    $50 at your nearest store in snacks?



    Got paid by the best sponsor of all time today, sent some money to my baby momma, and hit up the local gas station for $50 in snacks.

    What does $50 in snacks at your nearby favourite walking-distance store look like?

    The wasabi cashews are fucking incredible but like $5 or $6 I think

          I'm in Canada, everything is going up like .50 cents every couple of months it seems... STAGG Chili cans are like nearly $6 each unless you go to Wal-Mart...

              I'm really shocked that buying booze and pre-prepared stuff at a gas station (add a 50-100% markup on whatever you buy the moment you walk in) costs $50

              you sprained your wrist so you can't even make your own sandwich and salad?

              for me walking along my street, maybe $8 USD for an average day of food spread out over a week. I'm not gonna eat a whole cauliflower in one day

              biggest expenses are my protein shakes, frozen blueberries (a splurge at $15 per bag, but I love them so) and imported pasta sauce (delicious eaten cold from the jar with a spoon). all that I get at the grocery a few blocks down the road

              also like jerk tofu my neighbour who runs a little food spot makes for me, I just buy the tofu which is cheap cuz no duty on food imports from China. take from that what you will. $4 will buy a package that lasts me days

              add in cigs, call it $15-20 per day

              don't even get me started on cat litter though

              for real, why on earth are you buying stuff at a gas station? was that sandwich even edible?

              I think the biggest problem you're facing re costs is lack of local grocery stores. a lot of CA towns have faced that for a while as the big chains took over independent stores (or drove them out if they stayed independent by underpricing them) and then closed the ones that sold cuz not profitable enough. the phenomenon is called 'food deserts'

              that's not inflation, that's capitalism at it's worst

              but that can't stop you from making your own sandwiches and salad. bet the booze was half the bill though

                  Yea I seen Hormel for almost $6 in USA. I never even saw the smaller cans untill 2 weeks ago. I think those are 3.99. Crazy considering it's basically dog food.

                      I had to goog what 'Hormel' is, never heard of it before. apparently they make spam and stew, so guessing y'all are talking about one of those?

                      second search result was about them settling a lawsuit earlier this year for 500 mil for price fixing. I guess stuff still on the shelves bought at the higher price is still out there, or the stores are just all 'hey, they'll buy at it this price, why lower it now that we source for less cost?'

                      in CA, Loblaw (they own a bunch of chains, including Walmart CA) just settled a class action lawsuit about price fixing bread. Canada Bread got fined 50 mil for doing the exact same thing

                      I get inflation is real, just saying there are other factors at play

                      and buying booze and food at a gas station doesn't help. it's always gonna cost way more

                              Considering the fact that i would just steal / shoplift as many items as possible, and not pay for any of them, negates the amount acquired...

                              Simple answer is 'As much as i can get away with without being caught'...

                                  Yep, Cancun is the same way, we hear about all these countries that are considered to be 'shitholes' yet, the costs associated with even a basic standard of living in them are crazy low, I stay in Cancun for 3-6 months at a time an eat like a king (even when I go to the tourist areas) for less than the cost of a coffee in the US. The food is also super fresh, most of the meat is slaughtered the day it hits the market, produce is picked fresh daily and beer and liquor is also super cheap.

                                      Every now and then I'll hit 7/11 for a 6 and a candy bar. I want to say around $15. Candy bars are typically $3, damn. But it's a convenience store, not the greatest litmus test. They stack on charges because you are there and "desperate" for food.

                                      Buying meals at a convenience store is just burning money. Can't imagine it's any good either?

                                          I stayed long time in Playa del Carmen and Vallarta last years. Price there went up after Corona. But now the pesos is 20% down again, so it is getting cheaper again I was always buying kilo's picanha, salmon and vegetables for my BBQ in Costco. In Holland everything would be at least 5 times more expensive. And without view over the blue ocean. Ps, best meat is in Costco or local butcher, other supermarkets sometimes had green meat... not one time, many times.

                                          Tomorrow it is time for an 1 hour massage for 10 usd (inlcuding tip).

                                          If i was Huggles i would head for the local Coscto, Wallmart or market. Or better, just take a plane to Mexico or Thailand.

                                                      I like the convenience of delivery, so I'm pretty sure half of that $50 is going toward delivery and tip!

                                                      I think I'd rather skip the snacks and go straight for some Taco Bell right now, though.

                                                          I usually eat out on lunch so I only buy stuff for dinner which is usually, some Kelloggs coco or rice krispies with milk.

                                                          I dont like to spend on food so I usually got with cheap stuff with long shelf life.

                                                              You would have been able to get more actual snacks if you didn't spend a portion of that $50 on alcohol and do your purchasing at a gas station.

                                                              I could take my $50 to the local Walmart and get a shit ton of snacks. If I was broke, like you, I'd take that $50 to the local Dollar Tree and live like a fat ass king of snacks for a few nights.

                                                                  I could take my $50 to the local Walmart and get a shit ton of snacks. If I was broke, like you, I'd take that $50 to the local Dollar Tree and live like a fat ass king of snacks for a few nights.

I do take my vitamins and drink my glycerna shakes (factored into my $8 or so per day) as I don't eat meat (ethical reasons) or grains (can't eat wheat, don't like the rest) and have nowhere near a semblance of a balanced diet otherwise. I try to drink one a day but usually fail at that, they are very rich

                                                                                      don't keep a lot in my fridge or cupboards. the social exchange of buying something warmed by the sun gives me an appetite. the fridge is mostly for nailpolish, condoms and (tap) ice water

                                                                                      what I def don't do is spend half a food budget on gas station booze and shitty prepackaged wilted lettuce and stale bread and then complain about rising food costs

                                                                                      you have to admit it's a lot easier for us outside NA folks though. I'm guessing no one sells mangoes on Huggles' stretch of highway that stands in as replacement for actual street life

                                                                                      JA fits me, outside the city fresh food is so plentiful I can revert back to my preference for eating really small portions every few hours without looking strange. like, I'm hungry, I get a fresh lime water. then later, buy an otaheite apple, etc throughout the day

                                                                                      as to my cigs...

                                                                                                  good point yeah you eat less when youre smaller. i was once 330lbs and consumed a lot, and probably bought a lot more toilet paper. smoking and coffee curb the appetite, the protein is just for post workout so you dont pass out. but i think its safe to say 1000 calories a day is sufficient (USA claims its 2000/day min). The trick is to consume 1g protein for every lb of body weight, cut the sugar/soda/juice/bread/alcohol and before you know it you look like somali pirate on the way to work
