/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Not really, I live well within my means and none of my expenses have changed much.

Here it would look like lots of legumes, oats, potatoes, eggs, chicken thighs and ground meat, frozen fish instead of fresh, etc.

It's a good excuse to eat better. Goyslop has skyrocketed in price while good quality ingredients haven't increased nearly as much. Seed oils were supposed to be so cheap as to basically be free but now they've tripled in price and it's a very small jump of money for healthy cooking fats like tallow and lard and you don't need as much.

Back to /pol/, biden is no more or less to blame for the current situation than any president in the last 30 years.

And no, I didn't change my eating habits because of food costs because I'm not poor.

I only eat out when I get coupons in the mail

>>18164639
>Shutting down domestic energy production has nothing to do with high production costs
Uhuh

>>18164659
So Trump crashing the economy had nothing to do with it? It's all of them- if you think it's one leader or party you are a retard.

Also, stop being poor.

>>18164676
>crashing the economy
>conveniently right as he is replaced by Biden
That "real life enjoyer" should probably be in a straight jacket

>>18164681
Then why is virtually every other country also experiencing high levels of inflation? Fuck Biden but the president doesn't have many tools to fight inflation. That's why they just keep raising interest rates, that's all they have direct control over.

>>18164689
>the president doesn't have many tools to fight inflation
ending the fed is the only tool he needs, which he has

>>18164547
If shit gets any worse I'll have to start hunting again.
It's not that I have a moral problem with hunting, I'm a human being after all, that's normal.
It's that I'm lazy and I'd rather not spend all that time and effort.

>>18164692
>being this retarded about politics and believing boomer-tier nonsense about eliminating the fed fixing all the problems

You're like one of those commies who think "if we get rid of capitalism all the bad things will go away". But is cite to watch/pol/cels they to into economics. These things are cyclical, and if you're not poor and stupid (which you are) you will weather the hard times and thrive in the good times (which you won't)

I'll say it again, stop being poor.

>>18164547
No but I feel like quality has gone down in some produce and meats. There's so many mutant huge chicken parts on the shelves now, like absurdly thicc thighs that are a nightmare to cook evenly, it would probably take like 2h at low temps. I've had to resort to searching out small whole chickens and breaking them down to get decent chicken.

>>18164547
I'm neither impoverished nor obese, so no I haven't changed my eating habits at all.

>>18164723
You should be doing that anyway you dumb faggot

>>18164740
Sometimes I just want some chicken thighs to eat without adding too much to the mass of bones in the freezer, I don't need that much stock you dumb faggot. I just want small chicken parts without accumulating chicken backs at an absurd pace.

>>18164547
The recession made me go on a diet. Used to eat pizzas, fast food, TV dinners, cheap frozen pre-prepared food etc. Now I just eat super healthy. Eggs, turkey, chicken, veggies, rice are all I eat. Had to give up pop too.

>>18164689
>>18164676
>Republican President in office
It's all his fault that everything is fucking shit
>Democrat President in office
Come on, guys. It's not the presidents fault. If we blame one we have to blame them all so let's not blame Biden. I'm neutral btw.

Aw shucks you convinced me. Nothing he can do. He was pressing buttons.

>>18164795
>Absurd pace
A chicken doesn't have that many bones, I'm constantly running out of stock and I exclusively buy whole chickens to break down for parts, no idea how you could possibly have too many unless you're just stockpiling then never actually making stock like a lazy retard

>>18164820
Not those anons, I usually immediately leave any /ck/ thread as soon as it gets political because /ck/ is retarded in all thigs non-food, but you made a good observation, thought I should let you know. Also for any retard out there going to reply in asshurt towards me, A) I don't partake in caring about politics on ny Blue or Red imbecilic level, and B) I won't be reading your posts as I have already left the thread. Leave the politics elsewhere, please.

>>18164837
>I am so proud of not getting political on /ck/ that I think I will make an entire post bragging about how I don't get political on /ck/

They're retards and you're a retard with an inflated ego.

Is this achievable natty?

