LPT: instead of throwing your playstation away after each game, try turning it off and on again to choose a new game.
- Then the Playstation gets dusty and soggy. Better to replace it after each use.
  
  You can put it in the fridge and It will be okay to play on for a couple more days.
- ......i just want to point out that you havent needed to power off a videogame console to change games since the original playstation in 1997 (or whenever that was, my memory of the Before Times is hazy)
  
  Even better! More reason not to throw it away in this environmentally conscious age.
- Ew. What are you, poor?
  
  It's not about money - I get them free from the local weekly charity giveaways - it's about the environment. Did you know that PlayStations contain more plastic than half a toothbrush? And manufacturing ten of them uses more energy than five perforated toilet rolls?
  Every time you throw away a PS5, another penguin dies.

Don't be foolin. That's obviously avocado toast you got hidden back there.
- Are avocados not free, sorry I'm Californian, I survive off avocado toast because it's the cheapest thing
  
  I love the season when they're 6 for a dollar. Lol

Typical big box shopper. My local farmers market only carries Nintendo Switches. Can easily keep your grocery bill under $400.

Name brand cheese and peanut butter?

WHO BUYS 3 SEPARATE BANANAS
- One for scale?
  
  The what? The what?
  The eye that doesn't see the sun
- If that pisses you off, you should come to the store I work at. I shit you not, they sell INDIVIDUALLY PLASTIC-WRAPPED potatoes.
  Wasteful dicks.
  
  Is there any benefit of doing that?
- Honestly I need to start doing that. Most of the time when I buy a whole bunch of like 5 or 6 bananas, the last two end up brown and gross before I can eat them.
  
  I'm talking about buying them separately in contrast to buying them connected(no matter how many you get). If you will peel them before they get too bad, you can chop them up short ways or put them on a stick whole then freeze, they make good ice cream substitutions.
- Here's a trick: bring a small knife to the supermarket. Separate the bananas you want to buy and nip out the tips where they were joined. This will remove 3 grams of banana that you would have paid for. Every self made billionaire knows this trick.
  
  Master, there's a man teaching blasphemy in the temple!!!!

2 gallons of milk?! that’s just reckless
- That's not milk, that's white colored water...
  
  That's not milk, that's white colored water...
  🙄
  “If the milk has all the proteins that make milk useful but doesn’t have fat, it isn’t milk!”
  Don’t skimshame! There’s nothing wrong with perverts drinking whatever they want!
- They probably have two baby cows to feed
- He'll run out of milk halfway to next grocery trip. Some people really be living on the edge

Food: $200
Data: $150
Rent: $800
Games, comics, anime, and Funko Pops: $9,210
Utilities: $150
Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this, my family is dying.
- I'd say cut on rents, go homeless, get a tent. Best way to save money... also, you can spend that more on animes figurines ;)
- That's way too much on food. I recommend dumpster diving to cut that down.

The issue here is you buy 3 bananas instead of a bunch or two, it's cheaper that way.
- It's one banana. How much would you save? $10?
- Is it? Where do you live that bananas aren't just sold by the pound (or insert other regional weight measure)?
  
  Yeah for me they're usually sold as "each", so the bundle is just proportionally more.

I man, do you really need sunflower seeds AND spinach?
- Yes. Put some seeds in a spinach salad and thank me later.

The real outrage is not buying any games
- They probably got the digital only consoles
  
  The PS5 box is the original disc drive model. It'd be black if it were the digital drive-less model

this meme is ripe for dogwhistle material, enjoy it while it lasts

The font on the teabag box is the font I would expect to see if a multiplayer game added a “you’ve just been teabagged!” notification feature

I'll admit, that took me a minute

Sunflower seeds? You utter ANIMAL!!! Must be nice to be rich.

You’ve been had. For that price the jif should either have transparency or be animated.

Ditch the X, get the P
- ditch the P, get the D

80 tea bags?? I can justify 40, but 80???
- I have 9 cups per day, so 80 is too few for me in fact
  
  Have you tried reusing them? When they are still relatively fresh you can brew them 2-4 times depending on the quality
- They come in a package of 200 for me. My mother gave me all her new tea bags. I will have enough till next year.
- 40 teabags? What, are you shopping for more tea twice a day?

Must be them bananas.... They are awfully expensive nowadays

Must live in Guam.

Who knew an Xbox and Sony product was classified as groceries.
- By jove! I think you've stumbled across the punchline! Well done, my good fellow. Well done!
  
  I love this response.
