/ck/ - Food & Cooking

If I had a sister we'd either have kids by now or my family wouldn't be speaking to me.

The most important thing is that you learn to cook. Learning to cook saves lots of money.

>>12272821
Poor people are usually poor because they make bad decisions with money. Giving them money solves the problem for a few days then they're right back where they started. My sister is the same way. Divorced, 2 kids, works part time and is broke all the time. Still has money for energy drinks and cigarettes though.

>>12272840
When I see a poor person I know they must have sinned because God rewards the good and punishes the wicked.

>>12272837
>If I had a sister we'd either have kids by now or my family wouldn't be speaking to me.

What? Are you trying to say you'd be having kids with your sister or you'd get disowned?

>>12272821
That's how I feel as well with my sister who prefers fast over cooking. Claims to not like to take the time to prep and clean. Which makes me wonder if she actually likes the taste of fast food or the convenience of it? Either way I gave up on fast food since it's kind of a waste of money. Cocktails/alcohol as well feels like a waste. Would rather go to a nice liquor store with a selection and drink that way instead.

>>12272855
hes saying that he would attempt to fug his sister, and it would either succeed or she would fuck off and not talk to him

>>12272821
Yeah but you don't go out for the food/drinks, you go out to get laid.
Or, if it's eating with friends, what's the alternative - inviting them all?

>>12272854
I'm not rich, but a lot of the poor people at my work make enough money to not be poor. They just piss their money away on random shit. One dude got kicked out of his rent house for being behind on payments but he'd just dropped 5Gs on a vacation prior to getting kicked out. Another dude complained about all his bills and not having any cash then turned around and bought a brand new Harley to drive back and forth to work on.

There's not much helping people like this.

my roomate drinks 3 40z beers and smokes a pack of cigs a day. He makes more money than all of the other roomates combined and he has to borrow money everyweek to pay his bills

Are you guys intentionally being retarded?

>>12272895

>>12272899
It's an old /ck/ meme that was intentionally made to be bad.

>>12272895

>>12272904
>>12272953
Oregon no sales tax either

>>12272964
Are there any non-faggy areas in Oregon?

>>12272821
I very rarely find chicken breast for $0.99 a pound, at least not without bones and skin

>>12272972

>>12272821
I know this feel, but you forgot the part about feeling empty and depressed because you spent the weekend alone while everyone you know was out together having fun and forming bonds of which you will never be a part
haha

>>12272821
I had an ex who was terrible with spending money on dumb shit when she was bored.
She has a kid, she spent 100 dollars on a 1 year olds halloween costume.
She lives with her mother now who lives with her mother. 4 generations living in a shit house on some farm, and they can't seem to pull any money together despite all the government gibs.

>>12272895
That's pumped full of water and antibiotics.

>>12273028
It's been an hour

>>12272821
Fuck I want some KFC now

>>12272821
I bet people think you're cooler than her too......

lol, life just isn't fair is it?

>>12272821

I live in an incredibly cheap state and the cheapest breast here are 1.99/lb. No way you're getting decent chicken breasts for under a buck a pound. And you're damn sure not getting a gallon of any kind of milk for less than 3.25

>>12273091
nah books are way better

>>12273237

Go to aldi. Chicken is 1.89/lb, eggs. 72/dozen, and milk is less than $2 with tax.

>>12272888
Nice trips. How does it happen though what does he spend on? Beer and cigs aren’t that ridiculously steep right?

>>12272895
bullshit. Are you in Arkansas or what

>>12273237
the pic is at least 5 years old, hence why the prices are all wrong

>>12272821
I too am a jew OP

I live in New Hampshire and chicken breast is at least five bucks a pound. Your photo is bullshit.

>>12273237
I get a gallon of skim for $1.80, leave California

>>12273461
It's far cheaper here in Flyover, Indiana. Ten dollars will get you 6 pounds of chicken breasts. Six - seven dollars will get you a whole chicken. If you buy the shitty, frozen chicken breasts, it's even cheaper.

>>12273221
still at work give me a few hours

>>12273388
$8 in cigs every day and 12$ in beer almost $600 a month for just those. He also eats fast food 3 times a day

>Wah wah I don't like how other people spend their money.
Lmao, kys op. Just because you're a boring shut-in doesn't mean shit's the same for everyone else.

