Never thought I'd see hexbears chiding people for not cutting out the avocado toast. Could that number be lower? Certainly. Is the problem here people spending too much on groceries? Certainly not. I'm not about to blame people for spending more than the lowest possible amount on groceries when they're tired, overworked, and short on time. If someone comes home from an 8 hour day that's actually 10 hours because of the commute, I can't blame them for putting a frozen pizza in the oven instead of busting out the pots and cutting boards to make beans and rice for the 5th day in a row.

I'm not saying that at all. More surprised

Also you don't need a cutting board for beans and rice lol

Fair enough, and sorry for my response being kinda rude. Social media makes me assume the worst of people and I need to work on that. Also maybe it's a skill issue on my part, but I cannot make beans and rice (or any other legume) that isn't bland without some onion and garlic.
