aside from the coconut milk cant see how thats 42 buckaroos (Still the Strongest currency on the planet btw)

Have you made anything with these beans yet?

where in the fuck do you spend 42 dollars for that? alaska?
either that or you paid 15 dollars for coconut milk

>>20057884
>where in the fuck do you spend 42 dollars for that? alaska?
Considering that he's buying canned cod livers shipped from russia, yeah

whole foods shopper moment

>>20057859
All food is expensive now, I bet the average person spends ~$5000/person/year on food alone
Bulk beans/rice/eggs/milk are more than enough to survive but it still isn't cheap like it was in the 2000s

>>20057871
Not yet, I literally just bought them. I’ve been making mayocabo beans a lot recently, been doing them up like you would the urad dal in a dal makahni-type dish, also been doing a lot of chickpea/cannellini beans as a braised bean in sage and rosemary with bread as filler.
Most served on cornbread or rice.
Cod liver was my splurge because it’s something nice on rice.
>>20057864
Right? It was the only coconut milk on the shelf without guar gum and I don’t really think a stabilizer is needed in coconut milk.

>>20057897
Buy beans from the bulk section not the little bags

>>20057859
That's like a month's worth of beans.
Where is your bulk masoor dal?
Bulk toor dal?
One 10kg bag of masoor dal will be cheaper and more food than all those little bags

>>20057918
Urad dal is unfortunately the best of all the dal.

>>20057890
>>20057889
It wasn’t Whole Foods. I wouldn’t be annoyed if this was my total from shopping there, but this is an average ass grocery store.

>>20057859
why are you buying small bags like you're buying bulk? of course you're going to miss out on savings you complete dingus!

>>20057859
>oh no I spent $35 on imported russian cod livers and organic coconut milk why is life so unfair
you did this to yourself, faggot.

>>20057977
>>20057975
>$2.59 for cod
>$3.39 for coconut oil without added garbage

>>20057975
I’d buy bigger bags if the stores had them

>16 pounds of dry beans
Enjoy your 6 gallons of rehydrated beans. How long were you planning to take to go through all that? If you ate 1 cup of rehydrated beans per meal, that's 96 meals. That's pretty good. Hope you enjoy your beans, anon.

>>20058233
Bruh those breans are only enough for 3 days.

>>20058246
You eat over 5lb of dried beans per day? Maybe consider hitting up a restaurant supply store like a US Foods and buy 50lb bags at a time.

>>20058233
>a heaping 1/2 cup

>>20058258

I can't read that word without thinking of mayonnaise and a limp, glossy hand now thanks to this board.

I'd like to know why they were so cheap at the end of '22...

oh boy another russian shill crying about america

>>20057897
Maybe you’re just retarded and should start shopping at Aldi or whatever

>>20059036
Literally a pic of my receipt, this is middle America, >>20057914 you deserve what’s coming for you.
>>20059260
I was shopping at Aldi almost exclusively for awhile during the darkest bits of my depression, now that I’m actually cooking for myself again I find them to be of little use because most of their food, at least where I’m at, is highly processed, heat and eat stuffs, and everything else was either super limited or of such poor quality, desu

>>20057859
foodbank cant give away enough of that shit. go there once and ask everyone for their dry beans. if only 1/4 of the people gave you theres you would still end up with a lifetime supply.
fresh produce, though, is entirely dependant on whether your foodbank sucks or not.

>>20059283
I’m genuinely considering going to a food bank. My rent takes up an entire check, regular life expenses take up half of another, the rest goes towards food currently and I have cut back on literally everything else in my life so I don’t starve.

>>20057859
Okay, so you spent $42, but how many meals will you get out of that?

>>20059288
So go
They want you to take their shit
They have too much shit, take some

>>20059292
I’ve never been and it feels weird, but it’s gotten to a bad point and I think I have to. I’ll probably go this month.

