A few things.
1. Perhaps they have substantially less spending money than you do. (I never understood cutting back on food expenses until my wife and I went through some tough financial times.)
2. Perhaps they don't value food as much as you do. I enjoy good food, but I'd never say that it is near the top of my priority list. I'd much rather have cheap food and a better broadband connection than the reverse.
3. Perhaps they are trying to scrape together every bit of money they can to put towards their startup. There is a reason that PG uses the phrase "ramen profitable."
- maxhs 16y agoI'm scraping together every bit of money towards my startup... but not skimping on food at all. Perhaps that's because it's a food startup and I'd feel hypocritical eating ramen everyday! But, really, it's more because I think there are better things to skimp on than food.. i.e. the fuel that makes us who we are and sustains us everyday. Besides I've got 3 years of data to show that it's possible to eat cheaply and still get great food.. you just have to do a few things: 1. buy in volume 2. cook for yourself/others, don't eat out 3. cut back on meat 4. waste as little as possible! The startup is foodia, btw. More to come soon...
