See that shit at the flea market I frequent. There's a booth that just sells soap and laundry detergent. Like Irish spring and Tide. It's not cheaper than Walmart. I saw this family with 5 dirty screaming kids there the other day buying it and a bag of expired doughnuts. I did buy a Lane cedar chest there for $30 that I can flip for a couple hundred so that made it worth it.

Which is just insane btw. At costco you can get 22lbs of chicken breast + thighs for around $90 and a 25lb bag of rice for about $22. You can have a full pound of chicken and rice for 3/4 weeks in the month for practically nothing. You can go even cheaper if you just get ground pork and beef and make mexican food often since a lb of fresh ground pork goes for $2.99 at @bartendercel's grocery store.

>i dont have the time

You've got an hour on sunday to bread and freeze a good part if you want to fry it, other days its as simple as move a bag from the freezer to the fridge to defrost then season and cook on a pan the next day, theres nothing complex about this, especially as the costco chicken literally comes prebagged ready to freeze. Chicken is pretty good as is with salt, pepper and pan fried over a bit of butter and that takes no more than 10 mins. My go to is literally a 20 min meal (including prep) where I just slice chicken, dice an onion and toss it in a wok with a blend of chili paste, coconut milk and spices.

Pasta with homemade sauce in industrial quantities is as easy as 20 mins as well and thats mostly to let it simmer and develop it cab be ready in as short as 5 if you're really in a rush. Theres no reason to never cook unless you're peak pleb or so neurodivergent you cannot get into the concept of a quick meal.

The type of poor seething on Twitter wouldn't be caught dead in second hand gear unless it was ironic thrifting. Someone too r-slurred to save a couple hundred dollars a year for a vacation pays full price for new products, subscribes to every streaming service, and spends a fortune on weed (totally not addicted tho).

Skiing is like road cycling. The amount you have to spend on equipment before you can even start skiing is a lot. This keeps out the poors. I guess you can rent stuff though.
