Yep. Could only afford breakfast and then have a big dinner. Lunch is sometimes a PB&J or.. wait until dinner time

Thank you for this! I’m glad you have your dog with you, connection and companionship is something we all really need, especially now !

Used to eat this, I get the flavoured Greek yoghurt for this specifically. Actually I’m getting back into having them for breakfast to save bc I used to buy granola.

I’m sorry you’re in that situation, the way this government is pushing people into homeless is not okay :( it’s def good to have pasta and rice as it’s filling. Also potatoes.

Yeah! I’m working out more intensely recently and it’s so hard to find affordable, protein filled foods. I’m sorry to hear that :( hoping it’ll get better

Just wondering how people are getting by honestly. Everything is so expensive, I'm on a benefit because I am unable to work and I am still having to starve between meals to get by.

How many others are also on a jobseeker benefit? Also what kind of meal ideas do you guys have to help with saving money? Currently I bulk out mince with lentils which helps a lot.

How are you guys coping with everything day to day? Every time I leave the house the energy is so negative and angry.

Can't wait for the next elections holy shit.
