>>546059507ain't no fucking way, i've been to every store in town and everything is always algorithm rigged to be the same price roughly.it's calculated at the literal product weight ya fucking mong.
eat like a peasant, goy. leave the more expensive things to your betters
>>546059507do that for accomodation
Enjoy your ass cancer, fake numbers btw. Ps. Kill yourself kike
There was this guy who was a sort of philosopher-king so to speak… and he posited a view on this very subject. I’ll share it with you now.

>>546059507I guarantee you the condiment is not 2c. A small jar of mayo is like 7 bucks
>>546063255You aren't supposed to eat the whole jar anon. I know it's difficult for you to resist.
It costs $600,000 + to live near an Aldi.
>>546059507He forgot to includeRepublican Senate seats: -7Republican House seats: -42
>>546063356You can’t dress 350 sandwiches with a small jar of mayo
>>546059507$2 for a homemade meal for one is pretty high.curiously i don't see potatoes on the list. at least in Europe they're cheap as fuck.
>>546063735oh and also, ricecheese and beef are super expensive in the UK though, because of tariffs.
>>546063735That’s a prisoner’s meal
>>546059507theyre actively being baited into it>credit this, credit thatdefault and become wage-slave for lifegreat!
>>546063840here's a tip for you fat amerimutt:wait a little bit before eating, and anything will be delicious.also if you're white, you're probably forgetting to add seasoning.
>>546059657>you don't understand I neeeeed my aioli spread
>>546064022We Americans shouldn’t have to live like yuropoors We are entitled to get fat for cheap
>>546059507> hard boiled egg: 0.14...where the fuck is this guy getting a dozen eggs for only $1.68? Because its not fucking Aldi, I shop at Aldi and its not that cheap.
>>546061532This guy Maths (rocks)!
if i work, why should i be relegated to that every day?
>>546064104you can still get fat for cheap if that's what you wish:get the cheapest carbs you can find, skip breakfast, and eat as much as you can before sleeping
>>546059507Wealthiest nation on earth btw
>>546059657Some meals are just fuel, retard. You’re so used to eating “treats” as meals you don’t understand how everyone used to eat. Even those evil boomers…
>>546064113I shop at a “farmers market” in a strip mall and it’s about 25% cheaper than large supermarkets, they don’t have everything of course, but yea it’s filled with poor illegals that are brown
>>546059507Joel, do you eat that?Lol noAlso 12 eggs aren't a buck and change
>>546061372Eating overpriced restaurant goyslop is not how you’re supposed to eat every day, idiot.
>>546064250We’re the wealthiest nation on earth
>>546061372He's describing a sandwhich, how is eating a sandwich for lunch eating like a peasant?
>>546059507lol none of that costs that little
>>546064113Regardless, it’s still way cheaper than eating restaurant food every day.
>>546064113He just made shit up.
Please know that deli meat is killing you. Preserved meats like deli meat, bacon, and hot dogs are just about the worst thing you can eat in the current year. It's why 30 year olds are dying of colon cancer.
>>546061183>1 slice of cheese>3oz of meat>no veg>no sauce>5 fucking carrot sticksKys foid
>>546064530And fresh fruit/vegetables. These fat idiots are so used to goyslop they don’t understand how normal people eat.
>>546064594Deli meats were not just invented in the last decade. They are not the sole reason for the recent increase in colon cancers.
>>546064488kek
>>546064530A turkey sandwich,apple,boiled egg and 5 carrot sticks is enough for you? What are you 8 years old
>>5460646203oz of meat is nearly a quarter pound. Post your weight, fatty.
>>546064620>no vegLiterally has carrots on the side>no sauce Literally says condiment in the listReading comprehension must be really hard for shitskins
>>546064720You must be fat if that can’t get you to dinnertime.
i too enjoy boiling a single egg for fifteen minutes each day
>>546064720That’s enough for most people in most of the world, only Americans are so gluttonous that every meal needs to be a 3lb mound of sloppa
>>546064745They just flipped out because the list didn’t include Dino nuggets
Zoomers are too stupid to cook, that's another reason why they'll always be brainless wagegoys.