>>20059289
I need to account for rice, cornbread, chicken, and frozen vegetables, but add another $40 to that and I think I could barely stretch out a month’s worth of food. And this is bare minimum

>>20059292
I want to go, but I drive a Tesla and I can't properly blend in as a poorfag

>>20059321
They legit don't care, they don't want to trash the food
My aunt is a rich retired Boeing engineer and she both volunteers at, and almost exclusively eats from, a food bank

>>20057859
>>20059289
>>20059310
Here, I did the math on how long JUST THE BEANS will last for you and what the final per meal and per day costs will be:

1 cup (200g) of those mayocoba beans is 680 calories and 28g of protein. If you're eating 3 meals in a day this could easily be one meal on its own. 200g of any of the beans will have about that many calories and about that much protein with some small variation. Let's assume you just eat 200g of cooked beans with nothing else for the sake of this exercise every meal:

3628g of mayocoba beans @ 200g per meal = 18.14 meals
908g of chick peas @ 200g per meal = 4.54 meals
1800g of whole matpe beans @ 200g per meal = 9 meals
454g of lentils @ 200g per meal = 2.27 meals
454g of baby lima beans @ 200g per meal = 2.27 meals
TOTAL MEALS = 36.22
$42 over 36.22 meals = $1.16 per meal times 3 meals = $3.48 per day

And I didn't even account for using the coconut milk, cod livers, or onions. Use those things in your meals to boost nutrition and make your meals heartier and better tasting and the price per meal only goes down from there. So yes, you had to put down $42 up front, but it will last 2 weeks at 3 meals per day and work out to less than $3.50 per day. And some things you don't have to rebuy every time, like those onions and livers that will certainly last longer than the beans acting as your staple. It would also be inexpensive to add rice into the mix to make your meals even better and more filling and stretch the food even further.

>>20057859
>>20057864
>>20057884
36.42 on walmart.com using Walmart brand for everything possible
Didnt see 4lb bags of the mayocoba tho, had to buy 8 1lb bags, that would have knocked another $1-2 off

>>20059355
>3 weeks of beans, 3 meals a day... That's 21 days straight eating 63 meals of nothing but beans and some coconut milk for spice
Imagine the smell

I spent $20 on 4 pints of ice cream, 4 drinks, and a pack of ice cream sandwiches today for the family. I was expecting it to be more but Hagen Daas was on sale.

>>20059321
Just go in and act humble. If you give off an air of not wanting to take from a food bank they won't see you as some predator. If they ask questions just be honest that money's tight and food is too expensive next to your other bills.

I like fish but never had cod livers. Do you eat them like any other tinned fish?

>>20057979
Why are you buying weird exotic fancy beans instead of regular cheap pinto beans?

>>20058246
>>20058353

These mfs bean maxxing

>>20059321
they dont care. There are a million reasons why a person driving a Tesla suddenly needs to use a foodbank.

>>20057859
That's a pretty decent haul, food is just twice as expensive as it was a few years ago.

>>20059281
>Aldi
Maybe it's different where you are, but in my area, staples like beans, rice, pasta, etc. and some produce is as good or better than in normal grocery stores. In fact, it's the highly processed junk that tends to be of lower quality at Aldi.

>>20059403
SCOOPS

>>20057859
That cost you $20 tops. Coconut milk 3 dollars a can. Onions 3 dollars a pound. Suck a fart out of my ass.

>>20057859
Thats going to last you months. I just made 2 lbs of lentils and froze half

>>20058027
I've never paid to have a garbanzo bean in my mouth.

Yeah I don’t believe you. Post the receipt.

grow your own beans that's what I do

>>20057859
42 bucks for like 15 pounds of beans is pretty good, especially since a single person only needs about 4oz of dried beans per meal (weight approximately doubles with cooking). So, you've got about 60 meals worth of beans right there costing only seventy cents per meal portion.

>>20057859
well sonny, the fault is inflation caused by the Demonrat infestation (no, I BiDON't), if we had based Reucklicans we could slash social services and provide tax loopholes to the wealthy to lower store prices whilst still funding Israeli genocide and Ukrainian MIC laundering, we wouldn't be in this debacle. Those senators need returns in their portfolios, you know?

