I gotta get back into Minecraft y’all 
“Well, the data is quite clear…Millennials and Gen Z are spending twice as much on groceries all of a sudden. And, as I’m sure you are all well aware, THERE IS NO INFLATION! So the only explanation is young people being irresponsible.”

If he just grew his hair out and put on the respirator he wears when nor on camera it’d be impossible to tell the difference.
The real question is which son is Beau and which is Hunter?
Was anybody confused by this? Hunter is Rictus Erectus, obviously.
Are you sure it’d that obvious? Cause he died and Collosus didn’t
Yeah, but Corpus Colossus has all the cancers, and is Joe’s eldest son. Also, Hunter has a big ol’ wiener. GET IT? ERECTUS?

honestly it’s barely even contemptibly ghoulish, just mind-nummingly inept ‘journalism’. a silly small-sample survey, half-remembered items from the last time she grocery shopped, & a text to the coffee boy. i’ve done more research for a book report lmao
I do more research when I comment here
in fairness you face significantly higher levels of scrutiny than they do
Not even two weeks ago MSNBC had an article which similarly criticized millenials and gen z for spending on short-term purchases which included groceries. Fuck these fucking capitalist ghouls and cheerleaders.
It’s inexplicable why gen Z and millenials are focusing on short-term purchases instead of investing in real estate. I blame the YOLO mindset.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
The sad part is that the ‘good’ boots don’t even last years and years anymore.
Surely this must be an argument proving that inequality is decreasing then, right? If the gap between “poor” goods and “rich” goods is no longer as wide, then it stands to reason that inequality must be going down.
Flawless logic
One 23-year-old Gen Zer told Business Insider by text that he spends about $130 for a week and a half on groceries. “Fancy sodas and drinks” and “random snacks at Trader Joe’s” account for the bulk of the bill. He also said he spent about $35 on protein bars.
$660 a month on groceries is high but really not the issue. No mention of rent, healthcare, education (student loans) etc.
The typical American household now needs to spend $445 more on groceries a month to purchase the same amount of goods they were spending a year ago, according to a report from Moody’s.
Last para btw
Not sure how you arrived at $660 a month. $130 for a week and a half’s worth of food, assuming it’s $130 each subsequent week and a half of course, would be $346.67 a month.
I’m also assuming the $35 of protein bars is part of the $130 every 1.5 weeks. If it’s extra then that’s $440 monthly.
Yea my dumbass didn’t notice the half part. Either way, my point stands.
Agreed. Except ~$350 a month isn’t a lot for groceries anymore.
What’s next with these extravagantly irresponsible kids? Clothing? Shelter?
Business Insider accidently rewriting Marx’s chapter on historical materialism from The German Ideology, and then saying that can’t be right…uh, because of human nature.
They have to be taking the piss
They can take my shit too. Gobble it right up
ENTITLED Gen Z and Muh-len-eals HOPELESSLY ADDICTED to FOOD and WATER. WHY must I continue to fund their EXTRAVAGANT LIFESTYLE???
Look at these entitled jerks, wanting FOOD.
The success of the canned water brand Liquid Death also shows how young people are willing to spend on flashy food and beverages. The brand recently shot up to a valuation of $1.4 billion thanks to a recent round of funding, according to Forbes.
They almost got it, it’s right there! Indeed, the success of shitty canned water is due to injections of cash. It has nothing to do with spending on whatever the fuck a “flashy beverage” is. Deeply Unserious “journalist”
Part of the reason why Liquid Death is so popular is because it’s the only way you can drink water at a shit ton of bars and venues now. All live nation venues only carry it.
And at many bars if you just ask for “water” and don’t think about appending “tap” to it you get one, and get charged for it.Maybe it’s a hot seller at the grocery store and I’m unaware but aside from parties where it’s purchased because it looks like a beer can and reduces the teetotal and DD stigma, it’s mostly bars and venues fueling their success afaik.
Cw meat:
spoiler
Deli meat that was 5$ a pound 5 years ago is 15 now. I was trying to find something i could make (brain problems) that was cheaper than fast food and maybe not as bad for my aging heart. 15$/lb for sliced turkey.
Don’t die early fee
Honestly, the precooked rotisserie chickens most places make are typically loss leaders to get you in the store. It’s the only affordable way I can buy a chicken,(any other kind of meat is beyond my comprehension of how anyone affords it unless they’re rich fucks), that doesn’t involve buying like a month’s worth of chicken in bulk because as one person I don’t need too much. I used to buy a kg of meatballs too, but they’ve gone up about 30% over the past year so it’s just the chicken now if I want meat.
I usually buy a big bag of frozen veggies, lentils, beans, and rice and just make stir fry stuff with the cheapest sauce I can find. If I’m feeling fancy I buy nice noodles and use that instead of rice.
Wow, finally one of these generalizations about our generation that applies to me
I’ve been spending most of my money on groceries for well over a decade now so I feel pretty called out
they’re dabbing on us

I wish I could spend that little on a week and a half of groceries
Money saving tip for gen-z, don’t eat.
