I am still having flashbacks of that thread where people were arguing that poor people just needed to only eat beans and rice.

my favorite food discourse was when a bunch of SF techies reinvented Ensure and tried to market it to coders who were too code brained to remember to eat regular food, but then a bunch of people got really sick from horrible malnutrition

all the threads I can think of more encourage you to have a bean and rice horde which is loving tough at these prices

at the white people stores, sure, but a 20 pound sack of rice and similar of dried beans is still very affordable at your standard local asian or hispanic grocery

this is grocery adjacent, but I get super annoyed when I go to the supermarket to get something that (in my mind) should be cheap with plenty of variety and get neither. I need some ramekins of different sizes to experiment with some recipes. it's a porcelain cylinder which should be like $.89 each, so I went looking at Giant and the Target supermarket near me. a single 4oz ramekin - the only size stocked by both stores - is $5!!! you can get 8 for $20, but I don't want 8. Target had 14oz ramekins also for $5 each, and Giant had metal 8oz "disposable ramekins," which are essentially cupcake paper made of double-thick tinfoil this country is a mess. I bet China has ramekins coming out the wazoo

Why is there no shoplifting megathread in cspam for tips and tricks I have been getting exceedingly better at just not swiping poo poo in the self-checkout area but I have been almost entirely reliant on how sleepy/distracted the supervisor is and how drunk I am Does anyone know how sensitive the weight sensors are on that thing? Like could you just swap the barcode on poo poo that more or less weighs the same?

They responded like you would expect a tech goober would quote:Although we feel strongly that these requirements do not reflect the current understanding of human nutritional needs, we respect the CFIA's regulations and will fully comply with any regulatory action they deem appropriate “I clearly know more about nutrition than you but FINE whatever”

the cool thing about grocery stores is that they throw away tons and tons of perfectly edible even preserved food, and make sure that nobody can get at it
