Have you changed your food habits in response to rising prices, /ck/? If so, how?
>>22010907>Have you changed your food habits in response to rising prices, /ck/?Yes, several years ago.>If so, how?Less eating out, less meat, more ricin beans, more routine meals.
>>22010907I hardly ever eat fast food now. For the garbage that they serve, the prices they're asking are insane. That's about it really though, I'm lucky enough to make enough money to still go to real restaurants once or twice a week, and I get whatever groceries I want without worrying about what they cost.
No.Rising prices seem to mostly affect beef, packaged foods and things that aren't in the weekly circular. Pork chops and chicken breasts are still $2/lb. Ground beef is still $3/lb. Chicken drumsticks or thighs are still $1/lb. Carrots and onions are still 69¢/lb or less. Monkfish went up 33% but it's still under $5/lb ($3.99 now rather than $2.99). Apples are still 50¢/lb. Etc etc etcCouple that with my tendency to coupon and the fact that I don't really like beef very much (and my wife generally won't eat it) and we're not affected much yet at all. I'm sure we'll be fucked sideways eventually but it hasn't happened yet.
I buy alot from the Mennonites and they haven't raised their prices in years, probably out of the Jew loop. For packaged foods if the get too high I just stop buying them.
>>22010907more pork and chicken, less beefI also eat extra firm tofu now but that's mostly because aldi sells it at prices that make it competitive with pork and chicken and unlike meat I can throw it in a marinade and eat it raw when I have no will to cook.
I just learned to make everything I used to buy pre-madeYeah it's a pain to cook and clean but the food costs ten times less and tastes better, it's worth it.
>>22011093>Just liesEverything has gone up and fuel prices/fertilizer loss will make it worse.Shitty walmart water-injected chicken breast in bulk is 2.60 a pound and real fucking chicken is double that. Ground beef is 7 dollars a pound. All of the prices you're posting are half of the cheapest crap in reality.
>>22010910>more ricin beansmega watt?
Nope. In fact I'm buying and eating more because I have money to burn. LOL poorfags.
>>22011093>ground beef is still 3/lbin what universe? are you in Mexico? like the other guy said your post is literally just lies. post proof of 3 dollar ground beef or seek mental help.
Ive started having breakfast at the local bakery every morning. Those guys are working harder than I am. At 6am they have a feast ready. And I get fed so win win
>>22011154that's a big hotdog
>>22011163For you maybe, I'm a pro-crammer, sissyboy
No, I don't spend money on useless things so still eat meat almost every day.
>>22011165so you don't spend money on yourself huh?
>>22010907Not so much at the grocery store but I stopped eating out / ordering delivery. Just can’t bring myself to pay 30 bucks for a pizza
>>22011167More like I don't play games and don't have 12 subscriptions, also don't eat sweets and snacks nor I drink alcohol/sodas. I eat very simple, meat/dairy/eggs/ and sometimes fruits and certain veggies. I do have hobbies but they are not very expensive. I just have one relatively expensive hobby and thats it.
>>22010910I'm eating out more since meat is somehow less expensive at restaurants.>>22010907Yeah, I'm growing more food.
>>22011169Pizza is the easiest meme food to make. Oven are fucking hot enough.>>22011142I picked up 300kg of fertilizer a month ago. Going to pick up a bit more. Looking for Urea right now.>>22011101They grow their own feed...>>22011145That was me a couple years ago, but I got a parking ticket the other day, and was like, that's half a gas tank...
>>22011154They’re definitely somewhere weird to know the monkfish prices. Texas and other parts of beef country in America have seen less issues with beef prices though. Bummer but it makes sense
>>22011154>>22011220New fucking York? Philadelphia? Chicago? Boston? All of those places. Want me to prove it? I bought a pack last week and stashed it in the freezer. I'm thawing it tomorrow for Novena de Mayo because Cinco fell on a weekday and we're doing our cookout the day before Mother's Day instead for some fucking reason. We couldn't have it last Saturday because that was the area carnival/craft thingy. So tomorrow it is.
>>22011142Again, would you want me to prove it, you only semisentient sack of shit?Just because you're garbage at shopping and buy everything at jacked-up-ass Walmart (they're MORE expensive than literally anywhere else! WHY DO PEOPLE SHOP THERE?!) doesn't mean the rest of us share your retardation.
>>22010907not really, but one of my local store in changing almost all products to no name
>>22011241You are a sad, strange little man.
