Cost Of Living - Tumblr Posts
As someone going through the cost of living crisis, literally choosing which days to eat and which to not, which days to heat the house and water, and which to not - this coronation is a joke.
The money could have gone to way better causes, not even for the people like me who are better off. But for those who are literally dying.
If there's any advice I could give people on a smaller food budget, its where possible, invest in sauces and seasonings or make your own.
(There are tons of low-cost, high-output recipes for making your own sauces, dried powders, growing your own herbs in small pots indoors, ect.)
I've been in situations before where I've been eating cheap packets of instant ramen for dinner five days out of seven, and it was so, so much more tolerable when I was able to change the flavor instead of eating the same basic, pretty bland chicken one over and over.
I could made herby, garlicky ramen one night, sweet chili another, ect.
I'm pretty lucky in that where I live things like jars of sauces and pots of seasonings are very cheap, and I know its not like that for everyone, but if you are in a situation where you can spare a little for some pots or jars, it really can make a difference to being able to tolerate food repetition.
the demonization of the needy continues... because not like the insanely wealthy could actually fucking save a lot of people or anything...
