>>540540578This discussion isn't possible until you talk about getting violent with people who try to make you pay taxes
Every time one of these threads appear i see americans complaining that groceries are too expensive to cook at home. Firstly, this makes absolutely no sense. Restaurants are also buying ingredients in the same market. Anyway, i was curious to see if they are telling the truth so i went on ALDI US.>pic rel>10 days worth of food for 1 person, 3 meals a day, protein in every meal.>$50 >Less than the cost of 3 burritos
Whenever the goyim act up its nice to have some freak like Dan on standby to remind them they dont need anything and they deserve nothing.

>>540540578>"Eyepatch McCain"
Yes, people must live within their means, but at the same time I really can't empathise with arguing for people having less. There's a significant issue worthy of discussion at the heart of this, and just because niggercattle can't balance a budget doesn't mean that there aren't real financial issues worthy of addressing at the heart of it all.The US is in need of significant economic reform, and the longer the can is kicked down the road, the harder it's going to be to solve the issue.
Burritos are a luxury food, you have to earn the right to buy burritos.
>>540540869>>540540994It's always good to remind people (((who))) the real problem is and why the economy is run by predatory kikes
>>540540971It's mostly entitled spoiled brats who are complaining about the affordability "crisis". I bet you most of them have never even seen the inside of a grocery store. They just uberjeet every meal of the day then wonder why they can't afford to buy a fucking house...Send the fuckers to war in Iran, maybe that'll make them appreciate western comfort more
>>540541087Cool it with the antisemitism. We're all Americans here.
>>540540578I do all of these things and I'm still broke
>>540540578>>No streaming subscriptions. It's never been easier to pirate films/tv/music than it is todayThe problem with your very first point already is that normalfags think it's illegal and immoral to steal things. Your argument kind of falls apart with how out of touch you are with the mainstream masses.

>>540540578>just live with 4 other random peopleHow are you supposed to have a family? I'd rather be homeless than share some cramped rental with 4 other random people.

>>540541112I imagine it really is lots of folks not buying their own groceries. You get a knack for what the prices of things end up in their range over time and you begin to be able to see when it is a good time to say buy a bunch of one protein at once to store.

>>540540578Literally all of our problems link back to immigration and overpopulation. We need to stop migration completely until we figure this out
>>540540971the argument that eating takeout is cheaper than cooking at home is never true.as a starting average, food costs of a dish in a restaurant or take-away are 1/3 of the menu price. this is the industry standard and then you might change the price and margin depending on your market or the ingredients.
>>540540578
>>540540971That is not 30 meals worth of food, you dumb fuck. Eating a banana for breakfast isn't a fucking meal. Stop fucking lying. Also, restaurants buy food in bulk that is cheaper than at the store. I hate you five eyes faggots so much.

>>540541472>poor mexican food is millionaire cuisine nowKill yourself tranny
social media driven consumerism is to blame.everyone thinks they need spotify, netflix, eating out/fast food, a new iphone, an expensive gym membership, new sneakers every other month, designer clothing, a new car on finance, a gaming PC/games console, $70 games every other month etc etc.These are luxuries, not neccesities.Your parents weren't spending money on shit like this, mostly because they didn't exist.You shouldn't be indulging in these things unless you have a significant expendable salary surplus after basic needs and savings are delt with.
>>540540578I paid my house off last week. I live in one of the most expensive cities on the planet and I can see the edge of the CBD from my living room.I have lived my entire life like OP and now I have about 6,000 a month that I have no idea what to do with kek. I'll never have to pay rent again.>>540540971Learning to cook gets you pussy, saves you money and keeps you alive longer by not dripping in GoyButter to make slapped together mass produced shit taste good.

>>540541811I was able to afford all that in the past because things weren't triple what they cost 10 years ago. This is all just a ploy to downplay the inflation caused by covid stimmies.
>>540540578Crenshaw is out of touch or disingenuous. It's more than subscription services and burritos. Bills, groceries of all kinds, tools, electronics, car repairs, rent, utilities, everything. All because of all the money printed during COVID.
>>540540578The contemptful way our "elected officials" speak to us really should be addressed. I'm starting to think we should stop voting for these people.
>>540541913Learning to cook is also just like an incredibly good social activity. Like when you do have parties/gatherings people are gunna want to eat and so people can make it a social event in the kitchen. When everyone can make great food it is even better.
>>540542002>go to a gym, that's it, no subscriptions to anything else>The food I bulk purchase went from 100 dollars a month to 300 dollarsand the trump trannies are trying to tell me that the subscription to netflix I don't have is the reason why everything is so expensive.
>>540540578I live off grid on 4 acres wooded land in Kentucky. Power comes from older solar panels and batteries my family gave me when they bought new ones. It provides enough juice to power my ac, my small low wattage dorm room-size fridge, my small hot water heater and charge my phone, laptop. All my food except my milk and a pack of cheese are cheap canned foods and long shelf life pastries, crackers, chips, fruit jello cups and cheap energy drinks. I do my laundry with a foot peddle-powered agitation washer and hang it to dry. My only monthly bills are trash pickup, phone/ data, truck liability insurane - $105 all together. My groceries per month are $300, mostly from dollar tree, sams club, some free shit from our local food bank. I'm on disability and get roughly $1k per month disability, $298 food stamps. If you're on government assistance and disability like me, you can make your living as cheap as possible and have a decent chunk left in savings per month to squirrel away. It just takes a bit of unconventional thinking and doing without hot cooked meals, just eating canned foods and whatever you can store on a shelf in boxes. Been living this way since 2009 and I'm doing perfectly fine. Its not that difficult.