Using “per serving” to calculate it is the same enlightened niggernomics thinking as the Shaq “gas never costs more than half a tank if you just fill it up to half” logic. The issue is that the up-front cost is too needlessly burdensome, and there’s no way around it other than a totally stupid idea or an idea that just adds to the cost. But ok, let’s just save up for five sandwiches (by not eating for 5 days…) or put the 5 sandwiches on Klarna. It’s not that bad, right? Each sandwich is only like $5.
>>546064811The usa's national dish is a sandwich.
>>546064810You do realize that they keep in the fridge for like a week, right? You fatties can’t even conceptialize preparing food for the week can you? What do you think a refrigerator is for? Storing your mt dew code red?
>>546064810You can boil more than one at once and it doesn't take 15 minutes, but continue being a poor nigger because you spent 40% of your salary on goyslop.
>>546059507You'd have to eat 4 or 5 of these a day to reach your calories deficit (unless you are a fatfuck), it's just cheaper to get some pasta, seasoning and lentils, and a nonbeef meat like sausage or chicken and make in bulk tbdesu
>>546064935Zoomers are completely fucking done for man. They think the only way you can get food is by door dashing.
>>546064787>>546064811>I do nothing all day so I can survive on crumbs
>>546064935You can microwave one in 2 mins.
>>546063832Don't you have cows in the UK? The whole place is covered in grass.Anyhoo, it's still cheap to eat if you are able to care for yourself without mommy around. I'm looking forward to some chicken Parm tonight.
>>546064976It’s just lunch man. That’s probably 400-500 calories. If you ate something for breakfast and then had a substantial meal for dinner you’re coming out around 2000 calories for the day.
>>546064280This is the worst aspect, and people are seriously trying to theorycraft a fucking sandwich cost to outthink the fact that there’s an affordability crisis. How about we examine the fact that we’re quibbling over literal cents and saying how stupid the other side is for not realizing that a slice of cheese is $0.50 and not $1? Nobody is ever addressing the fact that conditions have deteriorated far enough for the sandwich argument to ever be a legitimate topic of discussion.
>>546065012Let's try that again, this is In Boston, BTW, so not a low cost area.
>>546065000Dude, like everyone in this country is fat. Everyone is over-eating like crazy. After you are done growing, you don’t need that many calories a day. Don’t act like you’re a fucking Alaskan crab fisherman and need 4k calories a day.
>>546064894Depends on the region: we got cubanos, cheeseteaks, pub subs, po'boys, tortas, brisket sangwich, sloppy joes, reubens, paninis, grilled cheese, BLTs, pimento cheese sandwich, you can even get a knuckle sandwich if you so chose
It's not the cost of food that's the problem. That kinda sucks, but it's not that bad.The problem is that houses start at $400k now.Stop falling for this food price psyop when the real problem is that rent and home prices are FUCKING INSANE.
>>546064594Anal sex.
>>546065093How much is a can of bread in the usa these days?
>>546059507>300% of your daily sodium>loads of carcinogenic preservativesEnjoy the hospital bills, penny pinching faggots
>>546061372You can eat a steak every day for the price you pay for a burrito or lunch at whatever nigger restaurant you ordered from, and that doesn't include jewdash.
>>546064343Fuel for what?More depressive wage slaving suffering?Great. Cool.
>>546065143I work in a warehouse and i only weigh 130 pounds I need a bigger lunch then 1 sandwich to make it through the day
>>546065159I meant a hamburger.
>>546065000Post hand you fat shit lmao
>>546065191He’s giving one example of a cheap meal for lunch. There are countless others that are way cheaper than eating out all the time like these idiots do. People have been eating lunch meat sandwiches for a hundred years or more and only recently had obesity and colon cancer increased. It’s not likely that is a significant cause.
>>546063255Are you being retarded on purpose or are you just a shitskin?
>>546059657You deserve worse. Be grateful.
>>546064113With the eggs I buy it came out to about .25, but I get the nice ones
>>546065216Ok, then it would cost a little more than this. It’s still a fraction of the post he was replying to claiming they lunch is 28 dollars. What argument are you trying to make?
>>546065173Don’t worry, the Dems are going to build Soviet style concrete Krushchevkas for you. You’ll also get to see the doctor free once per year.
>>546065012>Don't you have cows in the UK? The whole place is covered in grass.you'd think so, right? but actually the countryside is mostly sheep and cereal crops.cows require a lot of land, and there is a lot more land in USA or Brazil.