>>18164837
>/ck/ is retarded in all thigs non-food

I ate goyslop on welfare and have continued eating goyslop as a successful businessman. Not proud, but it gets the job done.

>>18164547
I get all my food for free from local food banks, so I'm mostly eating chicken, spaghetti, rice, and beans. There's tons of canned stuff, too. The ones I go to weekly also have tons of vegetables, but most of them have been frozen and have turned to mush. I mostly take any onions, potatoes, spinach, and anything else I know I'll eat before it spoils. I have a couple chest freezers that I put all the meat in and a bunch of jars and sealable plastic containers I keep the dry goods in.

>>18164605
funny
>>18164639
unfunny

>>18164547
Doesn't affect me since i dont live in bidens america

>ctrl+f vegetables
>1 result
How much does vegetables cost at kg and how much does meat?
You just need 500gr of meat weekly to survive

>>18164740
People post without being aware of blueboard rules, or worse, not following those

>>18164988
Where do you live? Expand your posts or do not reply at all if you have to reduce it to political stuff, this is /ck/

>>18165206
You sound like a retard

>How much does [VEGETABLES] cost?
>Oh no, the heckin blue boardarino rules

>>18164731
I am impoverished (ah, the life of an educator) but not stupid nor obese so my diet hasn't changed much, either.
Mostly vegetables, a little grain, a little dairy, a little meat, scant prepackaged foods. It's not hard. It's not time consuming.

I am still eating the same, but i pay more for the same amount, but in winter is going to sting, electricity prices and heating is going to cost with at least 30%-40% more, while now the prices for everything jumped 30% at least, we expect higher inflation in winter, so higher prices for everything.
Winter is going to be a nightmare

>>18164897
This /ckc/ is retarded about food things, for fucks sake some of the slop you guys praise is simply vile.

>>18164547
Wait is this the JUST guy?

>>18164547
I made myself a big spreadsheet of foods and figured out the price per pound of everything. Realized I was buying expensive shit and started buying cheaper items so I've actually been able to increase my foods during this recession.

>>18164547
I am spending about the same amount at the grocery, I think, but if you have to cut back, you have to buy dried beans and start using your crockpot for hearty soups. Buy large quatity meat packages at like costco or walmart, 10 packs, freeze portions and use them as needed. Flavor with ham and turkey smoked legs.
Maybe your own bread is worth it, or else freeze bread to last and enjoy slices in the toaster.

>>18164812
Yep. I had to quit drinking cokes too. I loved diet Canada Dry, but $7 a twelve pack was just too much to justify. Been drinking water the past month and it feels great.

>>18168048
iced tea is inexpensive, as is a big tub of lemonade powder

I went all in with chicken thighs so it hasn't been too bad. Got a combi oven on sale so cooking them up is real easy basically idiot proof with the temp probe function.

>>18168066
I just got a bit bottle of lemon juice and add some squirts when I want some flavor. I actually like just drinking water, it's really helped my taste buds. Food tastes better now that I'm not bombarding them with strong flavors constantly. You are correct thought, there are cheaper alternatives. I've thought about getting some of those Mio things, but I'm too lazy to sit down and do the price per serving size (which varies by taste) math.

>>18168179
I like the little sachets of Crystal Light pink lemonade. The math is easy, just 1 sachet per 500ml (16.9fl oz bottle), but it's a bit strong at that level.

>>18168218
Yeah, that's why I like the Mio things, you just squirt to your preference. It's been years since I've used one, so I'd have to get one and see how long it lasts.

>>18164547
I just had tofu on broccoli slaw. Hell yeah im cuttin down no more meat bros. I buy meat when i get paid

>>18167426
His name is Rick O'Connell you retarded zoomer

>>18168179
Kek go look at the price tags in a store, some place not shitty lists them all. And then you'll realize all of those stupid drink mixes are a huge ripoff.

>>18164689
I don't understand why you engage. Just vote, cross your fingers it goes okay and buy guns in case it doesn't.

>>18168479
Yes, I understand stores price their goods. What I mean is comparing how long one bottle lasts me compared to a 12 pack of soda, and determining the difference in price. I say that because one bottle could last different people different lengths of time.

