I had my first iron infusion today. -_- Really hoping it helps. Iām so tired of struggling to get up or move. At least it was delivered in a bonus bag of saline so I didnāt have to get iv fluids from the hospital. (Been dodging the er no matter how dehydrated I get because reasons.)Complaining about money
Trying to buy some basics for the community pantry because I havenāt been able to get there in a while and Iām appalled at the Colesworth costs.$10 for a bag of powdered milk, get fucked ya greedy cunts. $8 for a bag of oranges. Generic milk bricks donāt cost much less than brand. Iām hitting up the cheap basics that stretch far like pasta and sauces, rice, noodles, oats, tinned soup spaghetti and baked beans, PB, milk bricks, sugar, tea (also bar soap, TP, toothpaste and menstrual products) but thereās not anything fresh.
I regret being so low income myself.
And my tiny garden isnāt stepping up hard enough. Itās probably costing more to grow than the produce would in the shop.
Unfortunately Iām not able to shop in person and Aldi isnāt always cheaper on everythingā¦ but maybe when Iām less slammed with tests and appointments I can ask to go there and suss out what the best value items are. I really wish they had kept the old āshopping listā feature so you could compare prices on items before going.
I feel frustrated and angry that all the focus on profiteering, price hikes, cost of living increases and thee relevant inquires and reports seem to have achieved bugger all.
Yeah. Maybe the inquiry fixed things for the farmers which is good but nothing has been done for people buying the food.
Same goes for everything else