>>546065389>claiming they lunchnigger
>>546065261
>>546061290This, buy two condiments and you've already spent too much money. Unless you eat the same thing every day you'll never use the whole jar before it goes bad either

>>546059507>doesn't shop at Whole Foods
>>546065234Oh ya don'tcha know we've got your hamburgers, we got cheeseburgers, turkey burgers, black bean burgers, bacon hamburgers, hamburger helpers, the Hamburglar, smashburgers...
>>546065447Just a phone autocorrect mistake, dummy.
>>546065389I didn't argue that you can't make cheap lunch I'm just saying one sandwich sounds like a lunch for a little kid not someone grown who isn't some desk jockey
>>546065407>the Dems are going to build Soviet style concrete Krushchevkas for you. You’ll also get to see the doctor free once per year.Based marginal improvement over the status quo

>>546059507>what do you mean you need another 1600 calories a day>eat your one """meal""" and get back to your 12-hour shift, wageslave
>>546065536Because it's a lot harder to steal a pc, nigger.
>>546059507You know, as a 16 year old kid working under the table in 1996, I could buy 8 and a half hamburgers from McDonalds per hour, five gallons of gas, two and a half packs of cigarettes per hour. My wage was five dollars flat per hour. The minimum wage was $5.15, so working under the table was actually a better deal and is what most of us kids tended to do. The McDonald's hamburger was 59 cents a burger (69 for the cheeseburger), the pack of Newports was $1.72 a pack and the gas hovered around 99 cents a galloon. What does an average kid get today? NONE OF THAT. He's most likely not finding an under the table job that would grant that much buying power. No way, no how. Not the majority of them like how it was back in the mid 1990s. This economy fucking blows now. So much of what I can buy today despite making "good money" is about equal to what I could afford 31 years ago.

>>546065855I just looked at a pack of rotisserie chicken slices in my fridge and that’s like half of the package. The whole package is only 7 ounces. Do you use an entire package for one sandwich?
>>546065857Yes, alcohol is the ultimate killer. Unsafe in any quantity.
>>546065964lol, imagine bragging about being a gluttonous pig.
>>546065965>the whole package is only 7 ouncesyes nigger, people use 1/2lb of meat on a sandwhich because that 1/2lb of meat isn't really anywhere near a 1/2lb of meat. it's like 40% water by volume.
>>546066035You seem like your projecting are you fat? Probably it's okay most guys one here are
>>546066078lol, an entire package of lunch meat is not for a single sandwich. Holy fuck how fat are you? Do you use donuts for the bread?
>>546066121I’m not the one that’s talking about how much food I need and how anyone who eats a normal amount of food must be defective.
>>546059507why do burgers love aldi so much
Sean probably thought that if he went to college and worked hard he could have more for himself than just a handful of carrot sticks and a shit sandwich.Joel Berry is part of the problem. Fuck him.

>>546066269>biden>slightly high
>just drink the Israeli fluoridated tap water goyNo.
>>546059507I think a lot of kids were brought up in families that quite possibly did zero homecooking. They may reach adulthood having never even opened a tin of beans, let alone fried an egg. To these people, food is some magical item that you buy fully prepared from shops. It may never occur to them that they should, let alone can, prepare their own meals from scratch. I wouldn't call this "entitlement". Rather it is a form of learned helplessness.
>>546065697Importing 11 million mexicans didn't decrease prices either retard. The idea that businesses would lower prices out of the goodness of their hearts if production was simply a bit cheaper appears to be a jewish myth also
>>546065189Canned bread is pretty expensive everywhere, the process to make it shelf-stable for 25+ years is what makes it expensive. I know that you’re probably leaning into the “America doesn’t have fresh bread” joke that Europeans say, but local bakeries will sell fresh loaves for about $2-$3 each but they go stale within days, and are comparatively larger than European portion sizes, just like every other American consumer good. We don’t have a gorillion different small shops like in Europe, we have to buy it all at once, usually from some continent-spanning multinational corporation, and in large packages. That’s the biggest gripe that people have. The per unit cost is worthless if you have no choice in the quantity that you buy. If people could go into a grocery store and say “I’d like 1 serving size of bread, cheese, and meat, please” then it would be a non-issue. And yes, I know some Anon is going to say “Just go to a deli and ask for one slice of everything!” as if that’s a viable solution, as if everyone acting like a nickel and diming Jew on the same level as a Nathan for You scheme now becoming the new normal is truly the best course of action. That Anon who says this would be a complete rube, and he’s doing exactly what the scheming kikes want, which is for the goyim to minmax the per unit cost of food rather than questioning why it was ever needlessly expensive to begin with.
