But he's morbidly obese.

Imagine being at computers so fat you look and see food

Right, I'm not an american, but:
>2 big bottles of canola oil
>4 lbs of rice
>2 lbs of beans
>two heads of garlic
>12 onions
>salt
>pepper
>2 lbs assorted vegetables
>2 lbs chicken breast
How much should that cost overall if we're buying this in fucking Walmart, roughly?

not enough garlic and seasonings. well maybe idk, is a lb 0.5kg?

He grossly missed the mark on that one.

where i live people barely eat beans at all, i dont remember ever seeing them outside of some salad bars
i have always wondered how do americans and europeans eat so many beans, what do you make with them?

I eat them with rice, some salad and some meat.

I think cooking your own avocado toast is probably cheaper than getting it at a bistro. Millenials are painfully stupid with their money. My youngest brother is one of them and absolutely kills me to see the shit he wastes money on when he has so little of it (unemployed).

My youngest brother is in debt because he likes to go to the champagne room in strip clubs and wonders where all his money went (he has a degree in general business that he never used). He barely clears 39k USD a year and lives in NYC.

1kg is 2.2 lb

Don't bring your stupid twitter screencap bait threads here, tourist.

20ish bucks. But I could do it for cheaper if I wasn't limited to walmart. There prices aren't the best.

I went with Walmart just because it's pretty ubiquitous, but supposing best possible prices, how much is it? Also, add another head of garlic and some extra stuff for seasoning.

Making some pessimistic estimates, I came with $35. In reality, probably less than that.

Isn't cooking the cheap choice?
You don't have to buy the oil, spices, rice, legumes every day.

You can also cook your food and freeze it to use for other days.

The rice and beans would drive that up a lot here in Denmark actually. But you're not supposed to get 1-kg bags of those at a supermarket; you get sacks at the bazaar or Asian market. Doing that I guess I could make that shopping list for $20.

Yeah, I'm from Brazil where they're sold in bags of 1kg/2kg in most supermarkets but they're dirt cheap due to how they're everywhere.

Clearly socialism is the answer, despite the fact that more people have starved to death under it than any other system in history.

Also, fuck Dobson.

>I'm not American
>lists weights and measures in obscure amounts long since abandoned by everyone but America, Liberia and El Salvador

I'm on to you, seppo

No u

I'm pretty sure that the internet and the focus on food in recent years have made millennials more likely to attempt cooking - particularly cooking new things - than previous generations. It's certainly the impression I get, most older people I know act like people who can cook are wizards, whereas most younger ones I know can grasp the basics.

Fuck both of these people, the first one is some bitter old shit, the second is a whiny inflation-artist.

Keep that autist on /v/ please. Plus the dude is fucking fat

I assume everyone I'm talking to on the Internet is American. I just set lbs to roughly 0,5 kg and an inch to 2,5 cm mentally for conversion.

Stop faling for this stupid bait.

Contempt for Dobson sure isn't limited to one board, but Veeky Forums is one where I wouldn't have expected to find it. So this guy wants me to believe he can splurge on Apple and Nintendo but kitchen basics are off limits?

is there a single thing that he can talk about without being really fucking retarded?

No u

>buy cans with red beans, white beans corn and can of spam
>buy a pack of noodles
>dump everything into a pot and boil it for 2 hours
>add some SriRacha sauce
Done.

Dinner for two days cost me around 4 Bucks.

I don't know anyone that likes his stuff, I can fanthom anyone liking his stuff.

Us Brits use them too

>So this guy wants me to believe he can splurge on Apple and Nintendo but kitchen basics are off limits?
THANK YOU.

This is the last fucking place I expected to see a Dobson thread

Andrew Dobson is still around?

That was an analogy, not a literal sentence. Why is everyone in Veeky Forums retarded enough to not get analogies? One thing is inflation bear not getting them, but you are supposed to be smarter than that.

They Don't Think It Be Like It Is, But It Do

>no limes

Please try again.

>only 2lbs of chicken

never gonna make it manlet

>can of spam
>packet of noodles
>boil for two hours

user...

make what?

I know plenty of people who want to and do cook.

Not in any meaningful capacity, no. He mostly just posts on twitter, and somehow manages to be wrong about every possible thing he weighs in on.

Go to bed, Dobby.

Is your heart still beating?

Still, it's a weak counter. I'm assuming the analogy has to do with work (cook) and play (eat). Of course a lot of people don't want to work, but how can one "not afford" to? Is he collecting disability or something?

70 USD

A head of garlic is like 10¢. Spices can be had in bulk for a few dollars each depending.

I can get like 5 pounds of chicken breast at Wal-Mart for about $10 in the US if that helps any. I also bought a box of 4 pounds of rice for $6 in that same trip but I could have gotten it cheaper in a bag.

sum total: $21

I got about $50 from looking at the online order app for a store close to me, but I couldn't do exact weight for any fresh ingredients. Walmart would probably be about the same price.
Mexican/hispanic grocery stores can be the cheapest places for a lot of ingredients. They're one of the nicer little things about living in a border state.

