Do not buy processed shit
Do buy real food (legumes, vegetables)
I mean it
I don't think it matters. An onion costs me $2. A McDouble costs me $2. I can get a whole processed burger for the price of a condiment on a sandwich I'd make at home.
This is what has been aggravating me lately. It USED to be very solid advice to try to cut out processed food and buy produce instead. Now, though, even produce has freaking skyrocketed in price. Shopping the same way that used to be very thrifty has become way less so, to the extent that I don't know how people are surviving like this either. And we make decent money! But spending a guaranteed $200 every time I go to the store just for basic things we need for the week is killing me.
