lol what

>>11090963
Kek this. You can literally raise them in your backyard in a coop made from refuse.

>>11090949
Why does everyone on here e-boost their income like it fucking matters?

>>11090898
Only beef and lamb is expensive here (uk), pork, chicken and mince is cheap as fuck. What gets on my nerves is that we are an island surrounded by water yet fish with the exception of tinned sardines and mackerel is expensive for some reason, surely fish should be the cheapest, its like £3 for 1 scabby 200g fillet of cod or haddock. For £3 you could get a 1kg of pork shoulder

>>11091137
Fish are wild and hogs are farmed. Farmed fish is usually a bit cheaper. Historically fish was so cheap that it was eaten by the masses but we fished the fuck out of populations.

>>11091109
I don't know why. If I had money to burn right now I'd do something like take my family out bowling or buy my kids a new vidya and watch them play it.

>>11091149
Because most my free money goes towards investments. The rest is spent on beer and gas so I can get drunk at the creek.

Raw chicken quarters are like 90 cents a pound at Aldi. That's cheaper than most vegetables. Red meat is substantially more expensive, though.

>>11091109
Some people aren't poor and revolve everything they do around the limitation of finances..

>>11090898
1. Buy family packs of whatever is on sale that week for $1-3/lb
2. Put it in the freezer
3. Wa La

*fails to satisfy your hunger*
Heh, nothin' personal, vegcuck...

>>11091521
Post W-2 or admit you're lying

>>11090898
For fucks sake, that doesn't 'break the budget'...get a job, get a second job, get a better paying job...
This isn't rocket doctory...

Only if you are guiled into paleo,keto, carnivore fad diets.

>>11090970
Show refuse chicken coop you made, lol. My guess is it will look something like homer simpson's birdhouse on a larger scale.

>>11090898
Pork is cheap. So is chicken legs. Not drumsticks, not thighs, but whole, unsplit chicken legs.

>>11090957
Look at this faggot. Look at him and laugh

>>11091857
Chicken quarters are somehow even cheaper than whole chicken. I love it.

>>11091895
and chicken pennies are even cheaper than that

>>11090957
If that happens I will absolutely enjoy the 35 years of meat I consumed.

>>11091109
upset about something?

>>11091898
>chicken pennies
wat

>>11091857
This anon is correct. If you don't incorporate the grease into your primary meal you can save it and improve on a lot of recipes. Also don't be scared of MSG if you're not legitimate allergic. You can use like an 1/8 of a tablespoon and make a big difference in the taste of your food.

>>11090957
Imagine thinking you belong on 4chan while still wanting to live long. Fuck off, newfag. Get out and don't come back.

>>11092033
Chicken quarters > chicken dimes > chicken nickels > chicken pennies

I never said it was a good joke but it's obvious.

>>11090898
How? Steak is only $5/lbs. That's four servings for $1.25/ea.

>>11091109
It's just shitposting akin to the manlet meme.

>>11092062
Who the fuck eats 4 ounces of steak?

>>11092045
>but it's obvious
clearly not

>>11091109
Because it's unacceptable to be so poor that steak from a grocery store or butcher will break your budget. Get a better job or just kill yourself. I live in bum fuck nowhere, where a nice house and a few acres is 90,000 dollars, and I get paid $36,000 a year to work at an auto parts store. There is no excuse to be poor.

>>11092069
People who eat more than just a pound of steak for their dinner.
Add in mixed veggies, potatoes, and/or mac and cheese and that's tons of food.

>>11092075
It is to anyone that doesn't have autism or is capable of thought

>>11092092
It flew over my head but that's pretty funny now that it's been explained. Thought it was misspelled penises. Chicken dimes would be a more obvious joke.

>>11092092
I have autism and I got it no problem.

>>11092085
Even with sides 4oz is one pitiful steak, even most filet mignon is at least 6oz

>>11090898
Chicken is cheap AF mate

>>11091109
Because they barely have the income now to eat anything not microwaveble to shit on you bud

>>11092102
Maybe it's not being autistic enough then that causes the problem.

>>11092062
I'm in a similar boat, cheap cuts of steak are ~$5.50/pound, I buy a 1.0-1.2 pound steak once per week to marinade and do in a pan. Perfectly affordable on a grad school budget.

