Yeah I just want to know what grocery store food Wall Street journal is going to call Gen Alpha privileged for eating. Store brand hummus? Whole wheat bread?
organic artisnal bread, non gmo, single source, fair traded,yadayaday.
Hummus?? BROWN bread?? thats rich people food
I like how the second article’s main photo is of a boomer and Gen Zer standing in front of an RV while the article talks about things Gen Z wastes money on.
And half the stuff on the list are things boomers buy too. Coffee? Apparel? …streaming services when they had cable?
Fucking goofball shit
“Gets Community Noted” is such an awkward turn of phrase.
“Get noted, losers”
I’m going to say that every day when I leave the office
A personal favorite of mine is “stay fresh, meatbags”
I’m thinking of adapting it to Half-Baked. “Get noted, get noted, get noted, you’re cool, get noted. I’m out!”
Having not yet read the article, I still have no idea what it’s supposed to mean. I mean, I can guess in a general sense. But it is a weird phrase that I have never heard before.
Posts on Twitter can get flagged with “Community Notes”, generally to advise readers about inaccuracies and lies.
Apparently “Community Note” has been verbed, without so much as a hyphen.
Yuck.
Poor people get all the breaks!
pretty sure your boss is splurging human babies so shut the fuck up
What they hate even more is that we’re splurging on living indoors with running water and flush toilets.
It wasn’t that long ago Faux was running stories about these uppity welfare recipients having refrigerators and cell phones, shocking I know
They know their audience. After all it’s hard to find “undesierabes” to look down on when their standard of living is alarmingly close to your own.
I only buy one of these when they’re on clearance (‘day old’ in the cold case) for two dollars…
Ah yes good old tens of thousands in debt and property costing ten times what it used to when boomers bought them, cost of living souring, wages not climbing, and of course it’s the cheap tasty chicken keeping the young folk from owning their own home. Yeeeesss. Great financial logic there, (checks notes) Wall Street Journal.
I never bought rotisserie chicken because they were cheap to the point of being suspicious (i.e. what sort of corners are they cutting).
Sort of the opposite of what I would consider a “splurge.”
(i.e. what sort of corners are they cutting)
In case you really want to know:
TL;DR: Rotisserie chickens are smaller on average and price per pound usually more expensive except at stores like Costco. So you see similar numbers but don’t notice the size.
They take chickens that are on the sale by date and cook them. At least when I worked deli! So maybe not the nicest chickens but all fine!
I remember working on the deli when we’d markdown the chickens. Folks knew when we put them out and how long we waited before doing it. There was generally a little crowd of 2 to 3 folks when we’d do it on the weekend. Sometimes they’d get impatient and ask us if we were gonna come do it. Which, to be honest, I don’t really blame them. I don’t remember how much of a savings it was but it was significant. It’s sort of like “hey buddy, let’s stop the charade, I need to get going, can you come mark these down a few minutes early?”
They go bad quickly. If you leave one in a hot car, it gets funky like in one afternoon. Which if you cooked your own chicken and left it in the car it wouldn’t, which is odd.
How often do you leave meat in hot cars?
When travelling I’ve had cause to buy those pre cooked chickens, and to cook mine own meats, and had to leave them in cars for a bit, so quite a bit actually. Not often on the Rotisserie chickens after a couple got funky, but plenty on mine own meats.
Hamburgers cooked over a wood fire died down to charcoal will stay good for up to days in a hot car.
Meet my buddy from New Jersey, Sal.
Sal Monella.
Omg no :(
Oh yes. Burger is a different beast than chicken to be sure, but wood smoke is curative, and cooked food lasts longer in general. I’ve had cooked burgers in a trunk/backpack for up to three days, hiking and the like, in the summer, that didn’t go bad. I bet if you cooked it, you could pack it in a jar with vinegar right away and it would stay good indefinitely.
Or if you expose it to smoke long enough it cures it completely and doesn’t have to be refrigerated at all forever. Usually salt is involved, and often other plants that help preserve it if traditional curing. If new age curing they use toxic chemicals like sodium nitrates to cure it, like in ham or bacon nowadays. Those are to be avoided and are bad for you, just as preservatives like sodium benzoate put in condiments and the like, even in some pop, is bad.
Personally I always sprinkle some yellow 5 on my food after I cook it because testicle shrinking properties or no, it’s worth it to not have to eat food that’s not yellow enough, yuck.
Funny you say that, I just got this horrible GI stomach bug with a fever, but that was the first time I’ve been sick since 2019 excepting getting covid once in 2021. Nary a cold, a sniffle, or an upset stomach.
I hardly ever get sick otherwise. But got sick as a dog just a week back, 2 days without eating, raging fever, lots of ass falling as you so poetically coined it.
Did Lucille Bluth write that article?
Rotisserie chicken, used for burritos, can make lunch for the work week.
US$5 hot rotisserie chicken from Costco is cheaper than a whole raw chicken from grocery outlet. In addition, I have to pay for the electricity and seasoning to cook the chicken.
yeah its one of the cheapest foods out there. are they splurging on rice and rice cookers too?
I have a rice cooker and they’re kinda overrated. Do I use it? Yes, but you can always boil water and make rice that way, or even microwaving rice with water can cook it.
Also rotisserie chicken lasts a long time when you break it apart, shred it and freeze it for future recipes. I love to make this Southwest Chicken Skillet from Budget Bytes. Its so filling and the family loves it, I add in sour cream and stir it in at the end.
Personally, I like to buy crates of Bibigo rice bowls from CostCo. You just toss them into the microwave for a minute and thirty seconds, vio’la, you got carbs to go with whatever you pair it with.
I also make broth with the rotisserie scraps.
Budget Bytes is incredible. I have a bunch of recipes from there that I make on the regular
I’m filipino, a simple rice maker is a staple in my household. We even have rice dispensers
oh I disagree. boiling water in a pot and you have to watch it but the rice cooke is set it and forget it. Rice cooker is the most often used gadget for us followed by the slow cooker.
Yeah, but if you’re cooking a meal it’s pretty trivial to time your stove rice properly.
Boil, rice in, lid on, low heat for 18 minutes, off for 8 minutes, lid off, fluff with fork. No watching. If you burn some, lower your “low”. If you’re getting crazy and making some basmati or rosematta you just look up how much time your new strain of rice needs. If you have an always-too-hot electric stove I’m sorry I lied; I’ve been there, and I would probably buy a rice cooker too.
Yeah it never works out that way for me for whatever reason although we do currently have electric this was with gas too. Rice cooker is load it and turn on. 30 minutes later hot meal. Always, every time, no further intevention and if you forget it and don’t come back for 45mins its in stay warm mode and is fine.
Best thing in my house and the only appliance coming with on the move. I adore my lil rice cooker more than life itself.
These rich fucks would complain if you were left nothing but dirt to eat and got an extra grub in a mouthful.
It’s one rotisserie chicken, Michael. How much could it cost, fifty dollars?
If saving 5 bucks on your grocery bill is the thing that keeps your head above water… you’re probably already deep enough to meet the ghost of that OceanGate CEO.
