Wanted to drop an update and thank you again. I bought some lima beans, rice, an onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and some mustard greens. There’s some things I’ll change next time, but this will definitely put me in a better position food wise. It’s really fucking good!
Hell yeah! I’m really happy to see things getting better for you.

A gnard-kicking gnome is definitely a Pratchett character.
I have to be honest - and maybe it’s partially a skill issue - but I really can’t. I’m running a deficit every week. I’m stuck in rotating CashApp loans. Every week I also end up borrowing 20 to 50 from friends, to be paid back on payday. So wash, rinse, repeat. And I have to visit mutual aid way more often than I’d like. So the honest answer to your question is a negative number, as far as available. As far as what I spend, I don’t really know. And I guarantee I’m not spending it smart when I’m stress buying the one meal I get that day because someone came through. So I just get cheap takeout for like 10. Which I know is awful, but I do think it’s understandable. I’m trying to do better.
Holy shit, this is perfect. I really fucking appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Thank you so much! I’m saving it to my desktop so when I am ready I can pull it back up easily. I just started a second job, so hopefully within the next month or two I’ll finally be able to focus on actually living and saving and budgeting instead of being worse than hand to mouth.
Thank you, again!
I did leave out some important details, I see now.
Unfortunately I’ve been barely getting by. Assume I have nothing ingredient wise. I have some seasonings, but that’s about it. I’ll definitely have to build up a supply of essentials. I have some pots and pans. Nothing fancy, but I make do. I have an oven, stove, and microwave.
I’m southeast US. COL around here I feel like is kind of high, but it’s no big city. There is a Publix (main grocery around here), an Aldi, Walmart, and Asian market all within a couple miles, which is good because I rely on a bicycle and the bus.
I have no dietary restrictions. I’m trying to move my diet more towards no-meat but I’m not there yet. That said, I welcome meatless suggestions.
You got me 😂 In my meager defense, I posted this right before bed and had already smoked. I left out a few details I should have included.
I definitely fixated on specifically mangos for a while last year. They’re tasty.
It actually looks frozen to me. Source: I work in frozen grocery. Fresh food from our deli that expires or otherwise is damaged but still suitable for consumption is often frozen and donated.
Yeah, tell Dunc he still owes me for that thing. He’ll know what you mean.
Lol that was meant as a reply to the flipper zero comment. My bad
Seems like your problem could be solved using those newfound skills of yours 😂
Are you suggesting storing the onions in orbit?
Started listening to them like a month ago because a Hexbear mentioned them. Knew I liked them for a reason!
I’ve always disliked them but I think they’re starting to get to me too. I don’t know if I’d say I like them, but I did see one in particular yesterday that caught my eye. It helped that it was attached to a rather cute human.
Oh that’s so real. I’m like six years clean of opiates - it does get easier, but occasionally my veins get itchy when I get really stressed. Normally relationship stress.
