I miss Aldi’s especially for ‘dry goods’ staples.

For a few months I was getting exactly $80 a week to spend on groceries. It was a great exercise to mentally add the prices as I put things in the cart and rank the desirability of food items to put a few back if I went over. It really brought home how the more processed food was the worse value it was. Those $9 Totino’s are actually quite expensive in terms of calories per buck not to mention nutrition per buck. I guessed $3 for those Totinos.
I also spent many years in that space, including a few where the food bank rounded things out a bit. I’d also have been lost on most of those things. And like someone else said, I can tell you how much the things I actually buy cost, but … Tide Pods? No clue. What a freaking waste of money.

Agreed; not to mention bad for the environment.

I’m really not crying for them over that.

The trouble I have with the B&M G Foundation is that they are changing the political agenda of institutions like WHO and UNICEF, and many poor countries. They only can because these institutions are in some ways massively underfunded (while wasting money at some levels, but I specially do not want to discuss this now; it’s complicated).