>>20060137
we need the social services for the ten million illegals idiot

>>20057859
This was absolutely not 42 fucking dollars.

Just buy bulk next time.

>>20060146
>at least 2.5 million crossed in 2023 alone
It's far more than 10 million, anon. Why do you think the beans are so expensive now?

>>20059414

Where are your papers, Gringo?

>>20057859
are there any good books that are just bean recipes?

>>20057914
If you're paying three and a half bucks for a can of coconutmilk I don't want to see you blaming the beans for your shitty budget.

>>20060329
>buys the fancy stuff instead of staples
>complains about price
Pick one faggot.
A bean is a bean. Nutritionally there's no difference
Indians eat the obscure beans you're buying not because they're fancy, it's because they're the cheapest and most common beans to grow where they're living. You should do the same.

>>20060397

>>20060939
>>20061008
You're shopping at the wrong places. Warehouse clubs, restaurant supply stores, ethnic markets, and the intarwebs still have plenty of bulk options.

>>20060847
37 american doras

Here's the trick guys. Stop going to your regular ass grocery store's like Albertson's, Vonn's etc. Or at least limit what you get there. Never go to sprouts or whole foods. All of the above have white tax to varying degrees with whole foods and sprouts being the worst.
Go to your local asian groceries or mexican supermercados (Indian grocery stores aren't that cheap imo but still better than normie grocery stores). Meat is way cheaper as is the produce. Everything other than the one aisle of american brands has cheaper stuff than anywhere in your local grocery store. I get ribeye in SoCal for $8 a pound. It's $17 a pound at the Vonn's across the street. Seafood is generally cheaper except for crab. For some reason it's flipped and its more expensive at asian stores.

>>20057859
Maybe don't buy organic coconut milk and canned cod liver.

>>20059321
I drive passed a food bank thing regularly. Most of the cars are brand new in line. Poor people are poor because they make bad financial decisions like that. You'll fit right in

>>20061090
That's not what we mean by bulk. Pic related is dead and never coming back thanks to paranoid retards.

>>20061207
So, just to add to this, let's say you have $42 for the week. Buy bone in chicken thighs maybe 5lb and they'll be very cheap (~1.50 a lb) but let's call it $10 for the chicken to be conservative.
(On alternate weeks you can swap the chicken for a cheap cut of something else. Pork shoulder or round/chuck/bottom for beef).
Get some rice. Maybe $15 for a cheap bag but it will last you for months.
Gets some veggies. Onions, bell peppers, garlic, ginger. $15.
That's $40ish. If you can spring for some basic premade teriyaki sauce bottle, soy, or any of the many others out there you can make many variations of stir frys for cheap.
In general tough, always keep onions, potatoes, rice and beans in your house. They have a long shelf life, are cheap, and are used in an insane amount of dishes.

>>20061049
Amazon sells bulk beans from a supposedly American farm, but if you read the reviews (the REAL reviews, sort by "most recent" instead of the shill "top reviews") then you'll see people complaining about weird chemical smells from the burlap bags, so I dunno...

>>20061256
Ah, my mistake, but when I'm buying bulk, I'm usually buying more than one of those entire hoppers holds. That's cuck-bulk.

>>20059984
I can get produce cheap at aldis but everything else I have to go to a normal grocery store to get.

>>20057859
anyone got advice on sardines? I cant find any reasonably priced brands "below a $1.50" that come in olive oil so is sunflower oil a decent alternative or should I just suck it up and deal with in water / mustard sauce tins? Its just on principle I dont want to pay over a buck for a tin of sardines.

>>20061265
>>20061256
Tbh it's nice to be able to sample a small quantity before buying 20lbs of something that turns out to be shit. But frankly I'm with the "paranoid retards" on this one, people are disgusting.

>>20061292
Ive witness this at a buffet when I was younger and I will NEVER fucking go to a buffet again or ever touch open tray food like that ever again.

>>20057914
You bought like 20lbs of beans.
What do you expect it to cost?

>>20058008
Gotta chart out my gourd futures every Thanksgiving so I can afford to make pie.

