Gee, it’s almost like corporations are gouging consumers so badly that their market advantages are being lost due to greed. Inflation this quickly isnt real. It’s what happens when you come off a global pandemic with millions dead and corporations see they can freely abuse you by exploiting the public zeitgeist that prices are going up due to inflation.
A bag of rice, soy sauce, sugar, some cabbage and some chicken will make you more and better food than any fast food restaurant.
When I was struggling, I made meals, mostly from the microwave. Make Chinese food in bulk homie. Freeze some of it in packs so you don’t have to eat the same meals every meal.
Going to a fast food restaurant is not saving you money, even before McDonald’s raised their prices.
2min noodles, 1 scoop of protein powder and a multivitamin. Eat smart
50% of your daily sodium intake and really expensive pee does not sound all that smart to me. Not saying it is untenable, just not really all that healthy. To make it healthy you would have to get the most expensive noodles, Whey protein powder, and something other than a multivitamin as most of the content of those are water soluble which means that the excessive amounts you are ingesting are not retained by your body. If you were to cut it in half and take them half a day apart you would get more mileage out of it.
The multivitamin is a replacement for vegetable. I could try replacing it with one of those veggie shakes but they’re expensive. Maybe I grind 100g of mixed veggies and slam that.
I do something similar, but minus the powder. I blend kale, garlic, spinach and pesto and blended in a blender and then mix it with some Chinese noodles. Then I freeze it into blocks and put it in the freezer. I microwave it for 2 minutes and it’s a meal.
I might try that because I’m always looking for easy meals.
