Me at home: “I’m gonna meal prep lunch so we can save money since lunch is always $12-15 if I eat cheap.”

Me at register: “Nice! It’ll be a lot of work, but 8 meals worth of food for just $90. Each meal only costs… wait…”

@snazzyq this is a feeling. This is also why I grow stuff ;)
@snazzyq start shopping at ALDI 😁 not that I’m biased…
@snazzyq God this is the struggle. Trying to save a buck just isn't that easy anymore.
@snazzyq usually healthier than the cheap $12-15 options at least!
@snazzyq i never thought of meal prep as a way to save money but as a way to eat healthier on days where you don’t have the time and energy to cook
@snazzyq I’m a big fan of planning my dinners such that I can eat them for lunch the next day