>>20061271
Costco currently has "Season" brand deenz in olive oil on sale, $7.99 for a six pack ($1.33 per can), limited to 10 packs per customer. That might be your best bet (assuming you are already a Valued Member).

>>20059390
Honestly that is suicide fuel.

>>20061320
ill give them a try then

>>20061049
>can't afford normal prices
>can't buy bulk irl
>can't order buy online
trump really destroyed the american dream huh?

>>20061339
Be advised, the national ad just says "$3 off" so your warehouse could be more expensive if they have a higher base price. I like both Season and Wild Planet (also at Costco, also in olive oil) so watch for sales on either.

>>20061252
I’m not gonna buy coconut milk with guar gum, coconut milk does not need guar gum, it’s fucking coconut milk

>>20061329
Beans are pretty good friendo, that’s why I got a variety of them so I’m not just eating 20lbs of gross pinto beans

>>20057859
>this was $42.

>>20061320
>skinless

god damn you costco

>>20061480
Just get the Wild Planet ones, they have skin I think. I like both. The bigger issue is finding canned salmon with the nice crunchy vertebrae.

>>20061392
Yeah, beans & rice can take you a long way especially if you saucemax/spicemax. People talk a lot of shit (heh) about Indians here but I'd be getting deep (heh) into that based desi curry lore.

>>20057889

dog 42 dollars for all that shit is fine, i didn't realize that's 16lbs of beans and 3lbs of onions. that's enough calories to feed you for a fucking month, i spent a goddamn 116 dollars and all i got was a half gallon of milk, 24 eggs, 12oz bag of coffee, a loaf of bread and the ingredients needed for a pot of chili that makes 12 servings. you got nothing to complain about, maybe get a 5lb bag of rice for ~8$ and round out your meals.

>>20057859
This mofaka buyin espensive beenz.
You saved money on the lentils... did you not check the price of the Peruvian gold beans?

>>20062220
They are worth their weight in gold. I tried them recently and I’m hooked, and they’re hard as fuck for me to find so I’ll be a paypig to these Peruvian farmers.

>>20062175
It’s not bad, but it’s just beans, i used to feed myself and my ex in college for <$120 a month. If I bought the amount of fresh veggies like I did then I’d be tanking $200 min on just myself.

>>20062294
It's actually not that much for 4lbs of something that absorbs 4x its weight in water either... or much more per pound than the lentils.
I've been doing a lot of rice, beenz, greenz and canned tomato lately (at least as filler). Food prices went fucking nuts here.

>>20062315
Are you me and I’m just schizo posting from another ip?
I’m trying to min max my diet so I hit my nutrition goals for working out while spending as little as I can and I’m (happily because beans are fucking awesome tasting) reduced to those staples.
I mix in a lot of frozen veg because it seems to hit those low price quotas.
But dawg, I used to cook a lot, everything from scratch, but now I grimace at the cost of nearly everything in the grocery store besides my bare essentials.
I used to be able to pick up a 50lb bag of flour for $12 and it’s more than doubled in the past two years and almost $30. Some bullshit.

>>20062391
Possibly. Do you factor in packaging into your shit, and forget to explain that's why your math doesn't line up too?

certain foods like beans and rice and potatoes are god damn near free. youre mostly just paying for the shipping and handling and as fuel prices go up, shipping and handling of that volume/weight goes up.
but fuel prices seem consistant with inflation so maybe these products are now good baseline indicators of inflation

>>20062391
I love spazzing out on this stuff.
Here in Australia (Costco prices)
Red lentils are $2 per kilogram when buying in bulk.
52 kg of red lentils = $104
If you ate lentils three meals per day, you would use around 100 grams of lentils.
So 700 grams per week, but lets make it even 1kg. Some days you eat more.
100 grams dried red lentils equals = 300 grams cooked lentils
100 gram serving of cooked lentils = 230 calories, 17g protein
Per day: $0.30
Per meal: $0.10

1 cup serving white rice = 120 calories, 4 grams protein.
Same with the lentils, 100 grams dry rice per day, makes 3 servings cooked.
White rice is also $2 per kg in bulk
52 kg = $104
Per day: $0.30
Per meal: $0.10

So that's $208 for food for an entire year.
Of course you would need to eat more than just rice and lentils.
But as the baseline of your diet, you could get three meals a day, 1500 calories, 63 grams of protein, for under 60 cents per day.
Grab a case of eggs per week ($5), cheap vegetables and some kinda sauce ($5), maybe a whole chicken ($5).
You'd be eating great for under $20 a week.