>>546059507>Continuously and gradually lower the standard of living>Berate them for not "living within their means" because the goyim need to be reminded not to dream that big any more

>>546066269Blaming price increases on a vice president?
>>546059507I just did this list in the walmart app.All the prices were different, some dramatically, but it actually added up to 2.03 after rounding up the partial cent. Its a pretty shitty meal but you can do alot better for slightly more My lunch today was 4 ounces ( cooked weight) chicken 1.40 2 oz fresh spinach .40 1 cup great northern beans .34 2 small gala apples. .40 So $2.54 without a few harder to count items ( salt, oil, seasonings, onion and garlic in the beans) but thats not going to add up to much. The dinner im about to go make ( a spinach salad with vinaigrette, roasted chicken, and veggies plus cottage cheese and apples) is looking more like $4.50So just over 7 dollars a day is my weekday run rate . So not as low as these engagement bait 1 dollar sandwich shitposts, but to their point its a fraction of what you pay to be served like a fast food prince.
>>546065861s0jbeans are higher protein and have a more complete amino acid profile but isoflavones will fuck your shit up. Lentils and most other beans are god tier.
I like how this thread is full of people who dont cook, and therefore dont buy ingredients, screeching.I will say breaking down costs into units that aren't available to purchase is also disingenuous though.Bag of bread $3Head of lettuce $4 Tomato $2 Mustard jar $4 Mayo jar $5 Deli meat package $5 Jar of pickles $5 Bag of carrots $2 So $30, but you'll get probably two or three sandwiches. you'll then run out of meat, so you need maybe 3 packages of meat to use up the bread. So like 6 sandwiches for $40 if you make at home. In calgary alberta a sandwich at the restaurant/deli is $15-$20 a sandwich. I think they still might be $10 at Keith's Deli but I havent been in a while.
>>546066275I mix it up but this would be an example of a typical breakfast/lunch2 hard boiled eggsRaw almonds (not roasted in oil/salted)Yogurt or fruit of some type (apple or orange or banana)sandwich with like 3.5oz of meat, lettuce, cheese lettuce/condimentCarrots or other vegetable Maybe a snack of some type, but not alwaysWater

Everyone just needs to be like Polish soup anon and eat 30-year-old military surplus grain cooked on a hot plate in a metal Soviet milsurp canteen, and his eating utensils are either reusable steel or some shit that he boosted from his job. His meat and veg are almost nonexistent, but are 100% foraged or stolen if they ever make an appearance.Yes, we need to adopt the dubious survival strategy or a brokeass nigga living in a post-communist shithole. It really says a lot about your nation if this strikes you as a perfectly reasonable thing to ask of everybody.

>>546067131I like to see how much american I can speak without using any English.>Imma gonna wanna getta baddle af warder.
just batshit that "people" are going through life, eating store shelf mayo (like animals) instead of making their own
>>546066752That just wouldn't be enough I go in at 5 am and don't get back until 8 pm some days if I have to run errands after work so I need enough food to last
>>546066078kek I looked it up and you're actually undershooting. bologna is like 60% water, while other meats are closer to 70%.unless you're eating beef jerky though, why cry about water in your food? apples are mostly water, lettuce and tomato are mostly water. if you don't want to consume water then eat hard tack.
>>546067373Ok, then your situation is different than most people. Regardless you don’t spend 28 dollars on lunch I’m sure.
>>546064720it's ONE meal, dumbfuck, not your entire caloric intake for the day.

>>546065457>condiments going badI've never seen this happen, and I once had the same mayonnaise for nine years. (some weird japanese spicy mayo)
>>546067602I think the main argument they were making even if undershooting the portions/prices is that preparing your own lunch is the solution to overpriced restaurant food that people are addicted to.
