    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.

    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

    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.

      Potassium isn’t in multivitamins. Make sure your multi has iodine. This solved most of my energy and mood issues that weren’t macronutritional

      If you can, I recommend adding cabbage, carrots, and frozen peas. The cabbage will help prevent scurvy.

    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.
