CHEAPEST FOOD EVER

finding this thread is reassuring knowing that no matter how shitty life gets in the future, so long as i have internet and a computer, i can still get by

i guess the "you can never leave" meme was right after all

There's a very similar dish that's very popular in India.

You lucky americans, in Vancouver rice is $20 for 15lbs, beans about the same, ONE bell pepper is $2.50, etc. Shit is out of control here

I dont know if ive ever seen a 20lb bag of rice for 5.99. I wouldnt doubt that they have it that cheap at wallmart though.

Agreed. Vancouver is ridiculous. Where in can you from?

I'm glad you got the joke, fucking Monty Python was genius.

I posted those prices.
I've never been to Vancouver so forgive the possible stupidity of this question, but is living there substantially more expensive than living in Toronto? Cuz I've found supermarket prices in Toronto comparable to those in my area.

Nah bro. Walmart's costlier than that by quite a lot. I don't shop there because it's so expensive compared to shopping sales at regular-ass supermarkets. The prices I quoted were sale prices from the biggest regional chain supermarket in my area, Shoprite. They run the east coast from Massachussetts (or possibly as far as Maine) down to Maryland. This is own brand stuff, by the way. If you're poor, you shouldn't be buying Kokuho Rose or other costly brands of rice. I know too many retail monkeys who complain about not having money but then buy expensive ass shit without have ever tried cheaper alternatives.

My Sam's i the south has Riceland long grain rice $16.58/50lb bag, Royal basmati rice $16.89/15lb, Spaghetti $4.50/6lb box.

I live in Vancouver now, but originally I'm from Ontario. I'm actually thinking of going back east the cost of living is ridiculous in the west.
Yes, although I've heard that Toronto is not much better recently. Our real estate prices drove up the prices for pretty much everything. Rent is like $1500 for a one bedroom apartment in the outskirts, groceries are WAY more expensive than anywhere else in Canada, even our car insurance is retarded. There's only one insurance company (run by the government) who charges essentially whatever arbitrary amount they wish. For a driver with one normal vehicle and no accidents for 10 years is about $2000 per year. BC (British Columbia) is jokingly referred to as Bring Cash
