    When I was poor I ate boiled chicken and rice for every dinner. Breakfast was either cereal+milk (you can try ringing up multiple boxes at the self checkout using a “small” box but bag the bigger boxes), or yogurt+granola (I’d steal granola by ringing up bulk granola as cheaper bulk items and ring up the single yogurt cup in a 6 pack and pay <1/6 the actual cost).

      Petty theft rings too true. Had a friend that worked at one of those bulk ingredient shops who’d regularly just take home like a kilo of rice or flour. They don’t check anyway and it hardly affects their bottom line.