>>11092103
6oz sirloin is 400 calories in and of itself. Plain mashed potatoes is another 200. Mixed veggies is another ~150. Add soda onto that for probably 150-300 depending on refills.
900 calories in one meal. Unless you only eat 2 meals a day or work out, you're gonna be a fatass.

>>11092134
Are you assuming breakfast and lunch are also 900 calories as well

>>11092134
>unironically being a manlet

>>11092103
>>11092134
Also lets pretend you eat a half steak per meal. That's still only $2.50 per serving. Point is, meat is cheap if you aren't retarded about it.

>>11092134
I only eat two meals a day, and everyone should be working out. Also soda at a restaurant? Cardinal sin. Steaks should typically be 10-14oz. Not an everyday meal to be sure

>>11092138
Phoneposting but here's what I would imagine an average day to be like in three parts.

>>11092196
Forgot the fries originally.

>unironically being a femoid

>>11091898

>bacon and eggs for breakfast
>cheeseburger for lunch
>steak for dinner
>an average day

It seems your imagination is a movie trope

>>11092264
Because we're talking about steak, dipshit. You obviously don't understand hyperbole. Should I have said average meals instead or would be just as retarded still?

>>11091664

>dude post tax documents on 4can lmaoo

>>11092264
Most people eat that and more. Throw in a 2-liter of soda and chips.

>>11090898
and my digestive tract

>>11091109
probably /biz/ leaking, it's the only board with a moderate amount of unironically rich people, and they care about money the same as /pol/ cares about hating brown people

>>11092134
>Eating the trim fat
>Not having your weekly steak be a rear-side NY Strip, tender and lean (for loin/rib cuts)
Shit son, you retarded

>>11092084
Fucking flyover fuck off

>>11092579
The point is that my company is everywhere, and they pay to the standard of living. In new fag city you could easily make $60,000-90,000 doing my job. The only requirements are an ability to learn, show up on time, and have a conversation. I'll disregard your ignorance about how much better the middle of the country is. There is no excuse for being poor.

>>11091703
Alternatively, enjoy your life without needing a second job to eat expensive proteins.
"This isn't rocket doctory..."

>>11092557
>/biz/ has rich people
yeah and /fit/ lifts ;)

fucking hell, 20 canadian pesos for a 1kg roast
how is this shit so expensive

>>11092953
I'm/fit/ and I lift.

>>11092517
Black out the personal info. Lying chickenshit

>>11092134
>drinking soda

>>11090898

The biggest budget breaker I have is bread

Some guy opened this bakery, they contract with local farms to grown specific types of wheat and barley and other grains, transport it less than 20 miles to the bakery, grind it on-site, and make nothing but sourdough using same-day-ground grains baked in a wood-fired oven.

Shit's like $10/loaf but it's fucking crack

>>11094379
Bumping this until you do it or admit defeat

>>11094911
Bump

>>11092710
>i luckily rolled in this easy life, so you can too.
Just shut your mouth, how bout i burn you at the stake so i have some meat and years worth of fat.

>>11095078
Bump

>>11090957
I'm 35 already and only just now beginning to feel the ill effects of eating meat, so there!

>>11095478
Bump!

>>11090898
is that meat on the floor?

>>11091149
for your kids sake, it's better that you don't have money to burn

>>11095639
E N V Y

>>11095141
No, you bitch made faggot. I got a part time job as a stock boy making $8 an hour, worked my ass off, got full time, got a couple raises, continued to prove my worth, transferred to commercial sales, got promoted, a raise, another promotion. Because I got a job and worked hard.

>don't be a mudlsime
>suddenly have access to normal price meat that isn't artifically expensive because some pedophile sang with the butcher

being normal is so good man.

>>11095883
It has not yet been proven that I have anything to envy

>>11091109
It's not that you need to pretend to be rich, it's that it's unfathomable to think 90% of 4chan are so fucking poor they need to consult their budget to see if they can afford a fucking steak.
Honestly it's pathetic seeing how everyone is scrounging for money all the time, like bragging about how cheap the things you buy are.

>>11096014
The anon I originally quoted implied that they had such an income that they did not need to budget for food. I gave them a chance to prove such an income, and they backed down immediately, which already tells me they're full of shit. However, out of the kindness of my heart, I have given them another chance to prove their income, and they have failed to.

>>11096048
>budgeting for food
you wot m8? food is nothing when it comes to budget, unless you purposefully go out of your way to burn it, or you eat out five times a week.