>>12273491
>fast food three times a day
Damn that must add up with the cigs and booze. Maybe like $15 on food a day? So $1050 just on these items. Now I gotta evaluate how I spend my money

>>12273514
Evaluate everything with 10 day blocks its much easier

>>12272821
Your sister is the superior one for enjoying life. Remember that. Saving money doesn’t matter when you could be having fun

>>12273187
So is the 9.99 a pound chicken breast anon. Business aren’t going to respect you because you pay more.

>>12272899
an obese fast food addict made that image to defend their money-wasting habits

>>12272857
Did he died?

Based and thrifty OP. I spend the weekend on my kayak spearing fish and then come home to my garden. A glass or two on bourbon at the end of the day and an old movie to watch is much preferable to going out.

>>12272821
When did this site became so dominated and accepting of literal stereotypical incels?
Of course you're gonna save more money if you stay at home the whole weekend by yourself in your room playing video games and watching a movie(several times within the 48 hour time lease period) than if you went out and had human contact and a good time at a bar
my God I don't know why I'm on this shitty fucking site after all this time responding to fucking autists, I should go back to ledddit newfriends amirite fuck le normies only NPCs leave the house

>>12273187
so is the shit you get at the fast food joints and restaurants.
it all comes through the same system of production. commercial grade stuff even more so. Bid-niz wants that long shelf life.

>>12273461
>I live in New Hampshire
sounds like that's your problem anon.
you made bad choices in life.

>>12272998
>even eugene
You've never been to Eugene.

Boneless chicken tits are $1.99/lb here.
I don't buy skim, but whole is $3.49/gal.
I don't but 96% lean ground beef, but 80% is $1.99/lb (it's even cheaper the last week of June because Independence Day).
I don't buy fat free yogurt, but whole fat is $2.99/quart.
I don't buy oats in such a small quantity, but a 42oz canister is $2.29.
Kidney beans are $1.49/2lbs in my area.
Potato, corn, peaches and frozen peas are priced accurately for around here.

Total cost for me to buy something like that shopping list: $24.24. There's no tax on groceries here.

The KFC 8 piece meal would cost $23.75, tax included.

However! I'm not against going out to eat/drink/etc from time to time. I went out today after work, for example. Yes, I know that I could have gotten the same beers at the store and paid far less than the $30 I paid for the two I had plus the plate of pickles I had with them plus the tax and the tip, but if $30 or even $100 would break the bank for you, either grow up and finish uni so you can get yourself a big boy job or ask yourself what poor life choices lead you to think of $100 as a lot of money.

Really, though, I need to get a thriftier group of friends who wouldn't mind rotating drinks/meals at each others' places rather than always going to the bars. I've aged into curmudgeon status ahead of the rest of the group, so I don't really like going to bars anymore. They're too loud for my old, curmudgeon-y ass. I would rather have a relaxing time with mis amigos at home than pay for the privilege of straining to hear at the bar.

>>12272821
yeah last night. I thought about heading to the local meme priced grocery store getting a few things then some kebab or chicken from the shop next door, but ended up going to the aldi shop further way and got a lot more stuff for cheaper.

see but the issue with this image is that i have 40$
kaching!

fuck food in america is so cheap how is it possible..

i spend like 450/mo on food here (switzerland) i want cheap chlorine chicken.. trying to get enough protons is expensive here

>>12275213
It's fucking gross dude, in Switzerland you have a food mafia that squabbles over what styles of ultra high quality artisanal cheese can be produced. In America we have a food mafia that kills you if you film undercover footage of factory workers defecating on live chickens.

Beans, eggs, and dairy products are a thing; meat protein is not necessary and should be reserved for special occasions.

>>12275213
Lax regulation. In Canuckland chicken must be raised without any use of antibiotics while there is no such thing in USA.
That's why you can get 100 chicken nuggets for 7 dollars or something while we can only get 6 for the same price

>>12272821
>32 oz yoplait yogurt
>2.27
that is literally 4.99 where i live

>>12272821
I stay extra frugal by not drinking, not having a social life, nicking 2/3rds of my meals from work and pirating everything I consume.

Life is cheaper with no friends. Hell, I'd hardly say mine is worth anything at all.

>>12275690
well I mean here in Ireland regulations are pretty tight yet we manage to get cheap, good quality food. not as cheap as USA but getting there, also the food is a whole lot better for what you pay.
