Eating like that, no, you can't live like this. At least, not for long.

Have you tried buying food instead of whatever the fuck this garbage is?

[–] sparkl_motion 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That’s my thought as well. They NEED to buy the name brand items as well?

There are PLENTY of corners that can be cut, as well as buying items that can be made into larger meals (soups, pastas, etc.) that reheat well.

Whoever this person was needs to rethink their wants and needs, then shop accordingly to their budget.

And that's exactly where the billionaires and ruling class want you.

Could be twice the amount when getting store brands instead of luxury brands.

[–] neptune@dmv.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

While your point is well taken, luxury brands?

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

luxury brands?

When the product isn't really that good but you pay a lot more just because there's "Oreo's" written on the product for example.

[–] neptune@dmv.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's normally called Name Brand, what you are referring to is store brand, which is usually cheaper.

Oreos are not a "luxury".

[–] sparkl_motion 1 points 1 year ago

They also aren’t a necessity.

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

If those were luxury brands the ramen would be shin black

Average moderator shopping cart.

[–] aaronbieber 8 points 1 year ago

No, you really can't.

Russian DIY only!

Ooo, I haven't had Velveeta in like 20 years. Now I'm going to go and eat a whole block of it, and I refuse to shoulder any of the blame or responsibility for that!

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like... just the Velveeta?

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No. No, no, no, no, no.
No no no no no no no no
Noooooooooooooooo no no

Throw in at least a hot pepper or two. I bet you can swing a carolina reaper in the middle of the block.

Ain’t no way that’s 200 bucks

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

This is yet another one of those arguments where somehow EVERYBODY ELSE is guilty but NOT ME, ohhhh no not me. I'm perfect. Haha /s
