Yeah… People just need to start slurping down gruel for every meal and be happy about it. How dare someone complain about grocery store prices when I know for a fact they splurged on a bag of name brand potato chips last week! The poors are not just entitled but completely irresponsible. Don’t they realize simple luxuries like snacks are for rich people?
That's what a lot of people here and on reddit tell you when you say it's expensive to cook. Rice and beans, rice and beans, eat your rice and beans every day.
Thanks, I enjoy some occasional rice and beans, but I prefer having a will to live over eating beans every day.
You are not brasilian
I think you misinterpreted what I wrote? I’m not saying people SHOULD reduce their food spending, i’m saying they’ve been kind of forced to, and so in effect that’s why prices are going down. So it IS a supply and demand effect of some kind.
That's not at all what they said
