I grew up a poor Mexican and am slightly less poor today. When poo poo gets lean I turn to this.



Minus 8% cause I wouldn't order it out of the Curbside I would actually go inside.

I have friends that think like that poster though. who get soda and ready made meals. They rack up hundreds of dollars on food alone.

2 bucks a pound for beans? I've always heard good things about HEB, but that's like twice as much as I pay in Baltimore for dry beans.

Edit: Is it a demand thing?

quote:

During a brief stay with one aunt, she stole medication, a medical record file, mail, and wrongfully accessed my computer. After I refused her access to prescription drugs, she became nasty. Her child mind didn’t realize her gossip would find its way back to me. The file she based her gossip, were medical records containing errors and were pending amendment.

A hospital admission resulted in a misdiagnosis and the medication caused serious side effects. Soon after, the diagnosis was ruled-out, but those records were not in my possession for her to steal. Another record contained a transcription error where a term inserted when none was needed. There is a huge difference between talking to yourself and having an auditory hallucination. The provider amended the record and wrote a letter of apology. Again, that information was not available for his aunt to steal.

After experiencing a trauma, I was lonely as a result of isolating myself. During period of stress, racing thoughts due to ADHD are magnified. I was told that talking to myself could help keep my thoughts straight. I had eavesdropping neighbors that couldn’t tell the difference between me talking to myself or to someone on the phone (Bragi headphones). I moved away and during times of stress, began using meditation to slow down the thoughts, lol!

The eavesdropping neighbors and landlord won’t admit to their crime, and my son’s aunt won’t admit to hers. And his other aunts choose to be an accessory of both crimes. My son’s relationship with his mother, his well being, and his entire future is jeopardized to protect a drug-addicted thief.

My Dear friend has many, many relatives and connections in the business industry and local, state and federal government. He is sickened at their behavior and advising me along the way.

quote:

* The neighbors used amplification devices for eavesdropping. The landlord who sanctioned the intrusive behavior was in communication with my son and his aunt. They added 1 + 1 and got a sum of 5. All behind my back of course. Yes, it all got back to me. I enjoyed contentment knowing they were all idiots duped by another drug addicted sibling. Now their crimes effect my son.

Assuming you're living in her area to buy those grapes on that sale. $2.49/lb for grapes is about what I see for a sale in the summer around here. And on a snack-for-snack basis, I could buy 10 boxes of cheez-its or bags of chips for the same price and not have to worry about them going bad in 5 days. Which is what that whole post is about (that lovely prepackaged food loaded with HFCS and saturated fat is cheaper and simpler for the working poor to reliably consume than actually healthy food), if people would stop zeroing in on specific item choices for half a second. Would it be better if one of the bags of grapes was a bag of ~6 apples? Or if the pineapple+nuts were instead 2 bell peppers? Pick any $30 in produce you like, it's not going to change the reality of the problem, which is that poor people end up fat more often because the cheap easy food is poo poo nutritionally and combined with the dearth of food/cooking education in the country, there's very little if any way for them to learn how to cut an onion, how to fry an egg, etc. and telling someone "spend this money you need to maximize on ingredients along with time you probably don't have to maybe cook a thing that will be good for you assuming you don't gently caress it up and assuming you can get the ingredients and use them before they spoil" is painfully antithetical to actually solving the problem of getting the impoverished to cook & eat better.

Y'all aren't just missing the forest for the trees, you're missing the forest for a couple of oddly placed pinecones.

32 oz is 2 pounds. That appears to be 2x32 oz bags @ $2.10 ea.

Birb I hate to do this to you, but you can begin with: this is literally the inverse of anti-poor memes that insist that the indicated foods are not only cheaper than fast food but all you need to survive.

To whomever Peed on My Wife...
...you whipped your dick out on the eastern side of Columbus, on the sidewalk just before the stairs leading down to the south stage at about 8:15pm on this breezy Saturday, just as people who were getting onto place to enjoy the Weeknd (who has never peed on anyone, as far as I know) was about to go on. Your urine splashed on my wife's calves and ran down the back of her heels. (She says this is an exagerration...but even if it was exactly true, I'm pretty sure you don't care.)

First of all, she's fine. Thank you for your concern. She was grossed out, but handled it like a big girl, probably because she is a grown woman. Later, she joked about having to watch young girls get felt up as being slightly more troubling. I told her that we should make out in front of them just to even the score. Now I realize that I was wrong. You should have to watch us--a middle aged "wtf are these two doing here?"-type couple make out. Since I know you are eager to repent for your sins, just let us know where you are staying so we can get the punishilment that we've agreed on over and done with.

Second, I want you to know that if my wife hadn't been so quick to forgive and forget, I would have followed you and found the police, so you could explain to them why you did that. You disgusted a lot of people, and you were about 20 feet away from the urinals while you did so. Next time, have the decency to piss your pants, like a real man.

Lastly, please learn how to handle your poo poo. I don't care how much you drank or how hosed up you were on whatever substances. You need to learn how to be responsible because what you did was not the responsible thing. As a guy, you have a huge advantage in when and where to relieve yourself...and you squandered it by using the sidewalk, and my wife, as your urinal. I've never seen a girl do that...and they are at a disadvantage when it comes to going number one, as well as often having to wait much longer than you and I do to do so, which makes it even more inconvenient. When it's an absolute emegency, many of them turn into pee ninjas, finding the most discrete areas in a very public place to solve this problem. Maybe you should learn how to be less of a disgusting human being so one of them will feel safe enough to teach you how to go somewhere discreet and private when a pee emergency strikes.
