Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

It's getting to the point where I can't spend under $100 anymore for the week. I remember when $50 was like 5-6 days worth of stuff for a single person like me. Thanks Drumpf.

It's crazy in the UK too. About 15+ years ago I could eat for £15 a week fairly decently. Now to be able to eat properly it would require more like £50 a week if you want enough vegetables and some basic protein sources. That doesn't even include extras like toilet paper.
