    Weird, I just had to do this with $65 and ended up getting it to $62 as the total. For a family of 4 for 4 days. It was hard and not the best options, but it worked.

    That stuff would be about $50 or less total in my area, but I wouldn’t buy any of those but the butter.

    I have seen someone grating cold butter and put it into a bowl with whiskey. Leave that in the fridge for a few days. The whiskey is supposed to taste better, and the butter was used for a whiskey buttercream cake.

    I like those groceries…except the soda is bad for you and expensive /wasting money. Ditch the soda for water which mixes with whiskey just fine. Also Coors is like making love in a canoe.

    I must say, the butter is the only one these I would actually buy. Even then, only if I was going to make toast or something. I use store brand butter for baking.

        Coke zero is worse for your health. Artificial sweeteners have pretty bad health effects, especially the one used in coke.

        It is heavily suspected of being able to cause, heart issues, and having the counter intuitive effect to actually make your brain want more sugar, because the complete sugar activation mechanism isn’t triggered properly. It is also slightly suspected to cause cancer, although researchers don’t agree at all on this subject.

            Diet and sugar-free sodas are all marketing BS. It’s all meant to get one to think it’s “healthy” rather than “less terrible”

            I’d agree otherwise, else Coke Zero wouldn’t exist I guess.

            Everyone cares for their health, they just think it’s “not that bad”, which it is in a way, but that depends on the level on health and risk you’re willing to have

              I’m not a doctor but my understanding of the topic is that it’s pretty clear : any soda is bad.

              Sure, a Coke a week, in a cocktail or otherwise, does not matter much but AFAIK people who buy entire packs (as in the photo) drink sodas at every meal and that’s unhealthy over long term, no matter what brand or type of soda it is.

              So assuming that’s a well known medical fact and people still do it, then one can say they do NOT care for their health, no?

          Uhm, source??

          I love how people just feel like artificial sweeteners must be bad for you. They’re okay. Not healthy, but way better than sugar.

          Also: Coke can still be kinda unhealthy, other ingredients etc…

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame

            For transparency, here is another page that seems more in favor of Aspartame: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy

            Here’s the conclusion of Yuka, which is a lot more on the “alarmist” side: https://help.yuka.io/l/en/article/r2x5e36paq-aspartame (note that the US FDA is considered as really lax compared to some other countries in Europe in terms of additives and health concerns worldwide)

            Many studies show that artificial sweeteners doesn’t help with weight loss at all

              Having less calories helps? Those ppl they studied likely didnt practice cico and ate more because they thought they saved calories from drinking less soda so they ended up at maintenence or over

              If they studied ppl who thought they were drinking regular soda but it was sugar free than youd see wight loss, but they were aware that it was sugar free and 0 calories so they ate more

                The links I listed are only about the artificial sweeteners, not sugar-free sodas

                But the main thing is: it makes you want more sugar, so you’ll end up consuming more, which doesn’t help or even makes weight regulation worse. You’ll end up getting the calories in a way or another, hopefully from good sources though

                In the situation that you are putting food flavorings in your lungs. Not made to go there… if you’re just vaping pure pg / vg that’s different. Look up popcorn lung for an example of why food flavorings should not be inhaled.

                  Popcorn lung was caused by vitamin e and was only seen through thc black market vapes, it seems you havent done your research, vaping has not been shown to cause popcorn lungs, ive actually seen tons of posts about this on reddit vaping with smarter ppl than me talking about it and posting studies. Cigs do cause popcorn lung. Its more a factory chemical thing tho

                  either way vaping is stupid if youve never smoked, in my case I had gotten into the really bad habit of bong rips with weed and tobacco and vaping made my health a lot better, now I need to taper off the vaping, usually working out helps a lot with that, just staying busy

                  Vaping does lead to excessive nic use I think 50mg being the norm is a problem, it was like 5mg when I started at freebase than salt came out and every disposable uses that

            Nope. Vaping is so much better (less bad) than smoking. Combustion sucks.

            I suggest you do your research.

      I dunno, that looks like the USA and their butter sucks, man. It’s not even yellow, and they sell it in “sticks”. I was so glad to find Kerrygold there.

      That’s decent stuff that I use on the regular.

          Well, we’re talking about mass market, supermarket butters in the first place here. Nobody is comparing these to boutique shop butters.

          Beyond that, for me personally, I’ve always considered Kerrygold to be a very decent, better than Land O’ Lakes or store brand butter, but I have a preference for either Plugrà or Lurpak in my supermarket-available butter. Finlandia is also very good.

            Hmh. Maybe I phrased that wrong. The one I had is also mass market, in the sense that they’re in quite a few supermarkets in several regions of one country.

            Kerrygold is just ludicrously mass market, being available in a lot of supermarkets in over 100 countries.

          Lol, clearly you haven’t been shopping at budget places in the US. The competition is Land O Lakes, “I can’t believe it’s not butter”, or store brand.

          Where are you buying your butter, and what brand?

            Good butter straight from a dairy farm is super dangerous though. You can suddenly find yourself standing in your kitchen, no memory of the last 45 minutes, the fridge door open, a greasy knife in your hand, breadcrumbs all over the floor, and half the butter gone. Gotta be careful with that stuff.

          I do. I’ve had it on my bagels and it’s noticably tastier than with regular store brand butter. I usually don’t get it because it’s like 4x the price.

      Given the rest of the grocery list, I think it is unlikely that cooking will be involved.
