Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

They should because high gaz prices means everything is more expensive since everything is shipped by truck or boat.
Maybe eventually, but so far nothing has really changed. Aldi still costs us under £15 each for a week of food and that is without even putting real effort into keeping prices down.
If I needed to cut prices down I would probably eat more oats/rice and less cheese. Also fuel is only part of transport costs, even if fuel price doubled the maintenance and staff wages wouldn't.
I have to say I'm impressed with your 15 quid budget. Mind share the kind of basket that gets?
Varies of course but frequently buy: Potatoes, carrots, peppers, onions, lettuce, kidney beans, tortillas, bread, chicken, cheese.
Somewhat less frequently as it lasts more than a week or I buy a bunch at a time: Flour, tomato puree, spicy/bbq sauces, soy sauce, rice, pasta, chopped tomatoes, chickpeas, oats
