Anybody see anything that can be trimmed? I'm honestly surprised that their food budget isn't more ridiculous than it is
Here's another one for y'all to brainstorm:

This is $155 worth of food.

This $155 isn’t even a weeks worth of meals.

This $155 got us 3 days of meals, 4 if we have sandwiches one night.

This $155 got drinks that will last 3-5 days.

This $155 got us snacks that will last not a week.

This $155 would have gotten us DOUBLE this a year ago.

This $155 is what a 13.9% inflation on meats/poultry looks like.

This is what $155 is what 7% inflation on veggies looks like.

This $155 worth of groceries, is what INFLATION LOOKS LIKE.

This year is the largest increase in food prices since 1981!

Last federal wage increase? 2009 How much is minimum wage? $7.25 ($2.13 for servers!)

Average median for monthly rent in 2020? $1,164!

Electricity cost have increased by average of 11%!

Water bills have increased the most, by 43%! Yes I said 43%, the highest it’s been in at least a decade.

Daycare for one child is roughly $10k per year! That’s a 5% increase in ONE YEAR.

Yet we’re expected to live, to support our families, on todays salaries?
Even at $21 an hour w/ a free sitter? You’re living pay check to paycheck.
Don’t even get me started on gas prices! $1.40 higher than it was this time last year. $30 doesn’t even get my van to a half a tank now, $40 used to fill 16 gallons completely!

We cannot live like this! While y’all up in your mansions with chefs. We in the trenches set up for failure from the start! Generational wealth is practically non existent! You can’t save a nest egg for emergencies now a days. They want us to get loans, to go into more debit. They’ve destined people for failure and it hasn’t fazed them yet.

I’m done ranting. 😩🤦🏽‍♀️

Ignore that he keeps calling them "bees."

Word on the street is this is how these hornets were introduced to the PNW
Anybody want a $1,900 a month one bedroom near Grand Rapids?

Though I suppose that might be cheap for a "luxury" apartment. I'll be honest, though.... I'm really not even sure what that means
You could own a potentially structurally sound, potentially structurally unsound, decaying wall in DC for $46k.

Just think of the mural you could put up
> You can make this burger with only 4 ingredients!
> Lists 6 ingredients
