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?

processed/frozen foods , sugar and chips is all I saw.

I will happily barter with every farmer I know in a 50 mile radius before I go into those places.



Done tell people since when

I eat fruit and veggies only 4 or 5 days out of the week and im not spending that much money

Next time youre at the grocery store look at whats in folks carts...

Lost 15 pounds already in 2 weeks eating fruits, some veggies, fat free candy and drinking pop. We need a thread in the gym section.

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

Pickled asparagus is crazy. I ain’t here to judge. Salute to you.

 

[Piff Perkins]

I've always gotten candy and snacks at the dollar store instead of grocery stores or CVS/Walgreens/etc. Whenever I need some Hot Tamales or pretzels I'm there lol.

Save money grocery shopping to save up for your impending hospital bills brehs

All that sodium processed shyt

I get that dollar tree budget grocery shopping is the thing on TikTok now but man you’re not doing yourself any favors buying that processed ass crap. I’m kinda iffy on buying perishable items from dollar tree after that whole recall they had when they were still selling the shyt after the recall.

FDA: Dollar Tree kept recalled item in stock for months

Over 500 children were reported sick after eating the applesauce

www.supermarketnews.com

Also I was looking at the bagels there once and I’m glad I looked at the bag. The got damn bottom bagel was damn near fully green You have to be careful going there.. I can go to a grocery store and get hat I need for 70 bucks.. it ain’t that serious.Sometimes you have to go to two or more stores in a one day shopping trip.

Aldi is good enough...
people are just so addicted to eating processed crap

Vegetables and fruit arent that much

I’m sorry but you CANNOT buy food at the dollar store. I wouldn’t even buy gum or mints there


I wouldn’t trust shyt out of there.

I don’t understand how ppl be buying snacks at places like TJMAXX, Marshalls, etc. Just because it’s there doesn’t mean you need to eat it.

The sodium levels even at minimum servings are crazy.

Funny I was in area yesterday where the only stores they can keep are family dollar/dollar general types. The residents will literally go out their way to other areas to buy groceries etc

I believe at this point it’s a mental thing. The tried & true logic

I’ll take Walmart and Aldi any day over Dollar Tree.

I figured tiktok is what fukked shyt up.

I hit up dollar tree before camping and fishing. And since I've been doing both a lot. I've been going a lot.

Good luck finding this shyt, because I can't no more.



I used to get them for a dollar. I always had 10 on deck just in case. Emergency food. Especially for camping. I could do Amazon but at that price it ain't worth it.

You have to know what it is. I used to cop frozen vegetables (specifically broccoli florets) for meal prep for $1 and frozen fruit.

That's back when it used to be a secret. Now mfs are broke and are like "hey this is good stuff "

But these idiots still buy cookies and chips.

 

[Bugzbunny129]

I grab my java monsters in dollar general. They 2.75 there. 3.80 in every other store.

Aldis better. Those German cakes

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

What she got wasn't even impressive for $70. You could get more /better at Walmart. Way more at Aldi

 

[bnew]

Sorry but $70 grocery budget is just sad. Get some government help and buy real food

the government is cutting off the help while insituting policies that increases cost of living by $4,000-$6,000/year.