>>22011239>Want me to prove it?go ahead
>>22011367And you get fleeced $7/lb for ground beef lmao>>22011507Sure. I have to take it out of the freezer anyway. I might still have the receipt in my car, too. Gimme a few minutes.
>>22011790$10.41 ÷ 3.48lbs = $2.99/lbThis was an advertised sale price in last week's flyer. I might still have that laying around somewhere, too. It was also the sale price a couple weeks ago. And the sale price a couple weeks before that. It's the perennial sale price.
>>22011817nta but the sale price was $5/lb and then you used a couponyou calaimed "ground beef is still $3/lb", but it's circumstantial at best
Kinda?Mostly health and conscientious reasons though.I contracted fatty liver disease at some point so I switched over from red meats to mostly fish and chicken, and eating a lot more vegetables. I also switched from individual cuts to whole birds, plus smoking. Saved me some money and improved my health, but I started looking at how much stuff I was throwing out. Giblets, carrots/celery/pepper ends, chicken bones, chicken skins. I realized how much I was wasting and started feeling kinda responsible for the death of these birds. Hell, if I was killed to be eaten, would I want to see my pelvic bone dumped straight into the trash? So I got more creative.1) Giblets to the pets2) Smoked skins saved and deepfried for parties as gribenes (oy vey)3) Bones and vegetable ends into broth4) Fat skimmed from the broth reused as schmaltzEverything left after that is so thoroughly cooked to shit that I just throw it straight into the compost. And the bones don't attract pests because there's no marrow left. End results?I've gotten so good at making broths and smoked meats in the past 4 years that I've actually started winning cooking competitions at my company. And when people ask me how I do it, I don't know how to tell them I've been feeding them literal trash.Feels pretty good though.
>>22011829No, I didn't use a coupon. The "coupon" you're seeing is just how they tack on sale prices now to make sure "limit: 1" is followed and it's available to everyone. We bought the smallest pack because, as I said earlier, my wife didn't really fuck with beef like that but they had trays close to 7lbs the day I bought that one. Like I said, I can see if we still have that circular somewhere. Sadly, Albertsons stores delete old circulars so it's gone from their site now so the only way to prove the point is to show you the advertised price. And like I said, this sale price rotates in every couple of weeks. Like, we didn't buy any the last time it went on sale in mid April.
>restaurants never ever>don't eat fast food>don't even look at beef>don't look at frozen foods>had to give up caffeine because coke more than doubled price>make pizza from scratchNear future: cannibalism
>>22011854so the package says one thing, the receipt says the same thing, and i'm supposed to believe that's wrong?even if that were the case (doubt) beef isn't *still* $3/lb, it's $3/lb if you get it on two different sales at the same time
>>22011857>>don't look at frozen foodsFrozen veg is like a quarter the price of fresh. Hell, spinach is a sixth.
>>22010907Just bought a bunch of ground turkey after ground beef went over five bucks a pound. Going to make turkey burgers tonight, hope they taste okay.
I ate an entire dry pound of black beans six hours ago and still haven't farted. Have I conquered beans? I soaked them in really alkaline brine but no epazote or beano
>>22011864You're going to need lard or tallow or something to mix in.
>>22011858So you're telling me that there is a coupon for exactly $6.98 off of something. Cuz yeah. That happens. </sarcasm> No. The ad specifically says $2.99/lb and that's exactly what $10.41 ÷ 3.48/lbs is. Ask yourself what's more likely: a $2.99/lb pricetag that the Point of Sale system marks up weird or a coupon for a bizarrely specific number that just happens to actually line up with exactly $2.99/lb?
>>22011858>two different sales at the same timeThat's not how sales work, ya dingus.A store will not have one sale on beef for $4.99/lb and another for $3.99/lb at the same time. And they wouldn't compound the two together if they did.
>>22011886I did not, they came out okay. Not nearly as dry as most people say, I think they may just be overcooking it. It tastes alright, but it's weirdly soft, like meatloaf.I think I'll stick to mainly using it for taco meat and gravy noodles.
>>22011912Turkey is better for meatball style burger patties, with breadcrumbs, egg, onions and herbs. The breadcrumbs give them some crispy texture
>>22011987That to me would be a meatball sandwich, which isn't bad, but not quite what I want. How does ground pork perform as a burger?
>>22011887>Ask yourself what's more likely:a sale for $5/lb, as shown on the product, and a coupon for $2 off per poundbeing obtuse doesn't change what you said vs what you showed
>>22012031Oh, is that a fact? By the way, are you the same retard who has claimed numerous times in the past that advertised sale prices don't count? Cuz you're arguing just like that retard and I really didn't want to believe there are multiple retards retarded enough to do that.
