Real food costs less than junk food?
At least around here it does. Since I moved out of the shithole apartment to a somewhat better part of town — which I can't afford — the nearest store is a Kroger, versus a dollar store with boarded-up windows.
I'm still reverberating from the dietary change from off-brand cookies and tuna to actual food that has flavor and nutrients. Honey peanut butter, which my teddy bear likes 😉 was only 1.00 at Kroger, while the short-dated one at the D.S. was “on sale” for 2.35. (I can't put a dollar sign w/o fooking up the page.)
As to bug spray, better known as “B.S.,” I haven't even had to use it at the new place, which is why I'm keeping the title of my novelette flexible as “B.S. and Teddy Bears.”
Enjoy my teddy bear enjoying honey peanut butter and instant coffee:
