So, as I unload my groceries…100 calorie snack packs, lean cuisines, organic milk and produce, vitamin water (XX.X ) and smart water I look at my receipt and notice that I really spent 86 dollars…on WHAT!? I have, essentially, snacks, cereal (Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds) and beverages…Yet I spent 90 bux?! What the chuck, steve?!
I bet if I went to the grocery and bought oreos, kool-aid, pizzas, and pop-tarts, I’d have spent like 25. Got that Kroger brand water instead of Smart Water…ugh why does it cost so much to eat better? My mother said that I don’t bargain shop. But I like what I like? Is that my fault? I don’t buy the crazy diet foot, just lots of fruit and protien (in the form of fish)…Oh yeah I forgot to tell yall I’m doing this pescovegetarian thing. Shout out to Ash lol. I’m diging it so far, we’ll see how it works out in my life. No but seriously…these foods loaded with trans-fats are cheap as hell, and its not wonder college students get the freshman 15…the only food they can afford is loaded with fat, preservatives, and sodium. THEN we graduate get kicked off health insurance and start having problems with high blood pressure (no lie).
I bet fat kids have all the money…I guess it balances out because the thick girl/guy store clothes cost more. But damn…can a nword get a lb of apples for less than a thing of frosted pop-tarts (which are 400 calories per serving). Yeah man…I’ma have to just come up off the cash because putting junk into my body just doesn’t sit well with me.

I’m just like you … I like what I like. NO I don’t want the generic brand frozen meals, they don’t have the flavor I want so I will spend the extra cash. No I don’t what flakes with almonds, it don’t have no bunches, LOL. People just don’t understand.
I spend so much more money on fruits, veggies and healthy eating. Highway robbery. My best friend has been trader joes for certain organic things because that’s their specialty and they work to make it affordable. (plus I get to stock up on some 2 buck chucks, LOL)
Poor fat people. It really must be awful to be fat. They are perhaps the most discriminated against of any group that doesn’t have a word like “racist” to use to defend themselves. “Size-ist” is the closest thing I’ve heard.
Let me clarify…I don’t mean to offend bc I’m not skinty by any measure of the word…my friends and I use “fat kid” loosely and I suppose I don’t consider that it could offend or make others uncomfortable. In any case…nobody wants to call a spade a spade.
I remember when a week’s worth a food for a family of 5 was 100 bucks…and that was maybe 10 years ago!
Now I spend 120 easy on like 4 days worth of food.
And crazy as it sounds supperclubs, people on the other end of the spectrum get it too. Just like people can’t seem to loose weight easily, others can’t gain not matter how much we eat.
I get teased all the time. I’m 24 years old and am just out of kids sizes. To me it’s more accepted to have more pounds than less…we don’t even have stores dedicated to clothing us! I have to pay twice as much to buy clothes…once to buy them, and again to have someone remake it so it fits me…and people always disrespect me thinking I’m 10 years younger than I am.
The grass is greener.
