Daehawk has a lot of questionable dietary choices he announces, but I expect many are made because the cheapest foods are often the least healthy.

Re: Random randomness
Let's just say my dad keeps talking about subsisting on Chinese sausage and rice porridge, and maybe canned salty fish, and it's possible, but you can't live long-term on that... they're not that nutritious. But I have a couple cans of that fish and couple packs of that sausage. I also have some of those survival bars and protein bars. The problem is vegetables and fruits.

I'd start by cutting back on those boxed cheeseburgers. That shit can't be good for you. Much better for you to make one yourself from scratch.

Exactly.
It's likely cheaper, healthier, AND better-tasting to make your own homemade frozen hamburger patties from ground beef vs. paying a premium for a prepackaged product loaded with garbage.

Full cheese burger in box - $1.05 with tax
Buns - $1.50
Ground beef - $6.00 (only comes in 2 lbs)
Cheese - $4.00
Tax on $11.50 - $1. 15
Total - $12.65
$12.65 vs $1.05
OR
$12.65 for 4 cheese burgers vs $4.20 for 4 cheeseburgers. For the $12.65 I could get 10 of the boxed. Remember Im on food stamps and not many..I should get $200 because I have like $80 left after all the bills. I get $92 after I begged and complained of the $56 I was getting .And I get one bag of food a month..usually dry beans and canned pears with a jar of peanut butter. Basically I live on $92 in food a month..and that free bag of fart fuel.
I think the only one here who can compare lifestyle is Blackhawk. No offense meant to anyone including BH. Just how life is. I even mentioned my weight gain to the lady at the food bank due to eating all the junk I have to eat because its cheap. Sometimes I think people must think I eat great because Ive gained weight. Opposite.
EDIT: Oh and pasta. Lots of dry pasta and can after can of tomato sauces. Thats not helping any at all in lowering weight hahaha.

Re: Random randomness
I am also poor people, and do poor people math for a living. For $12.65 you are getting eight of the good ones vs ten of the bad ones (2lb burger = 8 burgers.) And you're only using half of the pack of cheese, which means you have half left over for the next set. That changes the math by about two bucks, meaning that you can have eight burgers for the same price as nine of the boxed - essentially the same cost. And if you want to poor properly, you skip the buns and have them on bread. That saves even more, and is less toxic. They also taste a hell of a lot better, and that's from somebody who had one of those Meijer cheeseburgers. They're about a half a step above a school cafeteria burger from the 80s.Daehawk wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 2:05 pmFull cheese burger in box - $1.05 with tax

But that's not how you do it. Grab the two pounds. Make eight patties and freeze them. Have a couple per week and have some even cheaper stuff - peanut butter is a good choice - in between. It averages the cost of meals and makes them even cheaper. That last bit is the secret: If you can find something super cheap that isn't horribly unhealthy, you can use that to bring down the total average price of each meal and have a few meals that cost more.

Oh man I miss school cafeteria cheeseburgers and pizza.
8 patties would be pretty small patties. I can get 4 big ones and a little one. I suppose I could make 8 tiny ones. They really cook down.

Re: Random randomness
I'm not going to knock people's math but for me that works out differently.
8 buns on the cheap = $1 ($2 if you want reasonably good buns)
two pounds of 80/20 not on sale = $5 ($4 on sale, better ground beef is considerably more expensive)
16 slices of Kraft American slices= $2.50 (less if you go offbrand or get it on sale)
No food tax in Michigan
8 1/4 pound burgers, no condiments, no packaging = about $1.15ish.
That's same price as sale shopping single premade burgers. There's more effort but a better quality. On sale I could bring that down to about $.90 for both the pre-made and the prep myself.
All bets are off at the local grocers right now, though. Both meat and frozen aisles were basically empty on both trips I've made to the grocer this week. I got two dozen eggs on the second trip and I felt like a hoarder. The scarcity of everything else warranted so many eggs. Eggs and rice may very well be my diet this weekend, so as not to eat up everything else. We'll see. My grocer says they have increased their incoming trucks to try and catch up with demand.

