>premade food
Understandable if not ideal
>premade tea
You should be shot

Whats the tonic for?

>>13461225
>lays
>tomato basil soup
These belong in the garbage
>trublend
Not sure what that is, but if it’s only blueberries, it also belongs in the trash. If it’s yogurt, it’s okay.

You did pretty good OP

>>13461257
I make fresh tea all the time. this is the first time i bought that weird little drink because it looked neat

>>13461281
vodka tonics later

>>13461282
the blueberry yogurt was free, i am looking foreward to it.
deli lays are good fite me

>>13461252

no one here makes food anymore? is it all just fast food posting and youtube shitters?

Everything was $1.00. Turns out the tuna salad is disgusting. Could not get the taste out of my mouth.

>>13461301
Buying prepared yogurt is okay bc making it is pretty gay but
>deli lays are good fite me
I know they taste good, they’re designed that way, but you can easily make personalized potato chips (fried or baked) at home that will be equally tasty (because personalization, you can even bake cheese into them) and will be infinitely better than you (so long as you don’t peel the potato).

I have to get groceries tomorrow. Tell me what to get and what i should make this week.

>>13461326

i like that idea actually anon, any good tips for making chips my first time?

>>13461225
>15 dollar a pound steak
nigga that better be a good steak

>>13461320

prepare for ass cancer later in life my friend.

>>13461352

the steaks from my local grocery store are pretty good. though i always wait for them to get marked down. i aint paying those prices.

>>13461352
$6/pound after a discount. But yes still looks overpriced.

>>13461354
I swear /ck/ gives out more free (worthless) medical advice than webmd

>>13461374

i mean its no mystery that eating processed foods are going to give you a higher likely hood of colon and rectal cancer. im not a medfag but i feel like that ones not debated.

>>13461333
Fucking checked

Not sure how if i can help with thickness without being too specific, so that’s kinda something you have to figure out on your own, but
>preheat oven to 375
>slice potatoes thin, doesn’t matter if their sizes are different, the variety in texture is pleasant if you aren’t a tastelet
>put foil on pan, spray with non-stick spray or brush on light layer of oil
>season all of the potatoes, I use: salt, b+w pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper if you want some kick, and maybe some aromatics like rosemary/oregano if you have any fresh bc dried will just burn
There’s definitely way more combos than that but that’s my go-to seasoning combo
>it is absolutely okay to get it all over the pan
>bake for like 20 minutes or so
>pull out, flip all slices, add Parmesan cheese, preferably not the fake unrefrigerated shit, but it’ll also work
>put back in oven for another 15-20 minutes or so
>eat delicious potato
I’m not too sure on the timings because I usually kinda eyeball it, just try to make sure they don’t get burnt to shit at the end, but you can let them get as crispy as you’d like

>>13461225
How did you spend so much money and got basically nothing?
Also
>choice steak

>>13461387
I should also mention that I usually make mine kinda thick, which is why flipping helps. If you’re making them very thin, the cooking time will very likely be shorter and you probably won’t need to flip them.
If it gets way too stuck to the foil, it’s probably because the chips are really thin and you may need to use a baking sheet instead.

>>13461387

fucking awesome. thanks dude, i never really thought of it but controlling thickness and seasoning actually sounds fun. some fresh grated parm will be a must.

>>13461307
pretty much. the only cooking that goes on here is in those dickered threads and even they get shit on by the fast food fuckers.
all hail ronald mcdonald

>>13461398

I live in a high income part of Colorado. food costs are kinda high. i need to make around 100K just to be lower middle class in my neighborhood

>>13461320

Based ex con diet

>>13461415

i was thinkinmg of doing some cooking posts. got some chicken thighs marinading that i plan to roast later with some potatoes and make croissants. but everyone hates on that dickered guy so i dont know if i feel like it.

>>13461408
I think all cooking is fun, glad I could inspire you m8, adding bits of bacon is also good (but you gotta time it right) and putting fresh chives on top after cooking is 10/10

>>13461439
Do it anyway. The people who bitch are the ones who think “chef” Jack is a world renowned cook. Meanwhile they couldn’t heat up a hotdog.

>>13461562

you're right. People who actually cook should post more, might improve the board a little. I would however be lying if i said I didn't laugh at jack WEBMs from time to time from a purely cringey voyeuristic perspective.

>>13461320

what will you eat from that haul for dinner tonight anon?

>>13461225
In America, milk tea comes in a can?

>>13461619
I got that a while ago. The tuna salad was gross, the stuffing was gross. The chicken and dumplings were ok. Haven't tried the tamales yet.

>>13461634

i guess. I've never had it nor seen that product before. I'm an impulsive buyer at the store so I figured I'd give it a try

>>13461645

well, I suppose I wouldn't expect dollar store food to be exceptional

>>13461634

how do you buy it? or is it something you always make yourself?

>>13461320

does the fucking egglette thing work? the name is fucking hilarious

>>13461225
only one lime?

Where are the potato chips?

>>13462033

I'll only use a slice or three tonight drinking vodka tonics. So it'll last until Tuesday when it will be time to go to the store again.

>>13462036

The ones in the picture? In the pantry currently. I probably wont eat any until I make a tuna melt or something. I'm situational with chips.

>>13461419
Boulder county?
Food prices are ridiculous, especially seafood

>>13461225

>>13462194

Yeah Louisville to be precise. Still boulder county but lots of new money here. Used to be semi affordable.

>>13462219

Hello dicker3d bro

>>13461419
>I live in a high income part of Colorado. food costs are kinda high.

no they're not. food and energy are the only cheap things in Colorado.

