    Bulk is cheaper per unit. But if you can’t buy the unit… Please slow down and realize a day might be a bridge too far.

      I literally sometimes was going a day without food, or on 400 calories or less. I’d lay with a pillow or a hard object under my stomach to calm the hunger pain. I’d drink a lot of water at once to feel full. I’d walk miles on my free days (when I had the energy) to the local forest to forage (mostly got nopales to make with eggs).

      Bulk is cheaper overall. If you can’t buy the bulk unit, you can’t buy, well, anything, because paychecks aren’t daily (other than when working for tips, but you can save for specific bulk items then, and being a waiter can have food perks), and bulk items will last you longer than a day. Rice and beans last longer than a day, and a large bag of both of extremely cheap and can last you 5 days easily if you eat once a day.

      You’re literally telling someone who was in extreme poverty how to survive extreme poverty.

        I’m glad you’re no longer in extreme poverty.

        I suppose the lifestyle and definition of poor is different in the US because, simultaneously, 60% of Americans live at or below the level of poverty and is one of the most overweight nations globally.

        My assumption is that over several decades, ultra capitalism has forced everyone in the nation to consume on a daily basis. So, not purchasing something in one day is near impossible because of the way their society is set up.

        And yet your failing to recognize that not being able to buy cheap bulk means buying more expensive per unit that is less up front?

          I literally just addressed that. I’d suspect you of being a bot at this point but then you wouldn’t have grammar mistakes.

            You didn’t address it. Did you also buy bulk toilet paper or detergent? If you are that poor you can’t take advantage of bulk savings because you can’t pay upfront. Regardless of purchase.