You likely spend significantly more on games in a year than the $45 it costs for a basic Sam's Club membership. I dunno what your particular zip code is, but it looks like they have plenty of locations to choose from in Tennessee.

Re: Random randomness
Not necessarily. Just stick with products that are unlikely to go bad (e.g. rice, frozen food, and even burger buns that are easily frozen) and shopping at a warehouse club would stretch what limited resources you have a whole lot further.

Re: Random randomness
There's a LOT of stuff that makes sense buying bulk. Never say never. Anything that doesn't go bad, like TP, paper towel, detergent, cleaning supplies, can probably be bought in bulk, and you'd be set for months or years. Dried goods, canned goods, etc. no problem. Vitamins and more too. Nothing wrong with a case of water (35 bottles) and Coke (in 48 can packs) and so on.
What Costco also sells cheap is prescription drugs. Almost all of them have a full-service pharmacy, and you don't even need a membership to fill your prescription at their pharmacy. And their prices are usually 1/3 lower than other pharmacies esp. on generics. THAT, and hearing aid batteries.Stuff even single people should buy from Costco

Re: Random randomness
A couple of years ago I paid their membership fee to buy something where the member savings was greater than the fee. As a new member, I felt like I ought to go there and see what it was all about, so we made the drive and went through the hassle of getting member cards and I even ate one of their storied cheap hotdogs, which turned out to be a thoroughly average hotdog (but cheap). After wandering for an exhausting half hour, we concluded that Costco is not for us. If you're a really avid consumer, or you have a big family, or you really need the economies of scale, or they just have a store that's convenient and not too crowded, go nuts. Wasn't worth the effort for me.

Re: Random randomness
I'm kind of surprised, actually. I go to Costco about once a week, and buy everything from meat to cheese to frozen foods to tools to electronics. Prices are generally much better than the equivalent in the grocery store, and they generally have most of what I need. It's such a routine thing for me that it surprises me that there are so many here who don't utilize them.

The quality of their meat and produce is absolutely top notch, too. If you own a vacuum sealer and sous vide cooker, shopping at Costco saves an astounding amount of money.

Re: Random randomness
I probably saved my membership cost on a new washer and dryer I bought last month. Not only were the prices of the units themselves cheaper than Home Depot or Best Buy, the price included free delivery, free installation, all the needed hoses and cords (free!), and free haul away of my old units. Saved close to $300 pretty easily.Kraken wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 1:58 amA couple of years ago I paid their membership fee to buy something where the member savings was greater than the fee.

Mama flew off...tiny little blur of a bird....but the nest has 3 or so tiny tiny babies. they have their eyes barely open and its them making the noise. So sweet. I left it all alone. I heard mama return just now and them peeeping. Little angels. Nature is awesome.

Re: Random randomness
We’ve been getting earthquake aftershocks all day. Not enough to send us running for cover, but definitely enough that we feel it. Just had a 4.0 hit a few minutes ago, which is at least the third one today.
My already frazzled nerves are having a hell of a time dealing with this added fuckery on top of the plague.

Pro Homeowner Tip: If you smells gas, call your plumber, not the gas company. Friday afternoon my wife said she smelled gas after the HVAC guy came to add coolant to our system that has been leaking for years (only $8k to replace it!). I didn't smell up, but that's not a shock as I barely smell anything with my allergies. She called the gas company, they used their sniffer and said yup, has leak, turned off our gas, told us to call a plumber and left. This was at 4pm on Friday. It was 39 degrees overnight. Luckily our house is really well insulated and it only got down to around 60 inside.
Saturday we got the plumber out and he only saw leakage at like 35+ psi, which is not the kind of pressure you see coming into the system so not really a problem. City offices are closed/emergency only but I guess not being able to heat our home, cook our food or heat our water counts so the plumber is working on a permit to reseal a few connections to satisfy the gas company and maybe, just maybe I will be able to take a hot shower by end of day today.
Basically we are going to be about $1k out of pocket because my wife has a sensitive nose. Better safe than sorry, I guess?
