I mean people do it, but it's a good example of poor tax. If you don't own a working refrigerator you have to go shopping like every other day or something, or just eat out, both of which are more expensive than buying and maintaining a fridge over the span of time you're going to own it, the fridge just requires more upfront capital which poor people don't have, so they end up paying more than people with a little more money.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

is it that expensive to eat out over there ?
or is it because your a picky, soy substrate eater that eats only expeensive soy meat ?

no, none of those.

I don't think you'll find an actual meal at a restaurant for less than $10 per person, $20 if you live somewhere more expensive. Most stuff you make at home will be significantly less expensive than that. -

Sadly, that's not always the case anymore. Even basic shit has gone up a ton in price. Chicken breast- $3.99 per lb. white rice- $2.99/ 3lb. Onion- $1. Carrots $1.49. Bell peppers- $1.99 each. At the end of these things, a meal for 2 people is often still $15 or so (and thats pretty basic shit). -
2019-01-27 at 5:12 AM UTCit's typically cheaper to eat out than to cook here unless you're cooking for 4 or so

2019-01-27 at 5:13 AM UTCYeah even chipotle or something over here is like $8-10. Dollar menu stuff is still $5 or so, because no god fearing American gets a si gel item off a dollar menu,

2019-01-27 at 5:14 AM UTCProcessed/ frozen foods have got up a bit in price, but I've really seen the price hit in meat and produce. Then again, I live in a fucking desert full of people with more money than they know what to do with, so could be some artificial forces at work.

I don't have a feel for meat prices since I don't buy meat, and I agree bell peppers are weirdly expensive for no apparent reason, but still eating at home I usually spend less than $5 for a meal amortized over leftovers and ingredients that span several dishes (e.g. soy sauce). And a big reason for that is I can cook a meal and keep it in the fridge for a couple of days, or I can buy a fat 25lb bag or rice at discount and use that for several months.
Also is there a restaurant nearby where you get two meals for less than $15? There definitely isn't around here discounting fastfood places, but I assume the goal here is a diet that won't reduce your lifespan by a decade or more.

Well it's probably true that if you cook a different meal every night you'll spend more than eating out with one person, but when I cook I usually make enough for three or four meals, even if it's just me, and have the leftovers the next day for lunch and/or dinner. I probably average $250 a month in groceries including things like snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, eat lunch out most of the time but that's still a month's worth of dinners at less than $10 a pop and I'm certainly not trying to optimize for cost (when you spend like 10 times your food budget on rent you quickly realize that trying to save at the market is not where you should be directing your attention). Back in my broke student days I got by on ~$20 a week in groceries, it was a dark period of my life eating the same meal every damn day just as a way to survive but honestly it was probably the healthiest diet I've ever had and spending less than 10-20 minutes a day on feeding myself allowed for a lot of time for other things.
Out of curiosity, do you end up eating at a restaurant every night? Dine with the family? Eating every meal out seems kinda weird to me, I can at see the situation where it makes sense but it seems like a very foreign way to live. -

10-20 doesnt sounds expensive. idk.
my formula is like if a days meal is less than 1/4 of a days wage, it cheap. -

It's just two of us, we probably cook/eat out about 50/50. It seems odd yeah, but from what I gather a lot of people either eat out or order food for delivery virtually every day (for dinner at least)
