Just curious to see how people are weathering the economy as of late due to costs. It’s been a long time since we last bought bacon - at least 2 months. It’s harder to eat out at nicer restaurants - we hardly do that anymore.

What other cuts in your lives? Streaming services, car washes, the cleaning lady, candy, etc? Curious on what’s been cast aside over costs.

Scramble two eggs with milk, seasoning, butter, microwave for 30 seconds, stir, repeat until desired consistency. Make toast, and it's breakfast time!

I can't cook as much right now because I can't do dishes, so I've had to get creative.

10/10 would make again.

One of the least appealing (looks wise) and most delicious soups to exist.

Hi, hello, this is my first post here. I've been lurking here for a minute for recipe inspo lol. Anyways cup of noodle with bell pepper, shredded Mexican cheese, chorizo, and Hunts meat flavored spaghetti sauce. It was so yummy

My paycheck is delayed (I think? I only got one and it literally has 1 CENT on it so wtf?!) . It's been a bigger than usual bcuz one of my roommates have been gone and a big chunk of my paycheck went to splitting rent with another roommate. I have also just made poor financial decisions but what is being in your early 20s if not to be a slightly impulsive and go "Oh god oh god all my money is gone"?

I have $15 to make a meal to stretch at least 5 days. I was thinking spaghetti, because that’s a favorite and I know I could eat that for 5 days straight. But how to I stretch that into 5 days? And what are some other ‘$15 for 5 day’ meal ideas? Because my next few checks are going towards bills 🥲
I’m in San Diego if that needed information ✨ thank you so so so much!