The only way out of this nonsense is a deflationary great depression.Nobody in .gov or the fed wants to pull the bandaid because it means major job loss as the dollars value skyrockets
If you aren’t making $80k a year then you realistically don’t have much of an option to save towards anything. It becomes even more difficult when you factor in student loan debt. It’s ridiculous to tell people to live like paupers, it’s also hypocritical because if people did live as you suggest then folks would start bitching about the economy
>>540540578This guy made like $2 million so far from his time in office. And all he does is shill for Israel and their wars and violate the Constitution to protect Zionists
>>540541710Yes it is.>Breakfast or lunch8 portions of oats6 portions of scrambled eggs2 Portions of tuna salad>Dinner/Lunch10 portions Chicken ragu 4 portions of Bolognese 30 meals. Bananas are spare. You can put them in the oats or snack on them.You can't see it in the image but that price of $47 also includes a big jar of mayo and staples like salt, pepper, and cooking oil. So recuring costs would actually be lower. Probably about $40.Learning to cook your own food is one of the biggest cost saving measures you can make in your life. It's also healthier and more satisfying.
>>540542252Wow that is awesome. When their average rolling target is 2%??? Imagine what happens to the currency when it goes from 5->8->5->2 then back up to +3% yoy. It is almost like there is a compounding effect happening that is causing the Fed to lose control of their 2% target.
>>540542186The funny thing about that is that boomers all had cable TV subscriptions that cost hundreds of dollars monthly. My parents were paying like $200/month for DirectTV back in 2005. That’s like paying for 20 different subscriptions today

Who on their right mind is fucking paying for pizza. It's literally a flat piece of bread with some sauce smeared on it and then what ever you find in the cupboard
>>540542664That's roughly equal then; $1.15 USD to Euro. You did a good job of prepping dinner stuff for a week though. So props on that. One minor thing that's a bit of local's knowledge: Aldis isn't the greatest for meat prices. Pic related example, I can get 10 lbs of pork steak, which is basically just ungrounded pork, for $20 vs 1 lb for $3.65. Little under half.
>>540540578Take the fasolada pill.>Olive oil>Bullion cube>Canneli beans>Carrots>Celery >Salt,pepper,red pepper flakesSubstitute canneli beans with lentils and you got fakes.

>>540540578>eat ramenComments like that are just a dead giveaway the person was never actually poor and doesn't know what he's talking about. Unless they're like 10 packs for $1 in the YS but I hear this ramen comment from finns too. Even back in the day when they were 30-40 cents a pack it wouldn't have made any sense. You need at least 3 packs to stop hunger and even then it's absolute garbage nutrition that doesn't even fill you for long. Over 1€ for a meal that does almost nothing for you. With today's prices over 2€. It's so idiotic that if you keep that up for long you wither away and fucking die.

>>540543229thats great value for meat. the meat you get in butchers is better quality too, less added water and other nasties, usually.>That's roughly equal thenI just put the exact same ingredients into ASDA (UK version of walmart) and it came to £28 ($38). ALDI is a bit cheaper and would probably be about £25.
>>540543622>>most useful goy hereyeah because cooking your own food and not lining the pockets of fast food chain jewish shareholders is classic goy behaviour
The problem is that it SHOULD be cheaper to eat fast food than it is to cook at home.>bulk buyingThey save tens of percent on each ingredient.>bulk preparingThey save immensely on wastage, transfer-losses, energy costs, time costs, and more.>bulk servingMany customers are multiplying the value of their labor. Making yourself dinner can be done only once per night.Robot kitchens with drones delivering the food should be impossible to beat with grocery stores. Regardless the shareholders at (fastfood brand) need to see continuous growth so employee wages as a fraction of meal cost are actually really low in the sub-$0.50 range.

>>540540578I think that the number of zoomers/millennials that would see their financial circumstances improve by better budgeting is probably less than 5% of the total. This shit might've flown in 2005, declaring that the economy is fine and everyone is just doordashing too much is retarded.
nobody is saying it isn't expensive to live right now.covid recovery, ukrainian war and the strait or hormuz are the primary drivers behind that.all we're saying is that there is measures you can take to continue eating well and living comfortably.prices will normalise again in the future.
A canadian used to post grocery prices here before the truckers stopped delivering a few winters ago.
i recently got a vacuum bag sealer thing idk what thats called in english, it already proved useful. i like to take advantage of bulk purchases and this thing has recovered half its cost in some days alreadypizza dough in bulk is really cheap. take the largest bowl you can get, let the dough rise once, then you form balls and freeze them. takes a bit of training but you can do it all blind after 1 year. unfreeze slowly in a fridge over some hours, not in the openpancakes + your favorite topping is also one of the best foods to save money. ramen is total slop

I left home and moved to a city i didnt know anyone in and I lived off 2 meals a day which consisted of 2 packs of instant ramen + 2 eggs + a cup of frozen peas and carrot, plus I drank black instant coffee, while living in a windowless apartment room with a shared kitchen with a chinese familyI had no internet so I played my steam offline and the only games that would work were binding of isaac and fallout new vegas so I just repeated thoseDid this for 3 months until i landed a job at mcdonalds and fast foward 10 years I make more money than your parents and most people I know, you unironically can still do what boomers talk about, but you need a good iq and inner fire.