>>20057859
Elections have consequences.

>>20062537
It’d be nice if we could blame it on something so simple as that.
But in reality it’s c-suite suits deciding to cut costs at every corner while continually raising prices due to ongoing “supply chain issues” which in reality is just greedy fucks raising prices so their stocks continue to hit record highs.
I wonder how long they think they can bleed dry the populous before they’re dragged from their homes and forced to be more humane in Minecraft

>spends $40 in fuel to save $2

>>20057859
Your right OP. Beans aren't cheap. Guess you're going to have to go back to eating lobster and fillet Mignon.

Why is there a conspicuous absence of legumes in American's diets? Not even just talking about fat average slop addicts. But even the fitness obsessed, instagram people who love showing off their healthy diets almost never have any beans. It's always bright vegetables, expensive nuts, and salmon or chicken breast, etc. Strange for a food that is considered the most important predictor of longevity doesn't catch on with people always talking about what to eat for fitness and health.

>>20061256
Paranoia isn't what killed these, it's purely socioeconomic factors.
Same with every other quickly-disappearing modern convenience.

>>20062973
He posted a receipt, it IS $42, but it's also SIXTEEN POUNDS of beans, PLUS the cod liver, coconut milk, and onions. At 3 meals a day it's 2 weeks worth of food at $1.16 per meal. OP is just a typical retard who looks at a $42 price tag and thinks, "I could get McDonald's for $5, this is such a rip-off!" without considering that $5 at McDonald's is a single meal and the $42 grocery haul is 36 meals (which would be $180 at McDonald's assuming $5 per meal).

I got that same bag of Costco/Kirkland rice in your image, and it was full of some of the driest, most damaged rice grains I have ever seen. The rice needs to be rinsed 10x to get the water to run remotely clear, and it still doesn't really cook up evenly or cleanly. Do yourself a favor, and get literally any other brand.

>>20064021
beans are delicious but I would never eat or make my own. i believe the fud. subjectively, I do not feel bad or well after eating them, they're very neutral, cheap and filling.

i do eat them as a side when a restaurant serves it to me

>Buy bone in chicken thighs maybe 5lb and they'll be very cheap (~1.50 a lb) but let's call it $10 for the chicken to be conservative.
Costco sells a whole rotisserie chicken for $5. Yesterday I bought a box of eight leg-and-thigh things cut off their rotiss chix and it was also $5. Those are enough for, I dunno, four days of meals I guess, just for $5 plus whatever tax was.

I live in shithole Illinois so it was probably 10% tax, but maybe Pigster extended his "no tax on groceries" thing, but then again maybe rotiss doesn't count as groceries because premade. Seriously fuck Pigster, he's a piece of shit.

Onions were $4.49 for a pretty decent sized bag, probably five pounds, I dunno. I bought two of those last year and they lasted me five months each.

Green bell peppers are currently 88 cents each at Wal-Mart.

Restaurant supply stores are the best place to buy the really cheap staples like rice and beans. You can live off that shit when you're poor, as I am. I don't exactly relish the monotony of eating them day in and day out, but I've compensated somewhat by learning to make sauces from scratch and getting creative with the cheapest meat and vegetables I can find at bulk grocers.

The big upside is that I look and feel better now - eating what is essentially Mexican peasant food - than when I had money to throw away on dining out all the time.

They’re okay prices, I was more shocked that a bag full of basically just beans would cost so much.

there is no sales tax on anything in Oregon. food or otherwise

Sales tax varies by state. Some exempt groceries, some have a state tax, some only allow local taxes.

