      Not going to lie, I call this the “fuck we’re out of bread” when she says she wants a hot dog. I don’t care for hot dogs much, but I just leave them in the freezer door and they last.

        What a privilege it is to live in walking distance to a supermarket - this problem doesn’t even exist for me, being out of something just means I walk 4 minutes and buy it.

          I grew up across the street from a large grocery store, and around the corner from a convenience store, but still my mom would stockpile many months worth of stuff like flour, sugar, oats, spices, tea…

            I mean, if you manage to get good discounts and have spare room, I guess go ahead.

            I’d rather not pay for mass amounts of storage for what is usually a comparatively small saving on bulk purchases

      I mean, you’re not wrong.

      I grew up poor, in the US, mom had 0 cooking skill, mac and cheese and sliced hot dogs was pretty common.

      I can try to spin that positively as ‘at leasr I have more experience being broke than most people who are new to being broke’, lol.