>>546064250Skipping breakfast is called intermittent fasting now and it's good for you. Try to keep up, Muhammed.
>>546064683>Deli meats were not just invented in the last decade. They are not the sole reason for the recent increase in colon cancers.The difference is the techniques. The cancer is caused by nitrates/nitrites. We've known this literally for decades but they're still legal for some reason. Some ancient cultures did use nitrate/nitrite rich natural salts for curing food. But not nearly the same levels we do today.Side fun fact: there has never been a single study about general health differences separating diets high in nitrates/nitrites and those with none. The studies that show the colon cancer rate for meat eaters is high are literally just confirming what we knew about these chemicals.
>>546066078You might use a full package of meat for one sandwich, but human people do not.
>>546067726Food is still supposed to be a reasonable price even if it's garbage this is a sign of a larger issue that the standard will continue dropping and we are just supposed to except it anyone arguing this faggot budgeting and telling you how to live is the solution is a fucking kike/glownigger
>>546065965If 3 slices of deli meat is half a package of deli meat, you're cutting your slices like bricks.
>>546064720It's about 600 calories. The average healthy male needs about 2400. If you do a big breakfast and a medium large dinner this is enough for a young healthy active male who isn't overweight.
>>546066732>I will say breaking down costs into units that aren't available to purchase is also disingenuous though.I get what you mean, but I also think it's not disingenuous. It's a naive attempt at educating people who prefer to stay offensively ignorant.The number of times I've heard "a bag of groceries is a hundred dollars!" is demoralizing. People can only look at their total, even receipt in hand, and exclaim "I spent four hundred dollars!" while still not being able to understand, using basic addition, how that number is possible.And then you have the wives and mothers who casually say dumb shit like, "It costs $1,200 a month to feed our family of four". No it doesn't, you idiot woman; you're just wasting tons of money on stuff you don't need.
>>546068005Lol>if you do a meal that will be bigger earlier and after So no
>>546059657No, that's a "Brotzeit" as millions of people enjoy on a daily basis.
>>546068005So I should have to cut back on the quality of my meals and have disconnected faggots try to tell people how to spend their money and you want to rationalize it?
>>546068005NTA, but I try and eat at least 1900 calories a day, and it's hard for me to lose weight. I cut out sugary drinks a while ago, lost 15 pounds just from that, then started cutting out excessive snacking, lost another 10 pounds from that. I'm now trying to eat only 1800-2000 calories a day to eat on a deficit, but I've been steadily maintaining my weight at 242 lbs.
>>546059657This is why the argument did not work this time.The people complaining this time werent the mean ole city slickers crying about their avocado toastYOU go work at a construction site or with your hands, standing, for 8-12 hours, on 600 calories.I bet these lying kikes wont.This time it was actual normal people. Like it got so bad, they noticed.
>>546067944Your anger is understandable, even justified, but you're misapplying it. No, telling someone that they can spend less than $28 per meal isn't kike shit. It's helpful advice towards someone who is confused and slightly retarded.Two things can be true at the same time. Yes, food prices are way up, and might even be a concerted price gouging effort by stores. I do track prices, and it's insane how a 15 oz can of corn was $0.50 in 2019 and today it can be like $1.25. But at the same time, too many people just Doordash everything and then cry that they're broke. Both things are true: food is more expensive, and people are making retarded spending decisions and retarded lifestyle choices.The latter is within an individual person's power to change. It's a good idea to swallow your pride and just do it. Budget, for your own sake. Don't dig in your heels and insist that prices should magically become cheaper right now, just because you don't feel like learning to budget. That's delusional.
>>546068131If you choose to eat more for lunch than you do for dinner, then of course you'd want more than a single sandwich, but that's unusual. Most people treat lunch like a snack, and dinner as the main meal of the day.
>>546068326My lunch is reasonable but it's still bullshit the fact people are accepting it is even worse they are content and even proud of the fact they eat less
>>546067418>unless you're eating beef jerky though, why cry about water in your food?because again, you are paying for 1lb of meat, and eating what you think is 3-4oz of meat, but turns out you are paying for 3oz of meat and eating like 1 oz. so like i said, yes, people DO use that much sliced deli meat on a sandwhich. 3 oz of "meat" is not anywhere near 3 oz of meat. to actually eat 3 oz of actual meat on a sandwhich, you'd have to put at least 8 oz of "meat" on it.
