Food Bank Time

Poor guy's so broke that he ran out of money for color.

And a final panel!

That won't even cover the Doordash charge.

[byteonbikes@slrpnk.net]

I don't understand why people use doordash or food delivery.

Especially people with limited funds.

[byteonbikes@slrpnk.net]

Places that limit free refills only say that because people try to abuse the system and load up a gallon container.

Those places, channel your inner boomer and feigning ignorance if you're caught.

As a Little Caesars fan who ordered $5 pizzas all the way up to 2021...

This was my wakeup call when everything got expensive.

[lovablesidekick@lemmy.world]

Me neither. My daughter's prior bf had $200 in the bank and ordered Wendy's from doordash. There's a strong treat-yoself mentality that says everybody deserves a little luxury and makes it practically immoral to be frugal or contradict the "healthy food is too expensive" gospel etc.

[toynbee@lemmy.world]

Wow. I didn't realize they had online ordering. The times, they are a-changing.

[inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I understand it for disabled people and I understand it for very busy people such as families with young kids but I don’t understand the majority of people who use it. Just go get it…

[w3dd1e@lemm.ee]

Also, it’s really hard to cook for one. I end up spending as much on food that goes bad before I can eat it as it would have cost me to get a $5 value meal.

[pika@sh.itjust.works]

I'm seeing that apparently but yeah, I'm up in Maine close to the border, almost every establishment that has those machines generally also have a sign that says no refill and I really can't think of any place here that advertises refills as free outside of coffee at dine in establishments.

[scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech]

Agreed. Amortized it much cheaper but when you have an empty kitchen with only a box of macaroni and cheese, getting groceries can feel very expensive.

[dan@upvote.au]

They usually have a coupon code for $7.99 for any footlong, which isn't too bad.

[swab148@lemm.ee]

You forgot about porn

I was taught cooking in school, graduated in 2014 is that far too long for your "taught anymore"?

[agent641@lemmy.world]

Damn straight. I could feed myself for a day on $5 easy.

I could even stretch it to a weeks worth of meals, if shoplifting is allowed.

[scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech]

I graduated in 2009 and my school didn't teach us

[agent641@lemmy.world]

My ex did, and was of limited funds. I think the answer is depression, apathy, and a good dose of financial illiteracy.

[rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Just when I’m drunk

[clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

$5.99 where I'm at. You're getting gouged.
