Yup, I load up on my soup for the year at the can-can sale. I'll usually have it for lunch once or twice a week. Full price its like 4 bucks a can, when it does go on sale outside of the can can, its still around 3 bucks.

Its about a buck during the can can sale.

Same thing for stuff like tomatoes, beans, etc. I'll buy a few cases of stuff, stack it in the basement, and get through the year with it.

Also handy to have around if you have a bad storm or whatever.

Also if you have the space, get a chest freezer. When stuff like french fries or whatever go on sale, we load up on them. They will last a long time if stored right.

Took the train back in the day to college. Got tired of real fast. You just started using trains. Watch when you get those annoying delays shit sucks. Like when you want to go home you get out early and during midday even was a long wait depending on the time like half hour. But not that long. Then imagine if there is a delay, you got out early now stuck waiting. Also, you get constant delays at times. For one day the train is 15 minutes late. One day 30 minutes late. Your dependent on someone's schedule all the time. Your a prisoner can't leave when you want and just go home. The worst is nighttime if you had a late class. There was like one train and had to wait like 49 minutes for it. After that, there was one like an hour later. Many times you caught waiting a half hour. Then shit if you want to eat and are hungry but you want to get home on time ughhh.

Shit forgot to mention the shuttle to the train, which has delays too. Your first dependent on that schedule then the train. At night the shuttle doesn't come to every 5 minutes. Takes fucking forever.

Couple with a kid.

The weekly bill at shoprite is usually between 250-300 bucks. We eat out usually once a week, i work from home, wife takes her lunch to work from home 4 out of 5 times a week usually. Kid is half and half.

Then on top of it is usually a monthly costco run for some bulk stuff which is a couple hundred bucks.

I don't do a ton of coupon clipping, and we go with brands we know and prefer for most things, so there is some savings to be had if we dialed it up a bit. We also do our best to eat healthy so a lot of the cost is fresh stuff. You have to be pretty diligent about your meal planning if you don't want to waste a ton of stuff.

Like, tomorrow night i am having chicken fajitas for dinner. I really don't want them, i've honestly been meh about it all week knowing that is what it would be, but if i don't have them, about 20 bucks in food is going to get tossed, and then we will spend whatever on what we do eat. So fucking fajitas it is.

Care to share your business name or website?

(Mods can you please pin their comment above? And that they're in Lafayette, with preference to be reached out to when you're in the area?) ((Not sure if that's asking too much or if this is how that works - apologies if so/not.))

Vince made trophies as well as running a rest area?? I guess this was before tolls were invented. Tolls are a license to print money. I'll bet Donnie Trump could go bankrupt with a till Rd like he did with the Taj.
