whipping cream, hair gel, and multi use paper

@Jacob do you mean whipped cream?

no

? what is whipping cream made out of?

oh it was actually heavy cream

but whipping cream is similar

huh, today I learned https://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/53663/what-is-the-difference-between-whipped-cream-and-whipping-cream

how much do you guys spend on groceries per week?

When I was in college, I guess 100-120

$30

Dollar tree produce

oh I actually meant to ask per month, but luckily I know how to multiply so it's fine

I specifically don't pay attention to that so I don't restrict myself worrying about money

I don’t know where it’s been and I don’t wanna know

@Jacob $60/week on groceries

I try to do around $75 a week, including going to restaurants

I count that in the same budget

@ThisIsChris gosh dude you were living luxury

Were you guys eating out all the time?

$480 per month😬

Idk maybe it's being in NYC

Was who eating out all the time?

I count eating out in my same calculation as groceries

hm

If I spend more on eating out, I try to spend less on groceries to make up

I probably spend at least $700 a month groceries and eating out. But I have a wife and 3 kids.

...but all black comedy shows are a dime a dozen. 🤔

Frozen vegetables are a great way to eat healthy and live on little money.

>eating plants

$30 of meat, frozen veggies and a bag of rice was my college grocery shopping

plain greek yogurt typically always has sales - it's high protein

>Asian food market

I've spent $146 so far this month on food and drinks, and that includes about $70 spent eating out at IE meetups

Did you know that IE meetups are 14% of my schedule but commit 55% of my grocery budget?

@Jacob I didn't before but now I do

It's money well spent. Food is fine, but food and fellowship is fantastic.
