One of those where you have to peel the label to read it, and it just goes on for like a foot.

And arrows, no?

You are correct, of course. I was being difficult.

I've got a thing in my drawer that'll do that. Doesn't take calls, though.

I only skimmed it: they're sending cannabis seeds, along with a number of other things, into space to see how they handle radiation. They believe cannabis would be useful for all sorts of things in a lunar or Mars colony.

I think that about sums it up.

Ah yes. WANAWWI. Little less stylish than dub dub dos, but it will do.

I have to be honest - and maybe it's partially a skill issue - but I really can't. I'm running a deficit every week. I'm stuck in rotating CashApp loans. Every week I also end up borrowing 20 to 50 from friends, to be paid back on payday. So wash, rinse, repeat. And I have to visit mutual aid way more often than I'd like. So the honest answer to your question is a negative number, as far as available. As far as what I spend, I don't really know. And I guarantee I'm not spending it smart when I'm stress buying the one meal I get that day because someone came through. So I just get cheap takeout for like 10. Which I know is awful, but I do think it's understandable. I'm trying to do better.

Holy shit, this is perfect. I really fucking appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Thank you so much! I'm saving it to my desktop so when I am ready I can pull it back up easily. I just started a second job, so hopefully within the next month or two I'll finally be able to focus on actually living and saving and budgeting instead of being worse than hand to mouth.

Thank you, again!

I use afterpay sometimes to cover my groceries. I neglected to realize I had a payment due today. It's 7.05. I just don't want them to take away my ability to use the service, as it definitely saves me sometimes.

My CashApp is overdrawn (no fees, I live overdrawn - they treat it like a free line of credit) so it would eat the payment. I have Venmo if that's more convenient.

I did leave out some important details, I see now.

Unfortunately I've been barely getting by. Assume I have nothing ingredient wise. I have some seasonings, but that's about it. I'll definitely have to build up a supply of essentials. I have some pots and pans. Nothing fancy, but I make do. I have an oven, stove, and microwave.

I'm southeast US. COL around here I feel like is kind of high, but it's no big city. There is a Publix (main grocery around here), an Aldi, Walmart, and Asian market all within a couple miles, which is good because I rely on a bicycle and the bus.

I have no dietary restrictions. I'm trying to move my diet more towards no-meat but I'm not there yet. That said, I welcome meatless suggestions.

You got me 😂 In my meager defense, I posted this right before bed and had already smoked. I left out a few details I should have included.

Grocery Budget? (hexbear.net)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by isame@hexbear.net to c/askchapo@hexbear.net
 

I'm trying to come up with a realistic budget number for groceries. I'm 33 and have a moderately physical full-time job, and I ride a mountain bike on the trails probably 5-15 miles a week, weather and depression permitting. So I'm decently active. What do you think I should expect to spend on groceries every week, if I'm being moderately thrifty?

ETA: Bonus points if you give me a rough idea of what you'd spend the money on.

I definitely fixated on specifically mangos for a while last year. They're tasty.

Need met! Thank you so much!

tl;dr at bottom!

Hi there everyone. I have really bad teeth and used to get tooth infections all the time. It's been a few years, but I have one now. It's slow to develop and I'm still hoping it'll find a way to drain itself, but I've been urged by my friends to go ahead and go get antibiotics, so I'm going to take the advice I know to be wise. I'm old hat at this, they'll give me antibiotics and tell me to go to a dentist, and I will take the meds and not go to a dentist because even with dental insurance now I can't even begin to afford copays when I can't pay rent or feed myself. All of my teeth need to be removed, just to start.

I scheduled an appointment with the local urgent care thingy (CareSpot) tomorrow after work. I'd paid all my bills (or so I thought...), set aside my rent money for this week in a money order, minus the $50 for the copay for tomorrow. And then my phone bill hit. This is like my second month having a phone bill again after probably a year not having a carrier. It's only $14 and change. But now I'm short on my copay. I can't extract money from that money order as it is made out to my apartment complex already, and I also do not have a physical bank.

tl;dr: tooth infection, need urgent care copay $50 for tomorrow to go get antiobiotics, set money aside but phone bill snuck up on me, need $15.
