Reply to comment by [deleted] in Alameda passes delivery fee cap even as Uber threatens exit by Xanthn

You said you have a mini fridge. Combined with dry ingredients, that's enough to hold a week's worth of unprocessed food that can be made into nutritious meals on the cheap. Many recipes are no cook, but rice cookers, crock pots, and a hot plate can go a loooooong way too. Look into getting groceries delivered, rather than take-out meals. It will be healthier and cheaper, but you'll have to put forth effort into meal planning and meal prep. I've walked this walk, and you can too. You could put $200-300 per month toward improving your situation: career training, transportation, job search, paying off debts, or any number of things that will improve your life more than delivery food.

So from your response I can tell you have no idea how little food can actually be stored in one of those. Do you know what happens when there isn’t enough airflow? The entire thing freezes. Yiu can store like 3 days worth of food in it max.

Please please tell me how some dumb fuck on Reddit knows my budget better than I

I don't know what to tell you, my commentary has nothing to do with your budget, only your choice to spend your income on a convenient luxury, and then complain on the internet as if it's your only option.

I used only a mini fridge for almost 3 years. In my view, having food delivered is a luxury. If you stop ordering all your food out for one month, you could afford at least another mini fridge, maybe even a used half-size. You really only need to keep certain ingredients refrigerated; recipes can be optimized for dry goods that don't need refrigeration and fresh vegetables that will keep for several days or more.

My breaker can’t handle two fridges are you literally special needs? You just want to continue feeding into this giving any explanation. I would literally throw a brick at your forehead if this was in person by now

Why are you insulting posters genuinely trying to help you?

There’s a difference between genuinely trying to help and being condescending. In the real world people get beat for less.

A second fridge is just an option, but like I said you can keep a week's worth of fresh ingredients in a mini fridge. Combined with dry goods, grocery delivery once a week would be both cheaper and healthier.

You're literally threatening violence because I calling out your self-righteous privilege "woe is me, I have to buy luxuries." Grt yourself in check, dude.
