I hope this is a fictitious example and he's not actually paying almost $20 for a cookie.
But I've talked to enough Californians to know how much some people are willing to pay for things.
Maybe with DoorDash fees, but if that's the case then this guy fucking deserves bankruptcy.
Mfer door dashing cookies one at a time
If it is from Crumbl, thus seems more than possible
"Food $200
Data $150
Rent $800
Cookies $3,600
Utility $150
someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying"
“Spend less on cookies”
“No”
At $20/cookie, this is 180 cookies per month, or an average of 6 cookies per day.
Yeah. Their family is dying. They need to spend more on cookies, not less.
You're right I vote to get rid of the food budget entirely. That's 10 more cookies a month.
I hope nobody is stupid enough to pay $3.75 for a cookie, let alone any of those other prices!
Depends on the cookie.
Hey man, Cookie is a nice girl. She's doing the best she can in this economy.
See the Cookie I know is neither, but 20 bucks for the slop he cooks after they shot his taste buds off in the army should be a crime.
A friend of mine moved to SF right out of college. A year or so later, he told me that he visited Busch Gardens Williamsburg which is a theme park near where we grew up. It was originally owned by Anheuser-Busch, so you can get beer basically anywhere in the park.
He had this to say:
"You know, this is the first time I've been since turning 21. I was surprised to see how cheap the beer was. They were only charging $8 a pint."
Was he surprised a pint of beer in general was $8 or specifically at an amusement park? Because, for the latter, that is surprising.
He was surprised it was $8 in an amusement park.
This was also like 14 years ago. Might need to update the dollar amount when I tell this story.
Yeah if you’re used to California prices most places feel like a deal. I don’t bat an eye paying $4.70 a gallon for gas currently.
This guy's buying cookies from Erewhon
How much are they prepared to pay for things?
What the going rate for a doodad these days?
