that's not even a quarter of the jars we have.

2018-01-28 20:49:08 UTC  

I would not reccoment doing stacking like that, looks like they would have a tendency to fall down on the ground and make a giant mess.

2018-01-28 20:49:12 UTC  

I have 2 gross jars I inherited from my grandma

2018-01-28 20:49:30 UTC  
2018-01-28 20:49:36 UTC  

Trust me the jars are stable. lol

2018-01-28 20:49:45 UTC  

For all you goys who played New Vegas. Watch that and rethink your life choices

2018-01-28 20:50:16 UTC  

@Odalman Like the one time I went to grab a jar of pickles at a wegmans then a jar of olives fell and smashed on the ground?

2018-01-28 20:50:37 UTC  

Well, be more careful.

2018-01-28 20:50:58 UTC  

FUK U

2018-01-28 20:51:27 UTC  

Hahaha

2018-01-28 21:00:08 UTC  

@Flaxxer I tend to side with Mr. House in NV.

2018-01-28 21:00:44 UTC  

I side with Caesar.

2018-01-28 21:00:57 UTC  

You can definitely survive on $20 food per week

2018-01-28 21:01:08 UTC  

Not sure if I would call it living though

2018-01-28 21:01:22 UTC  

@Hadrian You are living somebodies dream.

2018-01-28 21:01:46 UTC  

You can get enough calories with rice, beans, ramen etc but you'll develop nutrient deficiencies

2018-01-28 21:03:09 UTC  

There are always alternatives, they might not be as healthy as the more costly thing, but alternatives nonetheless.

2018-01-28 21:05:26 UTC  

There are good reasons why places where that's the norm have high rates of starvation, malnutrition and infant mortality

2018-01-28 21:07:25 UTC  

Hmm.....

2018-01-28 21:08:13 UTC  

Plus, $20 in India etc buys a lot more food than it would here

2018-01-28 21:09:41 UTC  

Well, that is probably because the indian currency is worth jackshit.

2018-01-28 21:10:19 UTC  

But the point still stands

Grocery stores have much higher markup too than the local bazaar

2018-01-28 21:12:11 UTC  

That is true, bazaars are usually just farmers, traders, scrappers and in some cases opium/poppy sellers.

2018-01-28 21:12:19 UTC  

Exactly

2018-01-28 21:12:41 UTC  

So it's much easier to live on $20 per week there than it is here

2018-01-28 21:12:42 UTC  

My wife and I shop at a lot of local Bazaars

2018-01-28 21:12:48 UTC  

Farmers markets etc

2018-01-28 21:12:57 UTC  

Save a ton of money and we get a better product

2018-01-28 21:13:03 UTC  

Are you saying 20 ruppee's, or twenty US dollars in india?

2018-01-28 21:13:23 UTC  

@Odalman Yhea, I would assume farmers markets could get you better deals than local stores.

2018-01-28 21:13:38 UTC  

Dollars

2018-01-28 21:14:43 UTC  

That would be the equivalent of over 1200 ruppee's, which could probably feed you for over a week.

2018-01-28 21:16:07 UTC  

Grocery stores charge for the food, property, cashiers, shelf stockers, refrigeration, transportation, management, electricity etc

2018-01-28 21:17:44 UTC  

Grocery stores are based on convenience not necessarily saving money.

2018-01-28 21:17:47 UTC  

Here is an interesting form I found for the average living costs in india. https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=India

2018-01-28 21:18:30 UTC  

As you can see, the prices are not very bad when you are converting them to the US dollar.

2018-01-28 21:18:52 UTC  

(But you have to take into account that most jobs in india will not pay you well at all.)

2018-01-28 21:23:21 UTC  

But god damn, you have to pay a ludicrous amount of money to even go to middle school or highschool.