>>18164547
I've been buying more than ever. Live it up while you can

>>18164547
I used to buy boneless skinless chicken breasts but not any more.Also used to buy the occasional ribeye but that's done too.

>>18164547
have you tried not being poor?

if you had to seriously cut down on food, you were either eating overpriced food or you overeat.

>>18164547
>expensive now
>now

>>18171529
Have you tried getting a job, useless faggot-san?

I eat less actual food and drink the same amount of alc.

>>18171616
I quit drinking too :^(

>>18164639
>ackshully its not his fault!!
Cry me a river.

>>18164547
no but i only buy protein that's on sale. i also shop at multiple stores. actually i did this before inflation hit because i enjoy saving money. it's like a game to me. it feels good to win.

>>18164547
I didn't cut down on calories but I'm basically just eating a lot of beef mince now since I can still get it for $4 an lb (organic)

I actually started making more money in the past 6 months so it's kind of evened out.

>>18172426
Money is a zero sum game. It comes in here, it goes out there.

>>18172392
Four dollars an pound?

Just bought this. Ate the waffle part and threw out the other part. That’s the only reason I bought it in the first place.

>>18172582
>He thinks monetary policy is based in reality

>>18164639
True. Inflation is happening all over the globe. Americans really do only think about themselves.

for me its picrel

>>18173149
Sorry. Money is very real at my level of poorfaggotry.

>>18173368
Have you tried not being poor?

Disability is a bitch

>>18173405
Just marry a rich pervert, there's probably some faggot out there with a fetish for whatever is wrong with you

>>18173414
I don't think kidney failure would be considered sexy

No I eat as much as I ever have, I just don't cook beef and lamb as much

>>18173416
You've obviously never been to DeviantArt

>>18173422
Jacking off to dialysis? I can't see it.

>>18164547
I’m a vegetarian now I guess.
A lot of eggs and cottage cheese.

No I still eat takeout every day and never cook

>>18172392
Ground beef is $9.50/lb anywhere within five miles of me

>>18173563
that's crazy
where do you live?

>>18173566
NJ across the river from NYC.

>>18173569
well yeah
your income is probably 2-3x higher than average for the rest of the country

>>18173569
Secaucus? Weehauken? Hoboken?

>>18173574
Sadly the increase in salary does not match the increase in cost of living.

>>18173608
Same here
I got a 7% raise this year and it doesn't matter

>>18173577
Hoboken

>>18173655
Sinatra Land! My best friend (F) was born there.

>>18173318
Do Americans really sleep face down at tidelines?

>>18164547
Are you 800 pounds or something?
For people who live in their mothers basement you sure are sine broke niggas

>>18173803
No, but Syrian refugees do

>Pork shoulder used to be 1.57 a pound at the local grocer
>Now almost 3.20 depending on where you go
Fuck me dead, pork shoulder has no business being 24 dollars a pack. Still super cost effective when used in the right dishes but goddamn.

>>18173563
That's crazy. I'm in Fort Lee and paid 4 something/lb for ground beef the other day.

Maybe this will cure the obesity epidemic

>>18164547
I used to eat 2 sausages, 2 fried eggs, 1 fried potato, pasta and mayo for most of my meals in tough times. About 1.5€ a day

>>18175146
You're good at banter NOT

>>18173209
Says the anon who wants us to pretend we didn't see the inflation and trade policy mismanagement before Ukraine.

>>18176382
Yeah, before the Ukraine war came Covid.
I couldn’t find a sticker of Covid saying I did that!

>>18173209
Inflation is happening all over the world because when America suffers the rest of the world does too. The same thing happened when Obama was president: the US went into recession, and then 6 months later the rest of the world did too.

>>18176882
Covid already did a lot of damage worldwide then the war made things even worse. They predicted this as soon as the war started.

>>18164547
all burger people have enough fat reserve in their bodies to last at least 4 years without food
so why would you worry

>>18173209
Americentrism

>>18176340
Your mom loves you NOT
