Last time I checked, corn flakes weren't that cheap. My go to is still rice.
Rice + lentils is the ultimate poverty lifehack. A well-stocked spice drawer (expensive, but lasts a long time) plus those two ingredients can provide like 80% of your food indefinitely. Don't waste your time or money on ramen
Don't waste time on ramen? Ramen is a good base. Toss in some fresh veg, boiled egg, maybe a bit of meat or tofu.
Pretty quick and easy.
Though, I'm not talking about the maruchan stuff. Even the cheapest Asian ramen gonna be better than that.
If you have an Asian, Mexican, or Indian market where you live, you can usually find spices in bigger packs for lower prices.
If we’re talking breakfast: 2 eggs, 1/4 cup egg whites, 2 oz breakfast sausage and a dollop of heavy cream.
Brown sausage over medium heat with a bit of oil or butter. Whip eggs, whites and cream together and add to pan with browned sausage. Finish with shredded mild cheddar cheese (optional). If you get it in a block it’s cheaper and melts better.
This comes out to around $2 a meal and nets 54 grams of protein if consumed with a glass of milk.
If you’re into Kombucha or Kefir, drink a glass 30-45 minutes after a meal like this. No, scratch that. I forgot probiotics feed on carbs, so if you’re a rice eater or cereal for that matter – take your probiotics, preferably from food or beverage, after a carb heavy meal.
Name brand cereal has gotten so expensive. I swapped to store brands and haven't noticed a huge difference. Probably better to stop eating cereal in general.
It's all the same dumb shit. There's like 3 factories that make all the shit.
Not wrong, way too much sugar in it for it to be good for anyone's consumption
No fucking way did this dude just say the 21st century verion of "Let them eat cake"
Let's eat him, instead.
I'm a Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA) fan, and unfortunately the team is owned by Dan Gilbert who also owns Rocket Mortgage. During every game, they run this Rocket Mortgage commercial that shows this schlub of a man bringing home three bags of groceries while the voiceover says how it used to be six bags of groceries for the same price. Then his house starts talking to him, reminding him that he has equity in the house and thus can take out a second mortgage and use the money to pay for ... groceries. Just a horrifying, dystopic nightmare with catchy music and an animated smiley house.
Like anybody reduced to eating cereal for dinner is buying fucking Kellogg's when they can get the Aldi version for like a third of the price.
I go out of my way to avoid giving that fascist family any of my money.
Fuck you you fucking fucks.
"My, my, my, someone sounds like they need a yogurt enema." --John Harvey Kellogg's ghost, probably
I guess we have to reinvent the guillotine, version 2024. History will talk about let them eat cornflakes. It's so ridiculous because cornflakes here is more expensive than a loaf of bread.
This is the greatest work of art I’ve ever made in 30 seconds in ProCreate:
Fuck that. Oatmeal is way cheaper and more nutritious. If we're going that way I'm not giving Kelloggs money.
1kg Kellogg's cornflakes = €4.79
1.5kg Aldi porridge oats = €1.19
If I'm eating a cereal product for dinner I'll go with the more filling and versatile oats
You guys remember when a box of cereal cost $3?
Those were good times. You know…2021 or so.
Even at $3 it was a terrible deal for the quantity of food you actually get. Cereal has always been a ripoff, more about the marketing and added sugar than about being actual food
Remember, cereal was first proposed as a cure for masturbation, so rub one out for freedom.
If I had to eat corn flakes for every meal, it would work the way John Kellogg intended. I wouldn't have the strength to jerk off. I would be too damn depressed.
What a piece of shit CEO. I wish they people would feel unsafe saying this type of stuff to struggling people.
I'd rather eat your children, Moneybags McFatfuck.
Sorry, but how does he think someone who is cash strapped is buying the name brand, and not the dollar tree version? Wow this dude is so out of touch
Well, if I still ate cereal, I would stop eating kellogg's.
Besides, that breakfast cereal was created because Kellogg thought that it would stop people from masturbating.
Grains loaded with added sugars for your largest meal. Surely that won't contribute further to this country's health crisis, like it didn't already do that by marketing itself as healthy for growing children.
is this what late stage capitalism looks like, when the cause of the problem tries to disguise itself as the genius solution?
As a child i always thought cornflakes in any shape are a good breakfast. As an adult i'm just scratching my head, wondering why we got diabetes for breakfast. If i'd be too poor to eat properly, cornflakes would ve the very first thing that has to go. But i don't eat them in the first place, so fuck you kellogs boy.
And here I am buying flour and eating pancakes all day long. Or potatoes. If only I could afford corn flakes!
Here is a money saving tip for Gary Pilnick: eat shit!
So we just stop buying Kellogg's products.
Keep getting them at the shops, just stop buying them.
One should never eat corn flakes.
