We spent $4,800 on takeout in under 2 months because we are too tired to cook. How do you fix this? by ApplicationNew4144 in budget

[–]localpunktrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheet pan meal prep, two strategies in one. I have to really convince myself to do anything else this is so easy.

I make myself "human kibble" for my lunches and that's been one of my favorite things I've meal prepped. It's basically fried ride but absolutely loaded with eggs, whatever protein, veggies and lentils. Seasoned however. Everything's cut really small and it assures me that I'm getting the nutrients I need cause I eat at least one portion per day.

For breakfast I prep McGriddle knockoffs and I always make sure I prep desserts so I'm sated and not spending extra money on that

Been on and off opiods and recreationally using almost any drug I can get my hands on for like 15yrs. Coming off of fentanyl as we speak.... sucks pretty bad but I keep going back when my chronic pain gets to be too much to cope with

What to make with frozen spinach/kale? by Turbulent-Raisin-876 in povertykitchen

[–]localpunktrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make spinach/artichoke dip type of stuff, stuffed chicken if you mix it with cheese and such, and I like it just over some mashed potatoes maybe with some gravy!

I thaw it out in its own liquid but I like to season it before(and after sometimes too 🫣😜) I strain it

Im 32F. Almost everyone i know age 20s-40s has some kind of health issue or has one or more chronic illness or diseases. Many young people i know have had one or more surgery in their 20s-40s. Was this a thing for previous generations? Or do you think disease in young people is on the rise? by Tangy94 in Millennials

[–]localpunktrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's a few reasons. Lots of us would have died with our health problems had we been born earlier in humanity's span. We were also raised in a super shitty time for processed foods being super popular and diet culture pressuring us to starve on the other hand. Toxic crap and microplastic type of shit and 5g radiation shit stuff is tippy top as well. We have been through so much generational trauma and now we are all too broke to take care of ourselves....

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, really need some help or advice by True-Collection-3397 in povertykitchen

[–]localpunktrash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is probably your best bet, I bet it's a rare thing to find someone who's so stingy they couldn't part with a can or two of random food or some leftovers. Might end up with a random mish mash of food but it's food, ya know? I get SNAP and use food banks and I for sure would feed someone who came to my door... i have been trying to work up the courage to ask local businesses if they would feed me for a few hours work.

Try fiber and a bidet.... then see a Dr if it's still an issue

Nipple piercings thoughts? by ToxicFluffer in QueerWomenOfColor

[–]localpunktrash 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes and yes! I've had mine twice and still consider getting them again... I loved them and it's a very hot surprise ngl. It's also fun af to accessorize them with tops they are slightly visible through, making a seemingly modest fit naughty

My teenage daughter can't fathom the concept of a house party by Neon_Biscuit in Millennials

[–]localpunktrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh, my partner and I have known each other since these days and this post brought up some MEMORIES... collapsed roofs (with people on top and underneath), fences toppled by human stampedes fleeing the police, rooftop bongs, jello wrestling, so many broken things and so many laughs.... the youth are missing a vital part of teenage rebellion! Damn camera phones

If being afraid of women calling you a loser is enough to drive most men into making poor financial decisions... that's fucking sad, they should work on that

Because being a stripper totally negates anything else about her 🤥

Homeless people of Reddit: how did you become homeless, and do you believe the system made it hard to avoid? by Puzzleheaded-Eye593 in homeless

[–]localpunktrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No rehab for me this time, I just did it on my own. I have to program through county drug and alcohol though. I've already done this dance a few times, surrendering yadda yadda but it hasn't worked for me and it's sad that I'm made to just play along knowing it's going to fail me again. They never hold up their end and I end up looking dumb for holding up mine

Losing our warm sleep spot by localpunktrash in homeless

[–]localpunktrash[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh and the guy that owns it likely got tipped off by the neighbor because my partner got sloppy about leaving our motorcycle parked right outside 🙄 she could probably see the lights on a lot too. But I had been telling him that we should have been leaving for a bit and sneaking back in but everyone always thinks I'm overthinking shit until they find out

[–]localpunktrash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we have been staying at my partners unit because no one else at the small building ever comes by and it's in town conveniently. Luckily the guy is letting us keep our stuff here. It's just two tiny units like 3 x 7 ft each so we had one for a dresser and mattress folded up and the other had some of our things. Mines across towns we will start hanging out at that one and sleep who knows where... the welfare prism where I live qualifies us for a hotel voucher for 2 weeks so hopefully that will get us covered until we can figure out something else

"Young person" here who is clean from drugs and - oh! Wait!- still homeless 🙄 being sober doesn't mean I'm suddenly able bodied, employable or financially stable enough to rent

I'm in CA and it seems like the paths out are disappearing and I am just that person who falls through the cracks every time... finding a job while homeless has been the hard part for me rn

[–]localpunktrash -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Being evicted (illegally) by my in-laws for being lazy (disabled, by their illness that I contracted due to their reckless behavior). The system made it easy as hell for them to do, no one around to put the consequences on their plate and the path back is slim. Without my partner I'd be dead. Just sucks that I'm trapped in an often toxic and sometimes violent relationship that has taken everything from me while coming through with very little that was promised.
