Someone hasn't seen the price of nails recently...

Dog food, delicious!
Good and cheap is a free cookbook based on the food stamp budget of $4 per day. It’s a free pdf from many sources including the authors website if you sign up for a newsletter or something and paper copies are very inexpensive.
That's based on 2024 prices. I'd say it's probably $8-12 / day based on food price inflation.
I'm sure it's still a good book, though
The food inflation isn’t evenly distributed across all groceries. I hit $6 a day with little snacks and workout oriented meals with greater caloric content and higher Q factor in a bunch of different ways.
If you want to bring down your own grocery bill and go from zero to sixty on cooking at home I can’t recommend that book highly enough. You don’t have to suffer.
E: oh yeah, the book title and premise are based on 2015 prices too.
Dogfood would be $3.01
You can get dog food for $1 a can? Please let me know where, best I can find is $3.
Worth mentioning that RatX is corn gluten meal and salt, it is harmless to humans.
How does it work to kill rats?
Uh, in a kinda fucked up way ngl:
RatX® coats the lining of a part of the rodent’s lower gut. This coating of the “fine hairs” in the lower gut, called villi, disrupts the messaging system to the rodents brain, causing it to stop drinking water. This leads to dehydration, blood thickening, kidney dysfunction, coma and eventual death. It also leads to a prcoess called "mummification", which means the body of the diseased rodent will dry out, rather than decompose normally. This means a 95% reduction in smell.
It should be noted that generally the suffering of dehydration is caused by the brain telling you you need to drink water, much like with breathing and eating. All in all it's a lot more humane than a lot of poisons.
That avocado has 2 weeks before it's ripe
Price of dog food really depends on the size of the dog, errr human. If you’re tall, the food budget is automatically higher. And that dog food looks wet, which is pricier than kibble. Perhaps tall people need to soak their kibble in water, to balance their budget. Short people get the privilege of eating wet food, which is tastier. Not that I’ve tried or anything.
Sell my bucket of rusty nails, buy some bacon
Good one. I was stuck on 2 of the onion rings and some dog food.
Only works once, unless you have a lot of rusty nails.
You can definitely get 3 bullets for a dollar in case two are duds
If I have an avocado + rat poison and I throw it up, I get $2 back after the restocking fee, right?
Beef jerky + chicken nuggets.
$3 per person for a family of 3.
But l get your point.
You're not trying to do a socialism are you?
Beef jerky + chicken nuggets.
$3 per person for a family of 3.
Maybe in the US, but here in Denmark, beef jerky is a specialty item and costs as much by weight as instant coffee, sometimes more!
in the u.s. for common mass-market brands of each, that is also true. about the same price by weight.
dehydrators are not terribly expensive, and jerky isn't difficult to make at home.
Does Denmark use a dollar as currency?
That is clearly bacon.
I'd take the rat poison. It's gonna give me food poisoning, true. But at least it's honest about it. With the other "foods" you'll get food poisoning too, but they don't sell themselves as poison, so I find it dishonest and not worth of my money.
It would just be straight up poisoning, and you would die
You really should be cooking your bacon longer or at a higher temperature if its giving you food poisoning. If its crispy its safe to eat.
Now you only find out about it much later. After you’ve had apple sauce with cinnamon, and wonder why you felt so ill afterwards.
Guys it's a fraud the bag that says "RAT" on it does not actually contain any rats :(
I hate that this is becoming more realistic. Fuck this shit ass economy. We are getting utterly fucked.
Dog food isnt that bad if tou get the right one. I hate the taste but there are actual dishes that i like less so thats a thing.
$3 is 11 loafs of bread worth
You getting scammed with the other food
Ah, yes, 11 loaves of bread per meal, a perfect and balanced diet.
funny while i searching for mouse traps/bait that particular brand isnt good against mice, let alone rats.
I don't get it. Is a row or a column supposed to add up to $3?
You have $3 to spend and can pick any combination of items. The items in the top row cost $5 each, the items in the middle row cost $4 each, and the items in the bottom row cost $1 each.
Spoiler
Since you only have $3, you can only afford to choose from items in the bottom row.
Yeah that's what it seemed like. I guess I just didn't really get the joke. Maybe it's an existing format this is playing off
can't do the rat pellets either, unless you and a bunch of your buddies, who also each have three bucks for lunch, are gonna share a bag.
