Anarchy is black, blood is red

Revolutions happen when bullets are cheaper than bread

My splurge is buying a bag of pretzel bread rolls once every 2 weeks for $4 for four rolls. My groceries are milk, bread, eggs, and potatoes. Frozen broccoli if I can afford it.

I am starving send help.

Potassium isn't in multivitamins. Make sure your multi has iodine. This solved most of my energy and mood issues that weren't macronutritional

You can also get the iodine from iodized salt which is usually quite cheap.

If you can, I recommend adding cabbage, carrots, and frozen peas. The cabbage will help prevent scurvy.

I love to cook, but prices have been getting steadily higher for less in my country too. These days I have largely stopped buying much food (my office supplies lunch, so I just make that my one meal for the day). Which sounds insane, but even if I can afford groceries it just feels painful to spend so much on a fairly small amount. When I do buy groceries now I jyst buy eggs and flour and make a lot of pasta, mostly cacio e pepe or aglio e olio. It's the most cost efficient thing I can think of.

10 years ago: millenials order too much avocado toast at the brunch restaurant, of course they're poor

Now: gen Z make too much avocado toast at home, of course they're poor

So weird the elites keep lowering the bar of what a “luxury” is.

Gen Z is eating THREE TIMES A DAY, what does this mean for the economy?!

To be fair big chain grocery stores overprice the shit out of their healthy, trendy food. The local Chinese supermarket has all the same trendy shit at 25% of the price sometimes. A bottle of kombucha doesn't have to cost 5 euro.
