Dollar Stores in America have become the fastest growing food chains. One woman showed what you can buy on a 70$ budget. Is this sustainable?

2- 3 days?? Green apples, oranges, and grapefruit last 4 to 6 weeks in the fridge. Bananas last a week. Peaches and Kiwi about a week. Berries can frozen and last months. Vegetables can be frozen and last months.

Some of y'all don't eat fruit or vegetables otherwise you'd know this.:hubie:

A month to a month and a half? That's a long ass time. Ain't no way it's been a month and your like "lemme get this old ass grapefruit, been waiting for this!"

It might just be me, because when I buy shyt, especially fruit, if I buy 8 apples I know the day in which all 8 will be gone. I don't buy shyt and just hope to eat it at some point or think "well, maybe I'll want it". I have my shyt planned out in advanced.

Nah, its the front end not the back end. pause

Its when i get to the store and realize i don't have any quarters on me so i can't use a grocery cart.

3d print an Aldi key, or buy one.
Keep it in the car or on a keychain.

I eat fruit and vegetables everyday. Most days I’m eating at least one avocado and some garlic. I use shallots/onions, olives, tomatoes, bell peppers a lot too. Strawberries, bananas, and apples probably the fruits I eat most besides avocados.

This probably averages out to around $2.50-$3.00 a day, so around $75-$100 per month.

It would be a little less if I used frozen fruits/veggies but I just buy everything fresh. Which brings me to the next and probably most important point. If you eat a lot of fruits and veggies, you need to buy them daily so you don’t overbuy because fresh fruits and veggies are extremely perishable
