i'm not in america, though...
monies have different values here
you could easily bin all that stuff in america for like six bucks

poor people with cancer are dead

All of what you posted is pretty typical American prices.

It almost perfectly matches what I get at WalMart every week lol

I live in a place that has an average personal income of 48,288.

Pack of three bell peppers is 14 dollars, block of cheese is 17, 2L of pop is 16.50, etc., etc.

I no longer eat meat with the exception of some chicken unless its something iv killed myself at this point. When I travel I ship up action packers full of food. Additional savings far out weighs extra bag fees. The people who actually make average income likley don't travel and they perpetually suffer.

grow your own! not the soda tho, soda bushes dont grow well that far north. cheese vines tho!

I do have an Aero garden for herbs a s spices since most things are not available here.

Works well, minimal maintenance.

i'd love to do more indoors, but my cats will eat or piss in any dirt i put inside.....

this year tho i built a couple cold frames in raised beds, so i'll be growing lettuce, kale, basil, and a few other odds and ends all winter.

Sorry to hear that for those people. I'd imagine the weather is probably crap too. At least you're probably stacking. Personally that's what I would do if i was still single and childless. Do it for 5 years for a nice nest egg and then move down to a non frozen tundra shithole.

I remember awhile back when I worked for the gov't being able to take a job in sub-arctic Alaska for close to 6 figures...literally no one was biting on that posting, it just kept coming back week after week lol.

I love the north. My wife and I are always out atving and camping, also have a 7x9 canvas tent that's much larger that I just move spot to spot depending what lake I want to be on.

I love fishing pulling around my komotik by skidoo. December January and February as months where nothing happens though, but I typically leave for a month and a half during that time. We get an automatic 20 paid days for holidays during that time period that don't use vacation or lieu time. I just go skiing and visit family.

We can't staff. No one wants to live the life style. It is minus 65C during some months. I always have skin coming off my face.

I would take a job in Sub Arctic Alaska any day. They have beautiful peaks. Closest I have been is Inuvik, Akavik and Tuk
