Or we could use it as Toilet paper. I think the Germans did that in the 20s and 30s, lol.

It's better for your health to eat less and play more.
Like if you eat less, you can do it four times a month there.

Ever since Trump got into office I have been paying less for my groceries after the "Biden effect" was dissipated.

Thank God, too.

unless the dollar bills come in barbecue flavor, I ain’t interested, though I do admire your commitment to unique cuisine as always

incorrect.

healthy food cost upto 15 euro per day..
junkfood (enough calories, but all empty) 2 euro per day..

but food is not the largest expense..

90% goes to fixed expenses...
on 1 is rent taking out 45%
on 2 is utilities taking out 20%
on 3 in mandatory health insurance taking out 10%
on 4 your citytaxes and such.. take out another 5%
on 5 are your 3 essential subsctioptions (internet, phone, other insurances) foranother 5%
on 6 is transportation, (gotta move to earn) taking also 5%

and for your non fixed expenses
7% goes straight to your savings account (anything breaks you want to have the savings to replace it)

leaving 3% for groceries..

and of that you need 0.5% for nonfood, 0.5% for "social obligations, gifts and such"
leaving only 2% for food

and yet you think you can get entertainment budget out of that 2%...

***cant lower rent there ARE no cheaper houses be lucky you got one we are in a housing crisis.
****can lower utility cost by investing in solar panels, isolating your use etc
(but in a rental property your permissions to make such home improvements are pretty much non excistant either.. so your stuck to buying more energy efficient equipment, and use energy more sparsly)
***cant lower on health insurance thats mandatory
***taxes are mandatory.. can't exsape those
***canceling subscriptions is the easy one. to save money where most people waste money... . but you need at least internet acces and be able to call somebody..


so buy more energy efficient utilities, live without ac, set your heater in winter on a low 10C tops.. shower cold.. and only 5 minutes.. and wash your dishes by hand..
+
cancel anything nonsensical like all your streaming services... don't need those.

for food... welll if you live in an apartment like me your screwed but.. if not.. why not plant some of your own?

Here’s the issue. I need to eat or else I will die.

You can save a bunch of money on food if you develop a meth habit.