>>22012077Go away Delco trash.
>>22010907>Have you changed your food habits in response to rising pricesnoI make enough money to where rising prices have had no effect on my spending
>>22012080>Malvern>DelcoO…kay.
>>22011817>ACMEthe cartoon coyote keeps buying stuff from them, but they're all scams anon
>>22012098That was my reaction when I moved here and saw these stores lolNo good sales there this week but they might give some decent personal coupons tomorrow. Either way, we ate pork chops and mushrooms from >>22012077 for dinner tonight. Mushroom gravy smothered pork chops with buttery-ass mashed potatoes, sauteed beets and baby kale salad. Was good. Love me some pork. And still paid only $2.99/lb for ground beef.
>>22011817>5 lb bulk from a supply store with a massive discount >When discussing whether grocery prices have gone upAnon you're fucking retarded
>>22011154What really makes me wonder is when we'll see grey market/black market meat sales. I wonder when the gangs are going to steal meat and sell it out of the back of Ethnic markets or at informal swap meets for half the store price.>>22011093Post proof and general region. THe cheapest I have seen since COVID was in Arkansas at 1.98 a lb for pork and 99 cents for chicken in 2023.>>22010907Yes.• Not as much fast food.• I stockpiled dry beans and rice, far more than usual.• I buy more in bulk to hedge against prices inevitably rising.• I shop at a salvage grocery store.• I eat in more and cook more traditional items.• Soda? Unless it's on sale, forget it. Alcohol? Same.• More ground turkey, chicken, and sausage.>>22011169Pre-made Delivery Pizza is such an expensive pile of bullshit. The Pizzas are worse than they were, you can't get a decent amount of pizza for under 60 bucks, and they don't even have delivery drivers/teenagers delivering the pizza, instead you get some Arab/Indian Redeemer delivering your doordash in their nasty ass Altima. God help you if you don't/forget to tip. Fuck that gay shit. For 1/3rd the total cost you can get four premium frozen pizzas at Walmart, or just go even cheaper and make your own.>>22011817That ain't 3 bucks a pound. That's three bucks with coupon. I want a native price, friendo. NO digital coupon gimmicks.
>>22012109No, but you are. >>22012113>That ain't 3 bucks a poundCorrect. It's a penny less.
>>22010907Same as many other anons: almost no fast food, restaurants less frequently, I never get beef at the grocery store anymore, and seething several times a year now when my staples go up 10%>>22011101So you’re advising to buy Mennon(ite)?>>22011866I think the exact opposite of you was the previous user of my office chair
I'm trying more foraging and gathering. Not really due to finances, but it does seem like a useful thing to learn if conditions worsen. I'm not much of a hunter-gatherer, so it's taking time to figure out which plants are edible, what they look like at different life-stages, which parts are edible at which stages, etc. Also, it turns out that most US states have various species which are considered invasive or pests and can be hunted/harvested with minimal regulations. Not that I'd want to be eating coyotes or something, but crayfish turned out to be abundant and easy.
>>22010907I’ve had to switch from Champagne to Prosecco. It’s tough.
>>22011093>Ground beef is still $3/lbI wish. Been a while since I've seen it below $5/lb.
>>22012373You are missing the forest for the trees.
>>22010907I live off beans and rice with the occasional peanut butter and jelly, plus a multivitamin
>>22012392I'm missing the trees for the berries, the leaves, the roots, the grubs, etc. It's interesting to look at a forest or natural environment in terms of calories above all. You learn a lot.
no, but ive always been a frugal shopperi havnt really noticed my grocery bill being substantially higher other than i cant find really cheap cuts of beef any more funny i can still find deals on higher end cuts
i switched from name brand to store brands and haven't noticed a difference.at this point name brands are double the price now instead of being like a dollar more at best.
>>22010907I have the cheapest eggs more often whereas I would usually go for free range before. Other than that, I mostly accept that food is more expensive and try not to care too much about it. I do miss the old days of being able to eat really healthy for literally nothing. I also noticed that produce is often spoiled and still being sold.
>>22012535Myeah, things like chicken hearts used to be pretty much free a few years ago.
>>22012077>guys it's *STILL* this price!>it's on clearance>and marked down from a previous saleSo it's not STILL $3. It's $3 sometimes, if you're lucky.>are you the sameYou're schizophrenic.
