Money & Food

[Vadim26]

Got some rice for a buck at the dollar store (bunch of these) and popcorn for a dollar, way cheaper than the big name stores although it's a ton of traveling for me to go there so time wise it's not exactly worth it.

Spent $29 bucks on 2 boxes of chicken strips (actually got ripped off by the cashier now that I'm looking at the receipt) It was marked as $9.99, oh well thanks!

And at a different store spent $84 which I'm hoping will last me for the rest of the week.

Hot dogs, bread, strawberry jam, tons of juice that I feel gives me some sort of brain boost, chicken pasta...

bananas, pizza pops, bacon (been craving it for a long time so I caved) eggs & Cliff bars (interesting enough I looked into this company and they rejected a $120 million buyout) worth a read since this is an entrepreneur forum! & a couple of red bulls, also from another time I got carrots that made my stomach a bit uneasy & cucumbers, not really tasty but I guess they're healthy?

$113 total ++ the $10 bucks or something for the rice, cant find my receipt...

@Ninjakid superstore is kinda far for me but i'll go and see if its worth the trip for me next time i go out.

Starbucks vs Grocery shopping, I'm a total sucker for the bacon eggs at Starbucks, they're $5.25 & getting a massive loaf of bread + eggs (dozen) is $6.78 ($1.2 difference) quite a difference!

Have you tried online grocery delivery? Was game changer for me, but I live right to the Safeway.

Side note, I noticed alot of the big name brands had super colorful marketing and looked very appealing.

Next time you guys go out shopping soak it in. Think about the marketing aspect of groceries, it's really interesting.

Ah okay. They give deals on stuff that's close to the expiry date, because they have to get rid of it. But stuff like yogurt is good even two weeks past the date sometimes. Other stores probably do the same thing!

Oddly enough I was just having this thought as I walked up the street from my house to get a coffee at Starbucks.

If money was no issue in my life, ideally I'd have a chef with a set salary for the year to make me meals 7 days a week.

Not exactly there right now tho

Completely missing the point
