My boyfriend (20) and I (18) have been living together for 2 years in an urban apartment. For us, it usually goes like this:
- Delivery
- Eating out
- Cooking at home
We visit our parents (and they visit us) often, and they give us lots of home-cooked food. We mostly cook at home just for fun.
I’m curious what it’s like for other people, especially in different age groups or family setups!
Snacks are an incredible waste of money and they have some of the largest profit margins of all grocery items. $5 for a bag of chips that isn’t even a pound is disgusting, but they charge it because people pay it. It only makes sense to buy snacks if you’re wealthy from screwing other people over, or you’re on welfare.
If you want to eat cheap, you need to swallow your pride. Probably one of the best meals that just about anyone can make is a microwave meatball sub with raw broccoli and carrots on the side. Extremely easy, very cheap, filling, and it’s always going to be delicious if you’re actually hungry.
Get used to eating the same things over and over again, and stop treating food like entertainment.
Hmm… It is easy to hate the rich, but are you brave enough to despise the poor
What are you talking about?
If you are asking in earnest. You should really give some thought where the conditioning to repeat this trope is coming from.
I am not even going to dispute that some poors have bad spending habits but that ain’t what this comment is about.
Have you ever been on welfare? They give you enough money to get snacks, too.
You can eat cheap and still enjoy it, without so much repetition.
I agree with cutting out mindless snacking though, that’s not good for you.
You can eat real food cheaply rather than living from a microwave.
It’ll take a lot more effort, but yeah of course you can.
