I love that cats universally smell and rub their cheeks on groceries.

For fun, I tried to find similar or same items for a local grocery store to me to see the price difference… it’s roughly $160CAD. That’s a crazy difference.

Minus a few things on the left, cause it’s hard to tell what they are.

This looks like you did ok, I would check the prices on dried beans, those are usually cheap and a nutritional powerhouse. I strongly dislike the junk food you bought (personally) but don't think it's blowing up your budget. I make bread instead of buying it but that's because I like fancy bread.

Overall - if you are vegetarian not vegan, I think eggs, dry beans, brown rice, tomato paste would be good additions and I will add my voice to the chorus expressing dismay at your choice of canned green beans. If you are underweight, nuts too - expensive but so good and so many calories, healthy fat and protein.

If you are up north, it's a good time to start some seeds indoors, grow something you like to eat, if you are like me in a warm place, can start them outdoors now.

And I do think you did OK.

That frozen broccoli is pretty good and useful, great choice

i know the enchilada sauce is one of the cheapest items in this picture but i recently made some from scratch and can confirm that canned enchilada sauce is absolutely flavorless. alternatively, it is super simple, quick and inexpensive to make from scratch. broth, tomato paste and toasted spices (chili p., ground cumin, garlic p., onion p., pinch of oregano/cayanne/salt/pepper and optional dash of apple cider vinegar) made in a roux and simmered for 10m. that’s it! the difference is night and day. go forth in flavor.

Not enough PS5 to balance the cost.

Did you really need to splurg on the Thomas bagel thins vs great value?!

I'm joking that's mental

Do you actually need bakery muffins? You know you could make your own for half the price!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Those uncrustables,though delicious, cost way more than they're worth. You would spend as much, maybe even less, on peanut butter and jelly in jars, which would obviously last much longer.

Get better tortillas.

Stores should stock some from local mexican markets.

kudos to those who can afford being vegan. I know that with this spreads nutritional ratio I would either gain weight rapidly (and thus have to sub in more expensive proteins) or have to work out all the time. I
