20kg sack of rice is cheap and lasts a while.
Flour is cheap.
Eggs are cheap
Potatoes
Canned tuna
Etc
A lot of those who complain about groceries could swap out what they would rather have until times improve.
- emushack 1y agoYeah! And they could sell their refrigerators too! They use way too much electricity. <eye roll>
- v5v3 1y agoNo. Actually should get more freezer space if possible. So can buy in bulk on offer and freeze. You clearly have never been broke and are clueless!!!
- huhkerrf 1y agoIs there anything someone can do to save money and stretch their budget farther, or are we saying that's all off base?
- emushack 1y agoI'm saying it's blaming the victim to assume the problem is that they aren't frugal enough.
- tekla 1y agoWhy would they do that? Refrigerators are incredibly efficient and cheap to run and are a modern miracle of extending food shelf life/
- emushack 1y agoBecause "POOR PEOPLE" have so much stuff! Why do they have so much stuff if they're poor! https://youtu.be/Al5E3KbIfeo?t=24 https://youtu.be/Al5E3KbIfeo?t=24 I mean they should really be more frugal. Having a refrigerator is clearly a ridiculous luxury.
- rkomorn 1y ago> A lot of those who complain about groceries could swap out what they would rather have until times improve. People can certainly complain about having to change what they eat because, even though they've had no changes in their lives (eg job / income / expense changes), prices have increased substantially.

- dahart 1y agoSmaller portion == increased price, no?