>>546059507Where is this nigger getting hard boiled eggs for 14 cents?
>>546068146cute and funny sandwichcunnywich
>>546068391Are you sure that's everyone? Every person who says, "you can go about things a different way, you can live frugally and thrive" is just boastful and arrogant?I think you are looking at only the negative and exaggerating it to make yourself feel like shit. Some people are sincere, and trying to help.
Most people eat breakfast and dinner at home, too. The context is a retard paying a restaurant for lunch in an area with a captive audience in a city.
>>546064988>Zoomers are completely fucking done for man.Agreed. I try being an optimist, but there is no difference between a nigger and a zoomer. There's no hope for the future because zoomers are that fucking retarded.
>>546059507>Rice is 30 dollars for a 50 lb bag>Oatmeal is even cheaper>pork meat, offal, eggs and yogurt are extremely cheap as well>vegetables like cabbage cost penniesPeople just won't and can't cook, and their idea of making dinner is copying a chefs recipe online and buying 25 ingredients they dont have then complain that eating at a restaurant is cheaper. People are unironically retarded.
>>546059507Yes.
Why is every grifters response to food prices going up is to eat like a peasant?
>>546068434But raw steak is 70% water content. Raw chicken is 69% water content. I don't think you have a case here. This is paranoid behavior.Nobody is going to desiccate your meat (and fruit, and vegetables) for you just so that you can feel like you're getting your money's worth by not paying for the water content.
>>546063255You buying that at a gas station or some blue shithole jeet store?
>>546064343>Some meals are just fuel, retard3oz of turkey between two slices of something that can't legally be sold as bread in most of the world is not "fuel" and barely constitutes food. The richest country in the world has an affordability crisis? Meanwhile Chinese are retiring in their mid-twenties in safe, modern, homogenous cities with full bellies and amenities.
>>546068454Walmart, Target, and Kroger all sell store-brand eggs for 14 cents per egg, right now.If you want "cage free" or whatever, that'll cost closer to 30 or 50 cents an egg.
>>546064742this lmao>>546064620you're a fucking "family size" lardtard kek
>>546059507>capitalism is superior you see, look at how high living standards are rising>uh sorry bud, maybe try eating rice and beans and cutting back on the water heater
>>546068214>So I should have to cut back on the quality of my meals and have disconnected faggots try to tell people how to spend their money and you want to rationalize it?Do you think a sandwich from a deli is somehow healthier than one that's homemade?You want to know what meat is in my freezer/fridge? Spot prawns, dungeness crabs, salmon, halibut, scallops, and mountain goat. All of it comes from a 10 mile radius around my house and I didn't pay a dime for any of it except the gas to get there, one bullet, and a $60/year hunting AND fishing license. Seafood was all harvested from my kayak which I can walk from my house and launch. Go live where healthy food is if that's what you want. I am going to pay for a $6 ferry ticket to go deer hunting this week and one more bullet.
>>546068079That dude just broke down how sandwhiches for a week can run up to $40. Add in ingredients for a week of dinners and you're pushing $80-$100 depending on what you make and that's assuming you skip all breakfasts (which I do so I expect many others do as-well). So yes, a weeks worth of groceries for basic meals can run up to a hundred dollars or more. A family of four needing 3-500 is well within an expected range. Now do it 4 times a month and there's your $1200+ grocery bill. If you want to push it down to $800 a month because you can make rice flour, sugar and salt go a long way fine but even then that's an 800 dollar expense for what was a 1-200 dollar grocery trip in 2002 and doing so while eating like a mexican which no American under any circumstances should be compelled to have to make his family do.
>>546059507>live in the richest, most technologically advanced country the world has ever seen>eat like a fucking medieval peasant, and be happy
>>546068246You are most likely underestimating your calories. The biggest factor is usually condiments, mayo and salad dressings are mostly oil which is the most calorie dense food we eat besides sugar.
>>546068246If you eat cheese cut that out milk too
>>546064022Are you brown?
>>546063255A whole jar of mustard, 250ml, is €0.59 or $0.65 at ALDI.
