Protip for PF. Stop buying snack food and prepared food. It’s not only terrible food, it’s also pricey. I buy bulk meat( and freeze), and rice, from Sam’s club, as well as weekly 2lb bags of broccoli florets, and 2paks almond milk. Bulk lentils from indian store. Buy less than $10 woth of odds and ends weekly from local grocery. My monthly food bill is about a $100. It was about $85 before recent inflation. I feel like i eat really well, and don’t feel undernourished

Let people eat what they want.

Pro tip: if you post your grocery haul on this sub with a bag of chips, someone is going to come for you over it.

But we’re in a poverty finance sub. It’s hard for me to watch people buy this stuff, when they are already struggling. Their money can go a loth further, and they can also eat better.

Then don't look! Seriously! Download RES for Reddit for your preferred browser, and turn on the setting that when you downvote, hides the content from your view. BAM! You can use that to restrain yourself from seeing content that offends your personal sensibilities and get on with your life!

That's their business, not yours.

Isn’t the point of poverty finance to try to get tips for being better with your finances while impoverished? I understand he could have been less judgmental about junk food generally, but giving some tips on how to save money seems like the point of the sub.

Flair says "Success/Cheers" not "Critique my eating habits"