> t. Golden

>>13462194
>>13462233

wait...Boulder even makes food more expensive? Louisville, ya'll need to join Broomfield or Adams Co.

>>13462251

I was born and grew up in broomfield. I just moved to louisville in August. Sometimes I still drive up to broomfield king soopers because certain things are cheaper.

>>13462242

Compared to most states in the rest of the country our food costs are high. 50 bucks in a king soopers would get you a lot more in a crappier state like nebraska or Kansas.

>>13462265
>Compared to most states in the rest of the country our food costs are high.

they really aren't, I just got back from North Carolina, shit was a lot more expensive.

Krogers (King Soopers) has really raised their prices in recent years though.

>>13462293

they have. perhaps I just assumed it was mostly here. quite a few things have become hard to justifu cost wise. Beef most of all, though i realize that isn't unique to Colorado. It really feels like 100 bucks hardly buys shit here anymore though.

>>13462219
get that FILTHY poo poo cat off the countertop YUCK

>>13462341
price-wise:
Sprouts is good for produce and meat.

Costco is good for everything.

Safeway is good for sale stuff.

Pic related is when cost is no object.

>>13461225
Not bad, I could do a lot of fun recipes with that haul, I think. I hope you enjoy your food bud.

>>13462383

i live alone so i could no longet justify a costco membership. but i did love it when i lived with my girlfriend. where the hell is a tonys market? ive lived in Colorado for 29 years and I've never heard of this.

>>13462406

Thanks. I really only went for the lemon, rosemary, garlic and brussel sprouts. The rest was kindof impulse shit for tomorrow. Gonna make a steak with potatoes, Brussels with balsamic reduction and a nice pan gravy tomorrow.

>>13462416
>where the hell is a tonys market?

here you are my fren:

https://tonysmarket.com/

>>13462462

that place seems awesome. looks like really great quality goods. im in Louisville so the closest one being near Engelwood kinda sucks, but it seems worth checking out next time i want to make something special. or for ingredients that might be hard to find at a typical king soopers. thanks for the tip.

>ready meals are garbage known to cause cancer and diseases
>happily buy ready meals cause "muh cheap"
never change muricans

>>13462724

Some people dont know how to make dencent food on a budget. Not everyone knows how to buy raw beans and rice and chicken and cheap produce to eat well with limited income. Give suggestions rather than talk shit,

>>13461382
Correct, this stuff is even backed by SciShow (hank green)

>>13461225
>buying pre-cut herbs
But why?

A living herb plant costs about the same, and it can provide you fresh herbs forever if you give it a comfy windowsill to live in and a little water now and then.

Imagine being this brain dead. But please keep giving out quack medical advice you hopeless Downy retards

>>13461716
They work fine

>>13462033
That's what I was thinking. He should've gotten at least 7 for a balanced diet.

>>13462810

I totally want to start a fresh herb garden of basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme and mint. But I moved to the place I'm at currently in a bit of a hurry. This is one of my major goals soon. But for now, I'm paying stupid prices for small amounts of herbs. Such is life.

>>13461225
congratulations you bought enough food to last for about a day

>>13461225
Stupid American/10
Did you just buy random shit?

>>13463045
>>13463064

Lol actually yeah, that was just a few things for dinner tonight plus some things I grabbed just for fun, I'll be back at the store on monday or Tuesday for more, because I like it. Stay mad poorfags.

I bought some pastrami from the deli five days ago, but don't know any good way to prepare and eat it. Yes, I'm autistic.

>>13463275

I like making a over easy egg and putting it on some toasted rye bread with pastrami and some red onion and dijon mustard. Delicious sandwich. Try that friend.

>>13461225
Organic is a meme and so are brand names, could save a bit by getting something that doesn't spend more on advertising than products.

>>13463377

With certain products I agree with you. I appreciate good bread and hate the typical American loaves of shit bread. I'll spend a few extra bucks on that tomato soup vs something from a can. I'm not an "organic or nothing" person. But there are certain items where I feel a bit of extra money is worth it.

how do you expect to feed a whole family with only one lime?

>>13461645
I remember that thread. How do you like the Egglettes?

>>13462219

>>13462219
patty a qt

All this came to about ~$35, but it was relatively small compared to my usual hauls which are typically for longer periods of time. The whiting and the peppers are new editions, hopefully good

>>13461225
Kind of an odd mix, I think, but at least you're trying
>>13461320
Nasty for you, but delicious. Pretty good haul considering the price
>>13462219

>>13461225
What made it 37$? I think you paid too much actually, but then I only buy on sale items.

Hard to see the total I guess, but I got all this quality food for 48$.

>King Soopers meat label
I bet you live in one of those rental bungalows off of Table Mesa, I recognize that fucking stove and those ugly cabinets

But enough with the doxxing, you're shopping at one of the only affordable places around and their meat department is better than anywhere else in driving distance. The Californians go to the Trader Joes on 28th Street and the insanely rich go to Alfalfa's

Need more data on Natural Grocers and Sprouts but their ads aren't very appealing

>>13464383

I own a townhome in louisville. But good try. I regularly go to sprouts for produce and other shit. I like everything about sprouts except for their meat dept.

>>13461225
your choices are this bad

>>13465442

Well played

>>13461634
it's a japanese thing, you find those things everywhere over there, vending machines included. sangria is a japanese brand too
I've also only ever seen those cans in OP's pic at asian grocery stores here in the states, which makes me think he went to one but idk

>>13461225
looks good, but seems expensive. in england that would probably cost around £15
