kudos to those who can afford being vegan. I know that with this spreads nutritional ratio I would either gain weight rapidly (and thus have to sub in more expensive proteins) or have to work out all the time. I

You can make fresh spinach last longer if you layer in some napkins/paper towels (something something moisture, I don’t really know the science).

It's fine that you don't eat meat, but where's the protein in your diet? Beans, tofu, peas?

For the price of one 10 pack of uncrustables you can get 2 loaves of bread and a jar each of PB and J, and have sandwiches for 2 weeks!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

You can buy a cutter from Amazon to make your own uncrustables. Cheaper and you have more control on flavors.

I love that cats universally smell and rub their cheeks on groceries.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Try the app for your grocery. Chances are there are coupons for sone of this stuff on the app. Try fresh or frozen green beans next time. Canned green beans are awful.

Your colon is going to hate you.

Not bad, not great. I buy my veggies from a grocery that specializes in that, it's much cheaper and less plastic. No yogurt? No solid/brick cheese? No nuts and dried fruit? No canned beans or dried beans? Peanut butter?

What you really need is a $/portion table to see what's actually expensive here.

I think the muffins tip you over the edge into junk food land. They are very empty and basically the same as the rolls, the kraft dinner, and whatever is in the red box. A fair bit of this stuff is basically sugar and bread.

That is a lot of processed food.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

$87 for grocery used to get you gourmet organic foods. In 2024 you get uncrustables. I hate this timeline.

If you eat a lot of pasta I would recommend learning some simple sauce recipes. Tomato sauce is probably the cheapest, and it's basically a can of whole tomatoes, half an onion, some garlic, and some herbs. Cream sauces might be cheaper to buy canned, but you can make those with some cream, onions, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.

Other than that it looks like you're making good choices. The system just sucks ass. I hope your next trip is more fruitful.

You could've saved $3 on the pack of tortillas by spending $10 on a bag of masa and 6 hours making enough tortillas to feed a small battalion

Oh god. Are we gonna do this? Is this gonna spawn a month of "This is how much I got for X in X" posts?

Presliced cheese is typically more expensive than block. Alfredo is cheap to make from scratch. The instant Mac that comes in the microwavable bowls are like 2.5x the price per ounce of the ones that are just packets.

They also use some sort of thickener that turns into mucusy slime when water is poured on it so you don't have to use milk or butter. We're at the point now where there are better ways to eat your processed foods, LOL.

I've always held that belief about block vs shredded/sliced cheese, but in my receny grocery trips, I've noticed that all the stores in my area charge the same by weight for block, shredded, and sliced. Obviously YMMV

You have a kitty, swiss rolls, and (from the looks of it) a hammock. Are you accepting house guests?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

great value swiss rolls 🤢

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only 20% is natural ingredients. 80% is processed foods. Typical futile attempt to eat healthy. Terrible diet.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are better ways to say that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I expect English is their second language, based on the surreal absurdity of the binary state of "healthy" and "futility". It's all a futile attempt, we all die. The comment reads like a Salvador Dali or René Magritte. C'est ne pas une pipe.

Which isn't me ripping on someone for learning a new language, it's just an emergent property of people unconstrained by convention.

It’s a lot of processed bread / carb products and very little protein.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

I agree the cat looks mostly fat with very little quality protein content. 😸

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lots of cheese. Op is probably vegetarian

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They said this in the post

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Doh. I completely missed that.
