If You Were Given $300 For Pocket Money For A Month, How Long Could You Make It Last?

@GeniUs I’ve watched videos of a man who does an experiment of limiting himself to 1 pound a day for grocery money and he manages to make something nourishing to eat every meal. Where there’s a will there’s a way.

@GeniUs £240 UK? That's about $400 here in Australia... Inflation most be bad there, huh?

@cherokeepatti First thing I'd buy is a kilo of cooking bacon which is the offcuts that don't look nice but are generally still good to eat, sometimes you get a chewy bit. There's enough meat there for 4 meals easily (£1.60). I buy it anyway so no change there! 😃

@Thevy29 Things have increased in price about 20%, they're blaming all sorts of things except 'the greed of big companies' which is the primary reason.

@GeniUs yes even some restaurants are tacking on several types of surcharges such as supply line interest charges or inflation charges to the bill after the food is ordered from the menu. I think that sort of thing should be illegal. If they want to raise the prices then put it on the prices on the menus. Don’t want to print up new menus? Get some white stickers and write the new prices on it and put it on the menus. Geez

@cherokeepatti Agreed the US is shocking for that, at least in the UK it's all in one. Having said that went out for a meal (not something I do a lot of it was with a club) and a double burger with chips cost £12! And it was almost plain as they'd run out of gherkins and sauce. I had to make another meal when I got home.

@GeniUs eating out in restaurants is probably where the bulk of the money is going. I can cook at home for a fraction of what restaurant meal costs and have leftovers for the next meal. I’ve eaten a can of beans when i didn’t feel like cooking or fried a couple of eggs or made a simple sandwich.

@cherokeepatti at least you didn't eat an egg you didn't feel like cooking , that's how i eat meat balls and gravy and ravioli , right outta the can , delicious

@FurryFace If I was hungry enough I’d make scrambled eggs. I had scrambled eggs and canned peas for lunch just now and that’s good enough for me.

@cherokeepatti @FurryFace worthy of a thread in it's own right, 'what do you eat when you don't feel like cooking?' When I was really sick last year I had several meals of boiled rice, peas and gravy.