>>546059507>lunch just costs $28 nowSure, if you choose to get a $28 lunch, but that's the same thing as saying cars just cost $250,000 now because you chose to buy a 250k one
>>546068639China has an even greater issue with wealth disparity and hardship, people sleep out on the street and in their cars while making barely enough to afford the loans they took out to run their business you obvious chinknigger
>>546059507Lets see his early life
>>546063399Aldi's is expensive here. Winco, Foodco are the places to shop. Walmart if your too lazy and want free pickup. SaveMart is probably the best quality meat if you want expansive meals and a has a good deli. We have good options here. I know a guy in the uk around wales and he thinks we all eat blocks of radioactive cheese or something. Asked me if I knew what a pomegranate was. I have a tree in the backyard. It's all propaganda aka jews. I tried Aldi's, this is the second one they've put here, it reminds me of a government commune really compared to the others and expensive.
>>546059507>Everyone makes their own breakfasts and lunches>All the restaurants/cafes/etc shut down as nobody is eating ther>Now you have even less people with money or jobsCongrats. Economies function by people interacting with it, not by people NOT interacting with it lmao.
>>546068823I don't care which one is healthier I care the we are being forced to accept 3rd world standards of living and peoples mindset is just "yeah just get use to I'm happy to live like a fucking nigger"
>>546059507but i need to doordash and only eat five guys burgers? its like 40 bucks each meal
>lol
>>546065457Most condiments have so much salt, sugar, and/or vinegar that they're never going to go bad.
>>546061183It could use a tomato and some lettuce or sprouts or something. Makes it healthier and tastier.
>>546068528They also cope and move the goalposts. When cooking the most luxurious food imaginable is too expensive, they fall back on take-out. Then they inevitably cry about credit card debt. When you tell them to cook at home to save money, they screech that they don't have TIME for that. So suddenly it becomes a time constraint issue. (Can't possibly detract from their 4+ hours of daily doomscrolling to be productive, that's locked in.)>rice in the rice cooker, 2 minutes of prep tops>season some pork chops or chicken legs, throw in the oven, 2 minutes tops>dinner cooks for 45 minutes while you watch anime or somethingWOW SO HARD AND TIME CONSUMING>>546068888I guess it depends on where you live but for a larger family buying food in like 1lb increments is certified retardation. $500 a week for four people is not normal, let alone necessary. The lion's share of my grocery bill is just coffee and olive oil.We have a real problem with people being peasants yet harboring a sense of entitlement to live like nobility. If your finances are tight, act accordingly.
>>546069062Are you joking? You can look at any Walmart parking lot and see people camping out there in their cars just because Walmart has a policy to never kick people off of the lot for camping out there (within reason, of course). If it’s a place like California then you’ll see dozens of people on any given night. With Gen Z Americans, they are unironically making a calculated decision to do just that as a serious lifestyle strategy, and their peers praise them for how smart of an idea this is. The fact that we’ve gotten to that point, and that society views that as some kind of rugged individualist survival strategy, is absurd.I don’t know if China has some other version of a corporation that has adopted the stance that their parking lot can be used as a makeshift homeless encampment (within reason), but those problems aren’t unique to China in the slightest. You might say that the Chinese government just goes in and cracks the skulls of any homeless and effectively makes it illegal… well, that happens in America too. It happens a lot, especially in parts of the southern US where it actually is illegal.
>>546068246I second the idea that you are probably under counting. One study found among people who actively measure all their food, the average under count of calories was around 20 percent. So that is a 20 percent error by people who are already engaged enough woth diet to measure and count. Try a larger deficit. If your 1900 is low by a couple hundred that could easily get you to maintenance. Shave off 4 or 500 for a few weeks and I bet you will see movement. Just eat smart and its not hard. Also dont listen to the faggots that are going to tell you that your metabolism is fucked while quoting reality TV. You have not lost near enough weight fast enough to cause metabolic issues. Also, dont take the calories too literally. Knowing the nutritional caloric content of a food is difficult even with serious lab equipment, and you have no idea what your actually TDEE is. Its all guess work.
>>546062830Kek! This!!! You nailed that mindset.Important discovery.
>>546069539Of course there is a housing affordability crisis. But the absolute retard CCP shill I was replying to was clearly telling boldfaced lies to try to make China seem worth a shit when it has the same problems as the US. Also, why are you talking to me as if I'm not an American and telling me all of these things that I already know about? Are you not an American?
