It's comical how little money it takes to keep yourself alive foodwise

[Deleted member 2382]

Since I am now paying market price for my rent for the first time in my life I have decided I will need to cut back on my grocery spending since I still need to save some additional money for surgery and don't wanna sell my investments while market is down

In 2021 I was on NEETbux so decided to treat myself and would often spend up to €5 per day on junk food buying lidt Lindor boxes and Ben&Jerrys tubs
I spent approx €100 per week on groceries but I now plan to reduce that to €50 per week (this incudes occasional clothes purchases)
I can easily limit my junk food consumption to a 750g tub of cheap brand nutella per week which costs €2
They also sell top tier yogurts in Belgium Lidl which cost 25cent for 150g, I buy 3 of them per day so it costs 75cent.

I've also reverted back to pasta meals which I gave up in 2021 due to getting bored of it after years of using it to bulk but it is legit for keeping you alive for a low price

Don't buy nutella or make sure the one you're eating doesn't contain palm oil. Orangutans are threathened with extinction due to excessive deforestation of oil palm for human consumption

I can't understand how my family can stay alive on their slave diet. They eat ridiculously small portions, and almost only sugar and wheat. It gives you energy so you won't feel hungry, but I don't want to know how a blood test would look like. Probably deficient in every single vital micronutrient, yet they still live jfl

nutella is probably the most unhealthy food there is it's just palm oil and sugar

oatmeal, tuna, peanut butter, milk, eggs, pasta, this was basically my diet back when i was broke in college. insanely cheap and full of nutrition

They just don't care. I tried to tell them they should eat healthier and they will be sick less often, a couple years ago. But I don't want to annoy them so I don't bring the topic up anymore.

Not necessary a good thing, though. Ramen noodles, bread, junk food, cereal .etc are cheap. It's just that they have very few micro nutrients & will bloat you real quick because of numerous things like excessive carbs, sodium, hormones, PUFAs .etc

It's better to keep it safe and go for healthy foods like animal products.

Sugar good

 

[Deleted member 2382]

I will consume 1 banana, 500ml orange juice and an apple per day. Maybe I will get peas and carrots as well
I started eating peas again last year which was a step up from my zero veg uni days
I haven't drank milk in the last 10 days because I dislike the UHT milk here and I don't feel much different
I don't know if dropping milk will be a positive or negative overall

Honestly healthy premium food is such a costly Cope.

Just buy the cheapest stuff and throw in occasional multivitamins
