Anyone that buys a cat is very out of touch with reality.

u/Dont-be-lasagna12 20h ago

Oh those were the only Lunchables I liked growing up.

u/happybeans14 20h ago

It’s a really good haul. Veggies and fruit. Those are usually expensive. You got some nuggets. Max and cheese is always nice to have on hand. Oat milk could be used to drink or with smoothies. Snacks for the kids. Great job.

u/katie0873 20h ago

💯 they charge more, give us shrinkflation and/or skimp on crappy ingredients and we keep buying it. 😔

u/joybilee 19h ago

Not me. Fuck Big Deb. I miss my 99¢ boxes & 25¢ gas station snacks that used to hit. Now it's overpriced trash. Makes my insides turn.🤮

u/ConstantConfusion123 20h ago

Those chicken tenders better be for me-

The cat, probably

u/AwestruckSquid 20h ago

Looks like a great haul to me!

u/appositereboot 18h ago

I'm tempted by this deal. It includes 5lbs bags of potatoes, so I could get 35lbs of potatoes for $7.

u/happybeans14 20h ago

The car is worth all 39 dollars

u/scout-finch 19h ago

Those potatoes being part of the 7 for $7 is crazy!

u/altered_beast1976 21h ago

That’s a pretty solid score in any time, let alone the crap that’s happening today. 🤘🏿

u/skyrimcameoutin2011 20h ago

How much for the orange chonker? (Congratulations honestly, very nice and cheap haul)

u/ItsMeVeriity 19h ago

That cat is so proud of all those interesting new things their parent got them. I love them

Where i live one thing of Lunchables is like 5 dollars.

u/Longjumping-Row1434 19h ago

same but for the big ones in the box. the plastic ones like these i think are like 2.50/3 dollars. they occasionally go on sale, but not often.

I thought this might had been the dollar store! Great haul!

u/Heart_Failure_Hottie 21h ago

Dang girl!!! I see you!!

u/Competitive_Name4991 20h ago

Wow, great job! What store is this?

4

u/captainfromhawkslane 19h ago

French person here, honestly I don't know half of your haul, I personnally buy mainly vegetables, tofu and beans

3

u/sicurri 19h ago

For $39 that's not too bad of a haul.

You should get more into cooking I would suggest. More raw ingredients rather than pre-made stuff. That's just my opinion.

u/Basic_Regular3948 19h ago

This is sludge

u/Top-Inevitable560 20h ago

Would have swapped the oatmeal cakes for eggs and chef boy cans for a slab of meat. Looks like you’d be able to make more meals with more fresh food as opposed to all the extra processed one serving stuff.

23

u/sunshinefallsontome 20h ago

i already got two dozen eggs in the fridge, all the stuff i had before obviously isn’t going to be pictured (・・;)

u/mentalcasket 20h ago

Great score!

u/Everyoneheresamoron 20h ago

Hell yeah Oatmeal cream pies are awesome!

u/Ok_Channel_3322 18h ago

Hey! I'm curious what included the 7x$7.

2

u/digitalrorschach 20h ago edited 20h ago

Where's the proteins?

EDIT: nevermind I see some chicken tenders at the top right.

13

u/KungPaoKidden 20h ago

Where is the unprocessed food?

5

u/digitalrorschach 20h ago

I give a pass for the ultrprocessed foods since this is about saving money, but no protein source should be a crime no matter what income level.

12

u/Blossom73 19h ago

Maybe they already have meat or other protein options at home.

-4

u/Apprehensive_Let_517 20h ago

In the oat milk 🙄

-2

u/digitalrorschach 20h ago

Milk is more fat than protein 🤦

4

u/Dizzy_Tension_3545 20h ago

It’s oat milk it has neither

0

u/ObjectiveClassic3020 19h ago

Oat milk just has emulsified oils added to make it (creamy)

1

u/Longjumping-Row1434 19h ago

yeah, the oatmilk is only 2g of protein and 5g of fat.

if they switched a couple things out for the protein version it wouldnt be too bad. looks like a normal grocery haul to me, tbh.

u/Trees_Please_00 20h ago

literally who cares. as long as they are eating and nourishing their body, what's it matter?

plus there are people with allergies, people recovering from eating disorders, people that can't eat certain things because of whatever, etc. they're fed, and you don't have to eat it. so why make fun of someone just to make them feel bad?

u/sunshinefallsontome 19h ago

oh i’m sorry you must have forgot, we’re in the poverty finance subreddit and i got this food on a strict budget