>>546069256> making your own food is "3rd world"> my quality of life is measured by having a servant feed meGood luck out there comrad
>>546059657Hahaha all those mad as fuck fags who eat sandwiches with white bread, Velvetta, bologna, and mustard responding to you. No wonder this generation is getting beaten up by women. Fucking twats
>>546068639This is a hilariously delusional post. China is exceedingly poor. I feel so sorry for them every day.
>>546070014It's rather telling, how even ostensibly right-wing people suddenly swing to communistic ideals as soon as they're not able to live lavishly anymore. It's like a fair-weather friendship, but for politics and finances.
>>546069480>for a larger family buying food in like 1lb increments is certified retardation.Not if 1) the closest grocery stores to you have no bulk options (distance traveled adds to regular gasoline costs) or 2) You're too poor for bulk options. Having $15 for bread and milk and deli-meat is a very different thing than having $15 for a ham. + bread and milk. When your budget has a hard limit even if a better deal exists the deal can still be outside of your budgets ability to accommodate. I can go out and buy $30 of tinned spam and have all the meat I need for the next two months but I don't want to eat Spam for two months. The real world isn't an arithmetic problem even when you're dealing with arithmetic problems because life has factors outside of the simple numbers in, numbers out considerations. > $500 a week for four people is not normal, Which is why I gave it as the upper limit on a range starting at $300 which conveniently you didn't comment on. I wonder why that would be. > We have a real problem with people being peasants yet harboring a sense of entitlement to live like nobility.Americans are entitled to a lifestyle befitting the economic and military power of our nation and it's global influence. The fact that you don't believe this indicates you should be hanged from the tallest tree in your town of residence as a subversive.
>>546069894I’m American, and I know that the “China is a shithole” narrative falls flat on its face in many cases because we do the same stupid shit. >HomelessExists in America>CrimeMore prolific and more deadly in America>AffordabilityStatistically, China has us beat>Uppity minorities doing whatever they wantWhat minorities? For the Chinese, the Uyghurs in the camps were always Chinese, and will always be Chinese… at least the ones still alive are>Globohomo Jew shitDoesn’t exist in China. Most of the LBTQOMGWTFBBQ+ bullshit in the world is an entirely American cultural export>Social credit scoreAmerica has a real credit score that’s not used anywhere else in the world, and it’s used in the same way as a mechanism of social manipulation and compliance, and is far older than the Chinese system. All of the glaring Chinese economic and socioeconomic problems exist in America because the chinks modeled their economy after America’s after Mao’s plan took a giant shit on itself. Where do you think that the chinks got such a crazy idea?>China creates all of these crazy diseases because it’s so filthyThere are literal bubonic plague outbreaks happening in the southwest United States at this very moment.I am, however, proud of the fact that America is still head and shoulders above everyone else in regard to technology, and the unimaginative bugmen can’t make anything without committing IP theft against America.
>>546068639>Meanwhile Chinese are retiring in their mid-twenties in safe, modern, homogenous cities with full bellies and amenities.You had me until the blatant lies.
>>546059657i microwave 2 potatoes for breakfast and eat them on the way to work. my grocery bill is $30 per week for 3 meals a day. that's one hour of work for food. jews cannot fathom the lengths to which i will go to spite them.
>>546070487What’s the point of ever aspiring to be a wealthy nation if the default condition for 99% of people within it is to be a third world peasant? I think that’s what almost every Anon in this thread is missing. They’re viewing it as a mathematical equation that needs to be balanced by switching around some variables, and any intellectual challenge is focusing on the minutiae of what goes into calculating it rather than the circumstances that led to it.Fuck it, I don’t care about the wealth of prosperity of the nation. I’m going to be a brokeass nigga regardless of the nation being wealthy or poor, so who cares? I’ll just focus on finding a clever combination to lower my meal cost by $0.02 per serving as if I’m trying to cobble a bunch of bullshit armor and stats together like I’m making a Dark Souls build.
>>546059507I'd rather vote for a better leader. He can eat the sandwich.
>>546059507Those are 20 year old pricesThis kike is lying, as usualJust another regular day of kike lies
