Learn to cook from raw or whole ingredients.
The amount we pay for processed bullshit that makes us sick is mind-boggling, we're talking like a factor of 10 to 1 almost.
And before you come at me, I meticulously budget my food, I make everything from scratch
Just as one example, frozen pizza. The absolute cheapest, worst piece of shit you can get in my area would be about $6 on sale. Compare that to making homemade crusts, sauce, and topping it myself for around 75 cents per pizza.
Many people use the excuse that they don't have time. Funny how they have time to go to work for 2 hours and earn $40 that they can just pay to Skip the Dishes, but don't have half an hour to make some homemade spaghetti.
You must be skimping on cheese to get it to 75 cents
Was waiting for this nit pick.
How much cheese do you think you need on a pizza dude.
You can make the crust and the sauce for like 15 cents... 50-60 cents of cheese is a lot of damn cheese in my view... Double what you get on the frozen piece of cardboard.
Why didn't you nitpick meat?
I cannot stand people like you honestly. You are the exact same kind of self-slaving, nitpicking, excuse making, lazy person that I describe in my other comments. If you actually put any effort into budgeting and making food, you would already know that 75 cents of homemade is more pizza, more calories, and actually healthy to eat vs the pre-pagaged dog shit you'd get for 8x cost at the store lol
I was with you until you started italicizing things and calling people lazy. It's an honest question, you gotta chill bro
Jesus Christ it was a one liner statement chill out, lmfao
