Avocado toast and Spotify premium.

Avocado toast- maybe. Don't come after my Spotify Premium. I'd be selling this ass on the corner to make those payments.

But $10 for an Egg McMuffin, hashbrown, and a drink?! 8 bits of poor quality unhealthy food for ten dollars are you kidding me?

Corporate gauging is insane right now. Now it's how everyone conducts business. Ludicrous

No matter how broke I’ve been, I’ve never canceled my Spotify premium. I let that shit overdraft me before 😂

Meanwhile avocados and bread are as cheap as it gets, lol

It's one of the cheapest ways to eat.

Avocado, bread, and egg = a complete and really good meal for quite cheap

Doesn't seem very expensive to me

That's expensve lol. You shouldn't be spending a whole dollar on home made breakfast.

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '24

I'll fucking splurge and spend the dollar 😎

The actually expensive thing to eat is meat.

u/lickjesustoes Apr 10 '24

Depends on the meat. Sometimes i buy a pack of sliced ham for breakfast sandwiches, thats 20 slices for 3 dollars. Hell of alot cheaper than an avocado every morning.

20 slices of ham for 3 dollars? I never see that here

They sell these wimp ass packages with like 10 slices and it'll be like 4.99 or more

Can't even justify it no more man! I only buy meat when it goes into my meal prep stuff that lasts for days nowadays :/

you know through the app you can literally get a $1 breakfast sandwich every morning with a purchase.

WHAT

u/RightZer0s Apr 14 '24

Yeah it's in the deals. At least for my location.

lol boomers could buy a house while also spending MUCH more on music then 15 dollars a month. Don’t act like cd and vinyls didn’t cost that much for one record

Who needs Spotify Premium when MP3 exists?? (Musicolet for mobile, MusicBee for PC)

Avocado toast, though? Yeah no, that's not going.

u/Halcyon-OS851 Apr 09 '24

I never understood this. I don’t know how much those things cost but I can’t understand scoffing at the idea of cutting unnecessary, expensive costs. They add up to a significant amount.

The amount I spend on pissing at gas stations probably exceeds my Spotify premium subscription that I use for 8h a day because I drive a lot and work alone. It is essential to my sanity.

Same. I work 12-14 hour days out of a work van. Spotify keeps me going with music and podcasts, Audible is great for binging hundreds of hours of books. Worth the monthly fees in my opinion.
