a lot of the money from the hands of working class people and gets people to work longer, gets more people in the household to work, and have them compete in the job scarcity of today's job market where wages have stagnated, while forcing some upskilling as well, which is all part of the real function of the federal government.
imagine responding to a bait post on a social media platform then posting the bait post to a japanese cartoon enthusiast message board in hopes for social interaction
The price of raw flour has also doubled. Fatass lazy retards being fatass lazy retards doesnt disprove how horrible the economy is.
Hi.
here.
Yeah. This is also true. I was specifically leaving out packaged goods, but flour has gone up quite a bit. Oddly? Pasta hasn't. It's still $1/lb.
potato-chips & soda have been marked-up heavily by grocers for the last 3 years or so due to supply-chain/transportation issues so NEETs who practically live on the stuff have been hit especially hard
> this would’ve gotten us DOUBLE a year ago
> 13.9% inflation
the American education system everyone
