[BakaFeijoa]

If you're broke, it's cheaper to cook for yourself than to buy instant noodles, isn't it?

 

[HORRIOR]

The eldritch nicotine addict is hungy.

 

[Kaito57]

[Tcof]

[isoycrazy]

Come on, who can say no to that cute face?

Spending her money on just cigarettes? I never thought I would see the Elma of nicotine.

 

[Snowave]

Always listen to your hooman husband!

1. Instant noodles are cheap as shit
2. Time is also a consideration when you're poor

Not if you haven’t already made the initial investment into cookware, ingredients, and learning to cook.

A cup of instant noodles costs less than ¢70. It’s difficult to compete with that price point as a wagie with no prior experience.

True, the noodles are cheaper, but then there's the high risk of health consequences. Saving money on instant noodles seems like the better thing to do, but then there's the possibility of those cut costs returning later with a vengeance in the form of medical fees caused by living on a diet of mostly instant noodles.

Ideally, the money that you manage to scrunge up living on noodles you should invest along with some spare time into learning to cook for yourself. There's a lot of cheap dishes you could make in bulk so that they end up lasting for at least a week. Yeah the cost will be slightly higher, but in the long-term it'll be the better choice to prevent any possible health complications with just a slightly better diet and nutrition. And occasionally there's no harm in getting instant noodles every now and then as long as you balance it out with real food.

You want to take care of your health when broke? Why do you think ultra-processed food tends to be the cheapest? Because healthy living is a privilige for the well off. Someone already mentioned that besides having no money, you also have basically no time, since all of it is spent on getting the bare minimum to make ends meet.

Truly spoken like somebody who never had to worry how to pay for their next meal, their next rent, and who can't wrap their head around how it would be having to survive like that.

All of that is considerations somebody who is just barely living from payday to payday cannot afford.

 

[Gadzek]

Mate's broke, cause he paid for your feast before, girl. Let him eat something now.

And you speak like someone who thinks frying an egg, chopping up some vegetables, or boiling some pasta or rice is some herculean task that takes 8 hours of your life.

Yes, having to neglect the long term in favor of getting by in the short term, that is a mark of the poor and desperate. Knowing this principle doesn't mean they have any real choice about it.

Your misconception is that the poor have spare time to shop and cook. You've heard the saying "time is money"? Well for the poor the time-to-money exchange rate is not great and they are typically working 2 or 3 jobs.

And then there's the supply problems. Food preservation - fridge costs money, electricity costs money. Cooking - do they even have access to a cooktop, do they own pots and pans, do they even have space for these things?

Yeah the cost will be slightly higher, but in the long-term it'll be the better choice

A slightly higher up-front cost can be prohibitive. Read your Pratchett.

I've never been in a position where I was so dirt poor I cant afford food, but I would have thought the cheapest thing at that point is just buying a bag of flour and making plain water and flour flatbread. Though I suppose you do need a flat metal and something other than a microwave oven heat source.

 

[LemonLies]

She may be an eldritch monstrosity from a higher plane of existence, but the true cosmic horror here is the economy, as always.
