My splurge is buying a bag of pretzel bread rolls once every 2 weeks for $4 for four rolls. My groceries are milk, bread, eggs, and potatoes. Frozen broccoli if I can afford it.
I am starving send help.

If you can, I recommend adding cabbage, carrots, and frozen peas. The cabbage will help prevent scurvy.
10 years ago: millenials order too much avocado toast at the brunch restaurant, of course they're poor
Now: gen Z make too much avocado toast at home, of course they're poor
lol i spent $214 on groceries for the week yesterday :3 i'm totally splurging with my um, tacos, pasta, and salads i'm cooking, how fancy and luxurious.
So weird the elites keep lowering the bar of what a “luxury” is.
Gen Z is eating THREE TIMES A DAY, what does this mean for the economy?!
Anarchy is black, blood is red
Revolutions happen when bullets are cheaper than bread
To be fair big chain grocery stores overprice the shit out of their healthy, trendy food. The local Chinese supermarket has all the same trendy shit at 25% of the price sometimes. A bottle of kombucha doesn't have to cost 5 euro.

I make my own!
I love to cook, but prices have been getting steadily higher for less in my country too. These days I have largely stopped buying much food (my office supplies lunch, so I just make that my one meal for the day). Which sounds insane, but even if I can afford groceries it just feels painful to spend so much on a fairly small amount. When I do buy groceries now I jyst buy eggs and flour and make a lot of pasta, mostly cacio e pepe or aglio e olio. It's the most cost efficient thing I can think of.