Have you shopped lately, your prices are wrong. 4 pounds of rice is closer to 6 dollars, Walmart beans dry are about 1.60 for a pound , two heads of garlic is 3 dollars, 12 onions will be more like 5 dollars, six if you want anything other than regular white onions

>The prices in my local place are the prices of things in the entire world.

Walmart brokers huge distribution deals, so yes staples through out walmart are relatively in the same price range unless you live in california or alaska, then its slightly more expensive.

'B-but healthy food is expensive! Junk food is so much cheaper!'

Buying in bulk would be cheaper in the long run.

>better off buying a gallon of vegetable oil $5
>50lb bag of jazmine rice from the asian market $30, you can find cheaper quality rice for 2lb for a dollar
>peruvian beans on sale you can find for a dollar a pound a couple times a year you might fimd 2lb for a dollar, pinto beans are usually cheaper than that
>Garlic is sold in a pack of about 5 for around $3
>onions are around4lbs for a dollar
>kosher salt is usually a little over a dollar
>pepper is around $1/oz for pre ground more expensive for whole
>vegetables are usually under a dollar a pound
>chicken breast is usually $1.99/lb but I would recommend leg quarters or thighs and drum sticks which i have seen go as low as 49¢ for leg quarters and ¢77 for legs and thighs

I would also recommend potatoes which are nearly always 10¢/pound in 10lb sacks. Some times when potatoes are plenty full i have seen them go for 2lb/10¢

Pork picnic should is also great because it constantly goes on sale for 79¢ a pound.

Beef chuck roasts (choice) is a good buy in my area when is goes to 2.99$/lb

I would guess $25 would be more than enough to buy everything on your list. You could save money if you went with thighs and then trim them and render the fat from the trimmings to make schmaltz.

THey can't afford to cook, because they're faggots and don't understand how to live. Too buy obsessing over whether or not their skinny jeans go with their vintage bobble touq and whether or not their favorite shitty-sounding band is too popular.

>Can't work

where the fuck do you live, paco?

>4 pounds of rice is closer to 6 dollars
Fuck off with that shit, a 20lb bag costs like $15

The US is so big that there is no good general price for these ingredients. I don't shop at wal-mart generally, but I doubt the prices would be much better than at Albertsons where I do shop. All these ingredients (assuming not frozen veggies and chicken), would be about $40. Not too bad, considering I could probably feed myself for more than 2 weeks on that.

He's also like 50, so not a millennial.

>4 pounds of rice is closer to 6 dollars
??? last month I got a 5lb bag for $2.50. Then again I got generic long grain rice.

just checked my local supermarket's shop from home link.
>store brand canola oil 24 oz $1.99 ea
>Rico brand Long Grain Rice 20 lb $7.99
>store brand Kidney Beans - Dark Red 40 oz $1.79 can
>2 Pack Garlic Bulbs $0.66
>store brand Salt - Iodized or Plain 26 oz $0.59
>Mi Pepito brand Ground Black Pepper 1.25 oz $1.19
>Carrots 1 lb $0.99 - Russet Potatoes 5 Lb Bag $1.69 - Tomatoes On The Vine 1 lb $0.99
>Perdue or Tyson brand chicken thighs (because breasts are inferior, you pleb), $0.99/lb

so that's 4 + 8 + 1.8 + .66 + .6 + 1.2 + 1 + 1.7 + 1 + 2 = $22 and you have five times the rice, an extra half pound of beans, enough salt for months, and at least 4 lb more of potatoes than you asked for

i'm in the NYC area, so prices aren't even dirt cheap, as they would near farm country

i forgot the onions
>Onions - 3 lb Bag each $2.50

what the fuck do you need so much fucking canola oil for you fat fuck

big bottles of canola oil
$20
lbs of rice
$7 (cheaper to get the 40lb bag in the long run)
lbs of beans
$5
>>two heads of garlic

lbs assorted vegetables
$5~$15, call it $10

That's a Liberal myth that's been disproved over and over again.

Obviously not American. In America we use American oil, not two big bottles of that Canadian shit.

>no one can afford to cook
>so let's eat out!

IT: angry old men

Then how do they afford to eat?

They assume "cook" means "buy prime ribs and organic kale every night", giving them the illusion that Hungry Man dinners are cheaper than cooking

>poor women are fat
>poor men are thin
Wtf

>no one can afford to cook

Bullshit. Millennials are the worst with their lying, projection, denial, and straight up ignorance.

>Garlic is sold in a pack of 5 for around $3
Wut? I buy garlic bulbs priced per lb. It usually comes out to about $.40-$.50 for a larger bulb.

>potatoes which are nearly always 10¢/pound in 10lb sacks
One dollar for ten pounds of potatoes? That's crazy. Where are you shopping, Idaho?

How old are you? Most people I heard complaining about millenials are themselves millenials. I am a millennial on the tail end. I waste money on all sorts of shit but then again I make a lot especially for a bachelor.

I don't get it

>potatoes which are nearly always 10¢/pound in 10lb sacks. Some times when potatoes are plenty full i have seen them go for 2lb/10¢

Do you also have to dig them out of the ground?

Well, up here, let's see.

The normal size bottles of oil are $3 so let's go with that.

So 38 plus tax, around 40ish bucks right there.
