Why is food so expensive?
Daniel Martin
People need to boycott nationwide. We did it in the 1970s during the first big recession and it didn’t bring prices down but it resulted in coupons for meat, vegetables, fruit.
Dont buy anything you don’t really need. I was looking at one of those poverty subreddits the other day where people try to be frugal and a woman asked tips for bringing down her grocery bill. She was all, “After staples like paper towels, cleaning prodocts, storage bags…”and I was like “Why are you buying paper towels? You get a pack of 10 wash clothes and some dish towels from the dollar store. You reuse them. Reuse storage plastic bags, aluminum foil.”
They were like, “Eww that’s so disgusting.”
People….wash them. You wash and dry plastic bags, aluminum foil with soap and water. Wash the dishtowels that you use.”
We had a big spill one day and my husband runs to get paper towels. “We don’t have enough to sop it up!”
I grabbed a bath towel from the bathroom and sopped it up. “Ugh, the you put the bath towel on the floor, we have to get rid of it now.”
“No we don’t. We have to put it in washing machine. We dry our asscheeks with bath towels…at least I hope you dry your dick and your asscheeks or there’s going to be a fungus among us. A bottle of cranberry juice and some cat hair isn’t going to be able to overcome the power of detergent, agitation, hot water rinses and the dryer.”
The media though, used to publicize when consumer groups organized things like meatless Tuesdays and Fridays, stop buying cookies, cakes, pastries.
We have the internet and it’s only used for trolling. Everyone’s obsessed with porn, video games, comic book heroes and the actors playing them. Whores like Kardashians, nepo babies, singers talking about guns and pussies.
Nobody can think a serious thought except, “ima git my gun.”
Now only junk food has coupons. Everything is “Buy 3 of these, get 50¢ off.”
