8/31/26. Worth 20 dollars each? That’s at least two meals for me.

This decadent capitalist is grossed out by free protein

Cardboard contains precious calories galore!

I was in it for the 1950's cold war bomb proof steel monument of a chair.

I know this is a wildly controversial hot take for a sub dedicated to saving money... but hear me out! - buying second-hand items is actually cheaper than buying them new!!!

I have completely banished the fatcat luxury malls from my existence. Instead, I expend 8,000 precious calories a day taking pilgrimage to the sacred, dust-filled mecca of Goodwill. I do not even buying anything, just absorb the ambient skin flakes of previous owners into my lungs for free nutrients.

But guys… I am terrified. Is this strange?

To those of you who somehow convinced a partner to love you... how did you break the news that your shirt previously touched another human body? Did they weep?? Did they file a restraining order?? Have you ARRESTED???

I know mainstream society views wearing a pre-owned cotton blend as a shameful mark of utter, destitute poverty punishable by exile... but I am living this rogue "lifestyle" anyway. I’ve met fatcat women in the wild who buy clothes brand new at full retail price (🤢), and frankly, I think they’re just terrified of looking like they live on a diet of single lentils.

Meanwhile, *I* am out here braving total social ostracization, one $0.50 faded 2012 H&M tee at a time. ✊😔

Brothers and sisters, I shall keep up the good fight!

(P.S. Also… household goods… thrift store!! I know, I know. Your minds are blown 😏 but you can actually buy a dead person's used wooden spoon instead of carving one out of a fallen branch. You. are. welcome.)

Edit: Typing this post cost me 4 calories, I will now be sleeping for three weeks to recover.

has anyone tried just walking in with their food? supposedly they dont care anymore. but i dont wanna risk getting stopped with food in front of everyone.

if you know of a theater that doesnt care, what chain is it?

also, has anyone tried bringing in a backpack?
