I pay extra for free range chicken and eggs and other quality ingredients but I don't waste money on goyslop.

I just don't waste money on delivery bullshit like all zoomers nowadays.

According to Boomer contrarians, if I completely abstained myself from all food that I enjoy and instead sustain entirely off rice and beans for the rest of my life, I could afford a $30k down payment for a $1million 1-bedroom starter home.

It's actually ridiculous how everyone seems to use delivery services now or are eating in restaurants every day.
Does no one know how buy food items and how to cook anymore?
The amount spent on delivery and tips is staggering.

>>58786933
I just buy whole sale, it saves the most money on food that's actually healthy and tasty to eat.

I find it hard to do. I’m always going to chipotle and getting fast food because it saves me time grocery shopping and preparing food. Feel like after working all day I just don’t wanna do all that. But I end up spending quite a bit monthly on food so it sucks.

>>58786933
I fast to save money, then when I eat I spend it on quality food.

Remember kids, health >>>> wealth.

>>58786933
Food, coffee and alcohol are the most effective way to save money.

>>58786933
If your net worth is below 20k it should be seen as mandatory if you don’t want to be a slave. Living is like being on a treadmill and you need to be able to move forwards by saving and investing

>>58786933
>cheap out on food just to save money
yes. discounted ground meats, discounted whole roasted chickens, gas station eggs and bread and milk.

Paying full price is for suckers

>>58787170
>gas station
Don’t they usually just buy shit from the grocery store nd increase the price?

>>58787176
nah senpai, this is kwik star. good eggs and milk and bread. also cheap bananas and some veggies.

>>58786967
I am proud to say that I have never once in my life used those delivery services out of pure principal. You pay some dude to deliver you food, that you dont even know what was done with it before. Then you got to tip that dude or else they start spitting in your food. And all that for a huge premium.

If you cook yourself you will have your food ready more quickly than from some delivery dude and if you batch food for a whole week and freeze it, its even quicker. Yes this includes the time it takes to buy the groceries for it, which you can also get delivered btw.

Its a whole fucking scam and I look down on anyone who uses delivery food services.

>>58786933
That's a weird question because most people would eat healthier on a budget.

>>58786933
Meh. Sometimes. Today I will eat two pizzas. At lunch I ate an overpriced wood fired pie. Now I am heating up a frozen pizza that was $3.

Even good hamburger meat and eggs is cheaper than taco bell.

>>58786933
i would never skip good quality food just to save a few dollars. you cant put 87 gas into a Ferrari and expect peak performance. ironically the seed oil poisoned goyslop that passes as cheap food would be more like putting chinese sewer oil into a Ferrari.

I can't save money, I have a severe addiction on flip.gg rain time ;_;

I make almost all of my food. fast food is insanely expensive now, even if you use each company’s app, as they force you to do now. I usually make chicken thighs, salmon, steak, sometimes bolognese. things for breakfast are probably the cheapest comparatively when made at home, even with eggs still being expensive. I think coffee, oatmeal, Greek yogurt, berries (from the garden) is probably less than a dollar in ingredients.

>>58786933
i budget it, its not that expensive as people make it out to be, actually my side gig of farming airdrops from the unicorn chain covers all the costs
eating healthy is another task, like brushing your teeth, some days it will be food that you don't like, like pure veggies and no coffee or alcohol, and some days you can eat expensive or unhealthy shit, but it's another responsibility to maintain it, its another cost of life so i don't cheap out on it

>>58786933
you can eat really well for $20/day if you cook yourself
absolute brainlet tier thinking to cheap out on food or spend money on expensive restaurant goyslop

>>58787643
Greek yogurt is insanely expensive for what you get.

I water fast for at least 3 days at a time so I can put more of my wagie wage into crpyto and stonks.

>>58788551
its also fucking disgusting. might as well eat drywall mud

>>58788561
There's ways to fix that, but in terms of cheap protein I'd rather just chug whey with whole milk.

>>58788561
You pussy. Greek yogurt is delicious

Do not cheap out on food, it is the cheapest thing you can do to be closer mentally and spiritually to a wealthy person , even if you are not one. Obviously cook your own food, if you are trying to save money, but cook quality food.

Hell no man, you are what you eat.

>>58786933
Even if you don't cook literally just buy healthier frozen shit like frozen veggies. Also eat a shitton of rotisserie chicken. Get a keurig if you tend to order coffees. Overnight oats or yogurt for breakfast.

>>58788551
it is, and oddly it is one of the things I buy where the store brand is inexplicably more expensive than the regular brands.

>>58786933
I just buy normal food and cook it normally like a normal person. Fancy food is gay
>>58787165
Fasting is horrible for your health. You should just be eating 2000 cal a day every day, it's that simple. Just be normal

>>58786933
I don't eat too much, I try to take all the protein and carbs I need for the day, but things like going to restaurants are a no-no for me, I need to save as much as possible for a car, holding $kendu for it's no longer enough, I need that shit asap to move out

>>58786933
Poor people would buy a bag of frozen french fries and think hey're saving money with a $1 off coupon. A bag of potatoes is $3 and you get a lot more of them and they'd taste better if you prepare them right.

>>58786933

Buy good food. Don't skimp out on this, or you're going to feel and look like shit.

>>58786947

BRAAAAAP

>>58789440
For all the washing, peeling and chopping avoided, frozen chips are cheap. The only problem is the vegetable oils used and other additives.

>>58787163
This is why cereal is an apex soup. It mogs literally everything.

I've used doordash exactly once, years ago. Was simultaneously too busy to stop for lunch and too lazy to make my own lunch - usually I just forego eating in that case, but I was craving on that mcchicken too hard. Although it was a very convenient service, it was also very much not worth the cost in the end. Fast food already had suboptimal prices (to say nothing of fast food in [Current Year]) and to add delivery fees + tip on that is quite the premium. It's just not economical to spend like that.

Not that being "uneconomical" ever stopped normies lol. Most people quite literally eat their wealth.

beer is cheaper than bread

>>58792126
And the problem is?

>>58786933
I eat carnivore and it's cheaper than how most people eat. Yes the foods themselves are expensive but not wasting money on all the snacks and imported shit people eat saves a huge amount of money. Goes without saying I don't eat at restaurants or use delivery services.

>>58792126

Depends where you live. Not in my country.

>>58792126
Beer is liquid bread take the
/peasant/ pill

>>58792126
Bread is literally flour water and yeast, it's not far from beer in terms of nutrition

>>58786933
No. I always have good food.
When i need to save i just cook and pack my own lunch. $300 per month is no joke. Bought btc, eth, kas, all the way since 2022.

>>58786967
I was doordashing quite a bit a while ago but I can get almost a week's worth of chicken breast tilapia and rice for the cost of one mcdonalds meal so I stopped

>>58786933
I have to eat whatever is in my mommys kitchen

qrd on this guy?

>>58794004
reviewbrah

>>58794004
He's been a meme for years. he reviews fast food on YouTube but dresses in a suit. he was brought up by his grandparents so he is slightly autistic in a good way. he's a good guy with no drama so most people at least respect him

>>58787237
Same. If I want to get take out, I’ll go get it myself. No way im gonna pay a stranger to bring it to me cold. I have used delivery services for booze only. I will never DoorDash food though; its a matter of principle for me.
