even chicken and tuna is expensive as fuck nowadays.

>>13506243
Chicken is not expensive

>>13506249
nor is tuna, unless you live off $5 a day

>>13506234

>not having wild raspberries and blackberries in your backyard

>not living in a city

>>13506234
i really agree though, who in their right mind would buy chocolate if you could eat strawberries instead? chocolate makes the body more full yes but it's also disgusting in the way it feels.
Strawberries feel fantastic after you've eaten them. Yet 250g strawberries cost like 3 euros at least and they are less filling than a 60 cent chocolate bar.

Not everyone loves in a food desert. Besides, berries are expensive. A real poor person would buy apples, oranges, and bananas. Apples are usually less than $2/lb. Oranges were under $1/lb. last time I saw them, and bananas are 59 cents/lb.

Poor people are bad at cooking. My mom works at the welfare office and they all rely on junk food, premade food, and fast food. Nobody cooks or eats fresh produce. The average welfare recipient probably couldn't boil a pot of beans.

that's why you shop for things that are on sale and in season, ya DINGUS

>Buying nature's candy to be healthy.

Get potatoes, and all the dark leafy greens you could ever want for that amount.

Is that including tip?

>>13506251
Depends if you eat real Tuna or the canned bullish

>>13506324
>Buy pizza
>Tip more than the pizza

A poor person would get 2 pizzas and not tip. Ass backwards.

>buying berries when they're not on sale

Gonna have a bad time. My Kroger's is selling blackberries for 99 cents right now. They're usually 5 or 6 bucks for a half an 8 oz container. Same with all the other berries. If you want cheap fruit you're usually getting apples, oranges, pears, bananas, kiwi, grapefruit. Everything else I wait to be on sale. Usually at least one type of berry or grape are on sale every week. And sometimes you get more exotic stuff like blood oranges or peaches or whatever.

Found the retard.

>>13506234
Here In israel it will be 50 bucks

>>13506455
Potatoes are the most nutritious veg out there, you can literally live off of potatoes.

>>13506457
>berries
>not candy

>>13506334

mmmmmkay

>>13506234
cost $8 a pack and half of them have mold

>>13506444
Since when are peaches considered exotic

>>13507338
Most fruit are considered exotic by flyover inbred retards, considering the only regular fruit intake they get is from the tomato slices in their McBurgers.

>>13506263
Yeah, there's a reason OP chose a picture of berries, the most expensive produce you can possibly find, instead of something like leafy greens or broccoli.

>>13506243
$1.99/lb here. I can get it for $1.60/lb if I wanted to shop somewhere besides walmart.

>>13506324

>>13507488
>>13507338
Flyovers were getting triggered by the newfangled limes and avocados a few years ago, I assume peaches are the new librul boogyman. I wonder when they'll get bananas?

I work in a produce department in a low income neighbourhood and people will still pay a million percent markup on precut watermelon and pineapple and shit because they are just that lazy. Healthy shit isn't expensive. But convenient healthy shit is and everyone is a lazy fuck.

>>13507530
That's probably me. I make $120k a year but I shop at a store and everyone in line is using EBT. The cashiers will be all yukking it up with the EBT people being friendly and making jokes and then they see what I'm unloading on the conveyer belt and their face turns to stone and they go full robot mode. I guess paying $3.99 each for small unflavored goat milk yogurts seems wasteful but whatever. I don't like the gross flavored CAFO trash, sue me.

>>13507530
saving dick $ on each purchase of food is not the reason people are poor, stagnated wages and high rental fees are the sole reason for poverty. this absolute meme about saving a few hundred a month with "smart purchases" is fucking laughable. like ohhhhh I saved $1000 whole dollars this year, maybe in 30 years ill be able to put a down payment on a car.

>>13507555
>>13507550
Yeah also this. Every so often I'll LARP as a poor and buy poor people shit for a week and when it's over I feel sad and I spent a ton of time soaking beans and rice and for all that trouble I saved, what. Like, enough for a 12 oz bag of single origin coffee? Imagine living on that and having to pay for a health problem. That isn't even enough to cover the copay on my last doctor visit.

>>13507550
At my store the dirt poor ebt users buy it too.
>>13507555
The point was that poor people are fat because they are lazy and careless. They don't mind paying out the ass for premade fruit bowls and mcburgers. Eating healthy isn't expensive. I find it frustrating as a poor person when other poor people tell me the reason their home is disgusting or they are fat as shit or whatever is because of poverty. It's an excuse.

>>13506500
Potatoes are not a vegetable.

>>13507579
Root veg is still veg.

>>13507567
people are fat because they don't exercise, thats literally the only reason.

>>13507683
Physique is mostly diet.

>>13507700
thats if you don't exercise. you can look good without exercising if you have a good diet, but if you exercise frequently you can eat whatever the fuck you want.

>>13506234
>off-season prepackaged fruit
I know this is bait but you can do better than this, /ck/

>>13507727
is anything really off season anymore? we grow shit 365 days a year indoors.

>>13506304
maybe if you're eating shitty milk chocolate

>>13506234
if only you would eat the bugs

I'm trying to help you

>>13507746
Importing something from south America is still cheaper. Prices are already going down, $5 a couple weeks ago and $3 last I saw them.

>>13507859
Shut the fuck up Greta

>>13506234
better eat those berries before they get moldy in two days

>>13506234
>buying from supermarkets over local markets
>buying out of season imported produce
Only the fiscally illiterate fail to afford to eat healthily

>>13506249
High(er) quality chicken breasts are $8/lb around me, but I get a whole chicken of high quality for $8-$12. Crazy how much it costs for well raised chicken that hasn't been pumped with saline.

>>13506234
Everybody knows berries are expensive. Regular healthy staple foods like peppers, onions, beans, and ground beef are cheap. Fat people are fat because they’re either too lazy to cook, or their parents failed to teach them to cook

>>13506234
>not buying those from costco for half the price, even less

Cus it's not in season.

>>13506234
>eating berries/any fruit off-season that aren't from a local farmer
No reason to. You can live without fruit. Just buy frozen if you really need it that badly and make a smoothie

I bought almost the exact same stuff last week (swap pears for grapes) and it only cost me $10. Same brands of strawberry and blackberry, too.

>>13506234
Unironocally true. Fast food has way more calories, is way cheaper, and much more satisfying. Fuck most if not all groceries have a "hot food" section right near their entrance.

>>13508742
>tfw the grapes alone cost $7

Where do you live, faggot?

>>13506234
Damn, fruits are that expensive in america? That would cost me 14.47 USD in Brazil in an expensive supermarket.

>>13509076
And only because raspberries and blackberries are batshit expensive in here.

>>13506322

And a smart person would buy 2 pizzas then mug the delivery guy for his tips

>>13506249
Boneless chicken here is like $12/lbs at the grocery store. Luckily I live close to a farmer's market and it is way cheaper with drumsticks being as low as $0.44 per lbs.

>>13507530
I noticed this too. It blows my mind what some people are willing to pay for

>>13509076
In general, yeah. It depends on where you are, though. In my experience, all produce gets cheaper the closer you get to Mexico.
