This might be the most stereotypically American thing I’ve ever seen
I mean, you’re not wrong.
I grew up poor, mom had 0 cooking skill, mac and cheese and sliced hot dogs was pretty common.
I can try to spin that positively as ‘at leasr I have more experience being broke than most people who are new to being broke’, lol.
Man hotdogs in KD is still awesome. Hotdogs in beans is also great.
Thank you, I’d seen something like this before, did not manage to snag a copy that time =D
In Britain it would be “try with BANGERS instead of blood pudding”
No one would call that donkeys anus in a temu bratwurst, a banger.
claps
Not going to lie, I call this the “fuck we’re out of bread” when she says she wants a hot dog. I don’t care for hot dogs much, but I just leave them in the freezer door and they last.
What a privilege it is to live in walking distance to a supermarket - this problem doesn’t even exist for me, being out of something just means I walk 4 minutes and buy it.
I grew up across the street from a large grocery store, and around the corner from a convenience store, but still my mom would stockpile many months worth of stuff like flour, sugar, oats, spices, tea…
I mean, if you manage to get good discounts and have spare room, I guess go ahead.
I’d rather not pay for mass amounts of storage for what is usually a comparatively small saving on bulk purchases
When I lived in Florida it was like that. It would be about 3.5 hours walking for me to do it where I am now.
According to Google maps, a one way walking trip to the nearest grocery store would take 4 hours and 36 minutes for me.
When she says she wants a hot dog, she’s not talking about the kind you have to cook :-D
Bad Hanson go back to embarrassing yourself on YouTube.

I mean it’s just some pasta and seasoning that you add beef to, it’s not even that weird
