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

[–] bookmeat@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

All that produce fresh from the factory!

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

[–] sparkl_motion 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

It's a joke.

Americans are scared to touch a bean.

I heard they bite

Looks like a troll to me

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah it's all garbage name brand junk food

[–] const_void@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago (1 children)

While your point is well taken, luxury brands?

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

They also aren’t a necessity.

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

If those were luxury brands the ramen would be shin black

[–] Plibbert@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

Average moderator shopping cart.

[–] aaronbieber 8 points 2 years ago

No, you really can't.

[–] pescetarian@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago (1 children)

Like... just the Velveeta?

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

... ... ... ...

Yes.

[–] PickTheStick@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago

Ain’t no way that’s 200 bucks

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years 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
