your tags on the ice cream post??? ppl can be so nasty and rude im sorry abt that

i feel you on the food stuff too tbh like they have no right to be charging a dollar+ for single pack snack food and other cheap stuff but theres no stores that sell it that low anymore... like my mom loves diet coke but she has this rule where she only buys it if its under a dollar per bottle at most places and nowadays even if its on sale its not that low anymore. like what do you even do

Yeah, it’s okay! We barely go in there anyway (I only go in with my Mom if we’re out shopping since she likes to buy candy for herself there (she has Gojo levels of a sweet tooth and always has a bunch of candy that I like to beg for. She’s always like “why not buy any for yourself 🙄!!? Ugh. Here! I can’t have anything around here,” lmfao. I don’t buy candy for myself like that, I just eat whatever others buy most of the time. I’m more of a chip/pastry person anyway.)

One time, we needed paper plates and that shop was the only place to have any around our house and the next best place that would’ve had them was too far of a walk and my mom is disabled so that was a no go. We only walk down there when we can. It makes for a nice exercise I guess. The shop ran by the the racist Arabs only had one thing of paper plates left and they were all banged up but my mom really wanted them and I was like “nah… look at the shape of these paper plates-“ (all bent up) and the dude working there kept on trying to haggle us about still buying them like “I’ll take 10 cents off!” Like bro, that’s nothing. You’re trying to sell us messed up merchandise, you might as well give it to us for free. He was getting an attitude and everything and mom still bought them like 😭👎🏾!!! Don’t give these people your money!!! They’re rude as hell and it’s so obvious that they don’t like black people lmfao.

Got off topic but it’s so sad like I REMEMBER when all of this stuff used to cost literally nothing!!! You used to be able to get a lot of goodies for $5… now, one little thing of whatever might cost just that… like, I legit think the only things that have never increased in prices are those hug drinks??? These drinks have been like 25-50 cent since I was a toddler/ probably even before that 😭!!! The knockoff variants of these are about the same price!!! Even the larger ones are like 50 cent!!! I just bought one a few weeks about and I said to myself “wow, these have been holding the hood down for literal decades, bro. Still fucking 25-50 cent. Incredible, incredible!!!”
