Thirding this so hard. people who haven't had to make their food budget stretch this way just don't really know what they're talking about in my opinion. When you stand in the frozen food section and try to justify buying the frozen patties that are $0.60 each and taste good instead of the ones that are $0.45 and taste like sawdust and grease, but you're not sure you can justify it. I vividly remember those days, and I wouldnt have eaten that slop if I could've afforded anything else. :/

AYRT - I swear to god I've had this moment!

And yeah, I think there's a big difference between the prepackaged crap you buy when you can afford other food but you're being lazy, and the stuff you buy when you're poor. I mean, I literally don't buy any of the same stuff I used to? I still buy prepackaged crap sometimes but now it's like, Campbell's chunky soup or fancy stir-fry frozen veggie mix with snow peas and fucking watercress in it, you know? The stuff I buy now isn't cost efficient, and I'm aware of that. But the nasty barely-even-food stuff I used to buy out of necessity really was the cheapest you could get.

It sounds like you don't have to eat that way anymore either? High five for no more sawdust burgers!

It really depends a lot on where you live. Not every country has this ridiculous disconnect where pre-packaged id cheaper than fresh ingredients so it's hard to believe if you're not from one of those countries where that's the case. I know I was pretty weirded out by how insanely expensive fresh produce is in the US (and don't get me started on the prices for fresh fruit in Japan).

DA - Yeah, it's pretty awful the way a lot of countries (including my own) basically sentence their poor to horrible nutrition by necessity.

I bought a medium-sized green bell pepper a couple of days ago, from Walmart, and it cost me a dollar forty. Admittedly peppers are on the pricier end for produce, but it's not like most of the other vegetables are particularly cost effective.

And even in the US it really depends on where you are. I can go to the local farmer's market and get nice fresh produce for cheap because there are a lot of small local farms within just a couple of hours of where I live.

When I was in Hawaii years ago the farmers' markets were practically giving away local bananas and avocados (but the grocery stores had bananas flown in from Central America that were more expensive than the Central American bananas in stores on the mainland). Where I live, the fresh fruit and veggie prices are *highly* seasonal.
