[@ainsleysnyder5241]

[@amber-ik5ls]

also the fact she chose expensive options even when she was in a budget kinda made me feel a bit upset. So a $50 dollar budget and she spent her last FOUR DOLLARS on starbucks and gave the homeless woman a few cents :/ what im trying to say is she had first world problems even with a budget. like canned beans? dishwasher pods? Starbucks coffee? also a lot of people can easily budget that. Hell, $50 is more of a blessing than a budget. I could order food every day.

[@theratherconfusedbabyyeti8632]

I spend less than £10 which is I think about $12 a week on food the rest is rent and bills

[@cuphead8159]

She’s live sin a state where everything is expensive and traditional cheap restaurants are Golding downhill while vegan avocado trendy places from insider are just so basic and generation Z like. Which are going uphill

[@ZoftigBeauty]

By your own coffee will same you a lot more money. shredding the chicken and adding different flavors would have changed up for your taste buds. Instead of kidney beans you could have gotten chick peas and made hummus and falafel. Also making overnight oatmeal would assure you would not miss this meal. And a decent splurge would be getting coffee from a deli or small shop for $1.50 not $4.50.

[@ZoftigBeauty]

[@fancyorangemittens]

+Coreane Matthews Yea... but that's real-people talk. It amuses me that this is even a thing. I can tell you that I spend more than $50 a week... but not on myself. I spend the vast majority of my money on my classroom and transportation for PD. It's a very very very rare treat that I buy coffee for myself, and it usually comes from a gas station for ~50 cents. $50 a week would be a freakin' awesome budget for me. Seriously.

[@HangingDown]

+Coreane Matthews Yess! why not make your own coffee. In Holland it is not a big thing to get coffee somewhere else than your home or office. And buying chickpeas to add in dinner and make from the rest hummus fom is a good idea! Thank you :)

[@cnoelad83]

When I make shopping lists I figure out first thing what I can get at Dollar Tree or the 99 cent store! And then I figure out what's on sale where or what I can use coupons for , or any discount store like Teusday Morning etc. Then I make dinner /food plans according to what's on sale at the grocery store.

Why buy peeled garlic and expensive oatmeal when you can get a bunch of whole garlic, store brand oatmeal, etc. Aren't there like Chinatown produce markets in NYC? Buy veggies there. Buy a big bag of beans, look for dollar stores that have food. Buy chicken drumsticks on sale and freeze what you don't need just yet. If you have unlimited transportation, go the extra mile to save a lot on your food, explore on your day off to find better grocery stores, and buy what spoils quickly closer to where you live.

Jannyl13 Yeah that's why y'all are getting so many of us college aged kids over there. With the new crappy candidates coming up, the increasing racial tensions, the rise in prices and poverty futures for the younger gen. are looking quite bleak here in the states. My bf and I were planning on moving overseas but we can't afford it right now because he just got super lucky and started his career super early at 20 but it'll be a year or so until he starts raking in a good enough amount of cash. We should have enough money saved up in the next 5 years or so here to move though. Let's hope all goes well with that. I wanna be living it good in Germany!

I could easily live off around 260 Thai Baht a day on food alone which is the equivalent to 7 US dollars, the reason I could do this was because the food was CHEAP, a lot cheaper than food in the US.

[@Lady_Jay42]

Good idea, but man things are a bit skewed. Depending on how many trips you absolutely need on the subway (think more along the lines of 2 trips per day to and from work), the pass is only worth it if your requirements go over the cost of paying per day. Unlimited travel is usually not a necessity. You got garlic cloves pre-peeled and in packages, there is no way that was cheaper than a regular ol' bulb of garlic you peel yourself. And that oatmeal you got, I recognize the brand and that is probably one of the most expensive brands out there. Splurging on coffee is fine, but that looks like a grande from Starbucks which again is a more expensive brand of coffee. If you HAD to have your favourite, go with a tall. I've had many years of surviving off a small budget and some of these choices reflect the fact that next week you're able to spend 50$ per week on just eating out alone when the reality for most people is they just cannot afford that whatsoever. On the other hand, I live in Canada where those grocery items, transit pass and drug store items all cost way more than what you had to pay. Deodorant alone can cost around 6$ leaving 3 left for contact solution? Ha! Not here! lol
