whenever i see some shady-as-hell infographic about how cheap it is to eat healthy it’s like… do you people know about mac and cheese? like why are you comparing everything to big macs when mac and cheese exists. a box of super cheap mac and cheese costs about forty cents. for a buck you can get enough margarine to make eight boxes of mac and cheese. a half-gallon of milk is like a buck fifty and that’s sixteen boxes of mac and cheese. so like $3.20 for mac and cheese plus $1 for margarine plus $1.50 for milk and now you have about sixteen meals (assuming two meals to a box) with enough milk left over for a box of cereal that you probably also got for $1. $6.70 and you’re set for the week. another two bucks will get you a loaf of white bread and a jar of peanut butter, another variation on the continuing theme of eating nothing but carbs and fat. that’s the fucking baseline you’ve got to compete with if you’re going to convince me that it’s fiscally feasible for someone who’s broke as shit to switch to a healthy diet, not the goddamn dollar menu.
This ^^^
I’ve been looking at food prices lately and some mac and cheese is cheap as shit. Not to mention protein from canned food can also be cheap. Classists seem to willfully ignore cheap food that’s not at a fast food place.
don’t forget instant ramen which is about $0.50 per pack and all you need is hot water.
