  • Ooh something I can explain. Here where I am at to be a home care health helper I needed to install an app that tracks every move I make on my phone and pings it to the company. They do not provide a device unless you work full time. This requires multiple clients and driving. Plus, expect to be cleaning up every bodily fluid. All this for $14/hr.

    I like the job, my client and her family are awesome and that’s the only perk to the job. I picked this up to help make ends meet after a job loss; and I have friends for life. I don’t really work for them anymore, but I do visit and say hello when I can.










  • I remember having to spend $20 a week on groceries 15 years ago. Now I’m spending ~$30. It’s disgusting.

    Edit: I don’t know why I am getting downvoted.this is really about what I spend on groceries.

    I may also have some advantages here. I eat almost a vegan diet. I do a large amount of cooking from scratch. I also will look for the discount items at stores and plan accordingly from what I find. The most expensive thing I get is Yogurt because it’s where I get my protein besides beans.

    This week I was making vegan Bahn Mi sandwiches. (Cilantro, Pickled carrots, Pickled radish, cucumber, green onion, tofu, and Avacado that was bought the previous week, baguette)

    $6 Yogurt $12 vegetables/fruits $1 Bread $3 sting cheese Cheese $2 Tofu $5 premade non perishable food items $12 bulk energy drinks, this will last me a while. Found them on discount. $3 pickles

    So, we are up to over $40, but because I bought stuff in bulk this week. Next week it will probably be $25 or so.

    If anyone is in a bind that wants food ideas, hit me up. I love cooking.
