[@saturnwhale653]

I was a bit opposite in college. I had about $35 a week, which was more, but I spent about $20 on the calorie essentials and the other $15 was for produce/extra nutrition. I bought a lot of bulk brown rice, dried beans, dried lentils, potatoes, flour, didn't eat meat or cheese. I literally weighed out how much rice I would need per week for 500 cals/bowl and that's what I bought, same for the other goods, I only bought the weight in grams that I needed for calories over the next 7 days. I would spend the remaining $15 on fresh produce (optional, since I got all my calories from the bulk foods). I made huge bowls of oatmeal for breakfast everyday, black bean and brown rice taco bowls, and then a huge pot of lentil vegetable soup with homemade dinner rolls on the side. Honestly, I ate way better back then on a budget, and so hearty, than now when I am spending like $70/week and being lazy.

Oh baby. As the mother of one I'm telling you: be proud of your brain case. Bigger head for bigger beautiful eyes, expressive cheeks and a lovely smile. Not just words of mom here, look at the poster-boys of any beauty: the athletes, actors, politicians, fantasy artwork, the beauties of every era from the ancients, to the emos, extreme weight models of any gender (not that I encourage any harmful lifestyle) tiny babies to the elderly- one thing 'beauty' types all seem to have in common is a larger than average head with that impossible-to-miss expresssive face. It's great for any body that you will carry as well. You'll never have that pin-headed look and you won't get the snow man effect unless you grow 7 or 8 chins- it will take a LOT of obesity to oval out that lucky stroke of a cranium. However! if you shave your head to fuzz and don't have nothing prominent from the neck down- if you are utterly flat in every way. You *Will* look like a Q-tip. So advice from mom: if it's compliments that you want, keep your weight at anything but utterly flat if you want that tennis ball fuzz and you will be stunning. But it will be hard to lie with that lovely face. You are so blessed I could hug you. And that baby girl is going to blow them out of the water when her beautiful hair grows in and her cheap ass mom lets her trim the scarecrow ends.

"Food that you're not using" like not using this minute? Most people only aren't going to be 'using' it when it goes stinky Also the way the neighbours look at her makes me think she has never actually asked them for food before & she's just doing it for the cameras

[@sophiaschier-hanson4163]

Honestly? It makes sense if you specifically ask single people! It’s hard to get through leftovers living alone.

[@Yoruten17]

Ken….that's not what happened lol. In 2007ish to 2008ish, the housing bubble burst. What that was, the banks were giving out loans to people who couldn't really afford them for years and selling them to financing corporations to make money. When people couldn't pay, the loan selling industry collapsed and people lost their houses because they couldn't afford the loans. It helped bring on the recession.

Oof. I remember being in middle school and finishing in 08. Those were worrying times. Lots of people were losing work from the recession.

[@minxymoo2325]

Lots of people kill their own meat. I think the lady knows she has to kill it.

[@jasonmorrell148]

Well, more likely she has to pay someone to butcher it properly and portion out the different cuts of meat. It's not super cheap. Plus she has to feed the animal and take care of it. Those chickens need a coop or they'll get killed by other animals.

[@mzsharboneau]

As an owner of chickens I disagree on the cost. We had 12 we now have 4, the cost for food and upkeep was not worth the eggs we were getting. It was cheaper to just buy the freaking eggs!

[@sophiaschier-hanson4163]

Ag student here. Pig clubs / farm shares / whatever you call them are an actual thing and a fairly normal way (some!) people buy meat. And even lots of farmers don’t do their own slaughter or butchering.