>>20066416
>>20066419
Okay, I just looked it up. Only 12 states in the union levy sales tax on groceries and all but one do so at a significantly reduced rate compared to normal sales tax. By far the majority is not applying sales tax on groceries and I don't feel bad for being unaware of a handful of weird states taxing (unprepared) food/groceries.

>>20066396
>you have to be 18 or older to post here
It actually is tax free is you are on food stamps, because you aren't paying taxes and you get the food for free.

it's bro science, anti nutrients like phytic acid and lectins. but most of them can be deactivated by fermenting soaking or sprouting.

of course i soaked mine overnight and double cooked them when i used to make them. not going to bother sprouting.

plus possibly estrogenic at low doses but possibly antiestrogenic at high doses.

i had an impression of legume eating cultures being soft and doughy (indian men and women, mexicans) but then again colombians are very masculine and they eat a lot of beenz. so my verdict is i will eat them if they're served to me but im not going to go out of my way to include it in my diet


my verdict

>>20066429
>Only 12 states
hmm, I think it must be common in states that don't charge tax on groceries for the city or county to add that tax. Every time I leave home I'm paying taxes on everything, including unprepared food..

>he bought name brand beans instead of store brand beans
OOF. The good news is that between just the 16 pounds of beans and lentils you've got about 24,000 calories of food there. Ignoring the coconut milk, onions, and cod liver, that's 10 days of food at 2,400 calories a day. $42/10 = $4.20 a day.

>>20057859
Do you realise how many meals are there? These are beans for months

Agreed. I would just buy bacon for that price. Even in the pnw you can get a rasher of it for like 12 dollars. At 3.5 packages of it you're close to ops budget. The amount of kcal and nutrition is superior to beans.

Good advice. I'd add that what you might think of as "white trash" markets (Wal-mart, Winco) can work just as well as ethnic markets. Middle-class and upscale grocery stores gouge the fuck out of you with no justification.

>>20066108
I've started making a game out of shopping with a strict budget and a calculator; start with the amount allotted to that trip and subtract the price of every item in the cart.

food priced have gone up like 50% since covid some things doubling which is wild considering fuel prices have been range bound since 2008 and thats real the only thing that should effect food prices THAT much

>>20073035
The answer is "price gouging." Companies like Sysco, McLane, Gordon and so on see their costs rising 10-15% so they hike prices 50%. You have never heard of these companies. You just pay the price and blame the bugman of choice - juice, immigrants, """plandemic""", the vax, """liberals""" while CEOs get record bonuses and stock holders get record dividends.

>>20073053
there a lot of factors

>>20073053
if sysco was price gouging, wouldnt they be profiting?
can we just be honest and admit that if inflation is the cause of higher prices then it hurts the democrats chances in 11 months?

Dude, read the fucking image you posted. "misses profit estimates" means "we didn't make as much profit as we thought we would" which still means they made large and growing profits. Otherwise the head line would be about "shrinking profits" or "missed sales estimates."

There's probably also some creative accounting or expansion expenses or something being hidden under the guise of "missed estimates"

Indefinitely. People have been fully divided by race, class, and sexuality, EXACTLY according to plan. All you get now is bitching and moaning online, where it doesn't matter. OWS was replaced with BLM shit. The prices won't change. The only thing that will is local and state governments will install fascism when the people turn to theft to survive, and sponsor the theft with tax payer dollars. It will only stop when the tax base is eclipsed by gimmedat recipients, or exactly the point where everyone on the bottom is 100% dry and there is no one left to drain. Then the commie wannabies will finally have their dream realized as communism takes hold and they are forced into Russia-style bread lines while the state assesses their social credit for how good they stand in line.

Voting does matter, you select either:
A) keep fucking everything up
B) keep the status quo

And people selected to keep fucking everything up last election cycle. There is no "make things better" option, there hasn't been since the 1900s.

Stop being a lazy faggot. Buy a bunch of beans and make your own mix, if you really have to. They'll last you for months. Also, all beans are not the same. They have different flavors and cooking times. So you can't just mix them together and cook it. That's gay, even for a goyslop.
