Goop was spotted at a trendy restaurant this week, which means, she just wasn't able to live with a grocery budget that po-folks on food stamps get. They gave her the average amount, (they say) and THIS is what the dumb bitch bought for $27 bucks. Well, goodness. I see we could cook our own black beans and rice with some veg. Sounds good, but, then what? Hmm, how about left over black beans and rice on a tortilla. Yeah! Also good. Eggs for breakfast, no toast, no butter. Not so good. A salad for lunch. And black beans and rice. Eggs, then a salad, black beans and rice. Just repeat that for a week and see how much you like black beans and rice then. The seven limes? Ya got me. Seasoning, lime aid, face mask with lime and avocado, a nice citrus vaginal steam? Fucked if I know. Po-folks stay outta the fresh produce area a lot, the meat area even more. Fresh produce aint cheap. I grow a lot of ours, but, in Winter, hey, I can live without a $2 dollar tasteless tomato. Meat prices are now out of control. Here they want $10 bucks for a scrawny roasting chicken. A T-bone is $14-18 dollars. Even ground beef has to be passed up sometimes. You wait for sales to buy meat and freeze it. Where's the boxed mac and cheese? Mix in canned peas and the kids love it. The instant oatmeal? Milk? Goop, you need some bread, geez. At our house, we always have a big bowl of whatever fruit is in season. We also have soda pop, I'll admit it. Sometimes it's store brand. You can get that for a nickel a can. We like Kool Aid too. Tuna Helper is actually good, if you doctor it up. Hamburger Helper is a greasy nasty mess. Oh, add a big bag of store brand fake cereal. Get 'em, like Fruity O's. They don't know the difference. Cereal is consumed here by the truckload, it seems. Tonight we're having taters and fresh green beans, hamburger steak and corn on the cob (cheap now for some reason.) I don't do dessert. If you want that, go scrounge around in the cabinet or freezer. I'm sure you'll find something unhealthy and sweet.
You know, for all her talk about who she can relate to (average peasant women) and nutrition and her fancy pants cooking vids..she knows shit about eating like a normal person. Why did she even bother to do this? She ended up looking so stupid. That photo she posted says it all for me.

I hate empty headed big mouthed celebs, this one in particular. They have no idea how people live. They are more than willing to tell us what to do. Come live my life for a week. Hell, I'd appreciate it. Bring your cleaning lady and an accountant.
That can't possibly be $27 can it??
I think both you and I could stretch that money much further than she did.
This just shows how out of touch she is. She doesn't have a clue how other people eat, or how they shop. I guarantee you that she paid way too much for this stuff. It's possible that all these items are organic, and that was her main focus. I would bet that she hardly eats. (The olives in martinis don't count.)
You are so right. There would be hardly any variation in that diet. Silly, isn't it? She sets herself up as this great, knowledgeable guru, but knows next to nothing.

I spent $26 today and got three bags. That will be a weeks worth with the things we have on hand. I planned several pretty good meals too. Some shit lazy meals, like sammies and frozen pizza. But, yeah Goopie is a dim bulb who has no clue. Oh and I am doing dessert. I found angel food cake on sale and I have berries and cool whip in the freezer. Yum.
I saw this when it came out. The first thing I thought about were the limes. What in the hell would a family with little to spend on food do with limes?
Such an asshole! Why does she keep this stupid shit up?
I got a bar b que chicken for 8 bucks, beans, cottage cheese. Good for me AND the dog for 2 to 3 days. He has his with dry dog food.
Can you get a message to Mary Mary? In San Bernardino there was a guy who stole a car, car chase, stole a horse and rode up a hill until cops got him. They beat him and he'll collect money. They fired the cops. But the deal is the guy has a violent record and the horse was injured being forced up the hill and a previous arrest was for shooting to death a puppy in front of his kids. So fuck him. It's in Mary's and my news, and i would' t want her to feel sorry for the animal killing and abusing creep.
Border, your message had been delivered.
yes, Jane, po-folks need limes. For our Tequilla shots that we drink because we so po.
I would never buy kool aid or crap cola. Wouldn't feed a kid anything with a flavor pack of chemicals ever. You can eat healthy on a budget.
She wanted to school everyone and failed.
YOU can eat healthy all day long. We eat what we eat, and by that I mean, I eat mostly fruit and veg. The kid will now eat some decent meals, but, she will not eat decent every night. I have given up trying to make her. I buy her what I know she will eat, I don't ever want her to go hungry. She likes frozen chicken nuggets and crap I wouldn't touch. But, she's a kid. We compromise. No, she can't have Mt. Dew for breakfast, but, she can have it after school. She gets so many a week and she can divy it the way she wants. When it's gone, no more until next week. I happen to like kool aid myself. I like the red and green. Just let ppl eat what they want, okay? You are not schooling anyone on here about nutrition.
Meissa, she really thought she did a good job until it was pointed out to her, the limes were her only seasoning. The challenge said, you could not add things you had on hand. She is a dumbo. She could have gone to McDs, ordered a dollar burger, tossed it in the trash and kept the salt and pepper packets. LAMO!
I noticed that too with the salt. Can you imagine rice and beans with no salt?
I agree with everybody's budget suggestions. & also, potatoes, bananas, carrots are cheap produce that I buy all the time. When I was in school my breakfast was always a hard boiled egg and a banana (buy them green). Trade the fresh tomato for cherry tomatoes--cheaper and they last longer. And I'd trade in 2 of her expensive organic limes ($1.29 a piece where I shop) for pack of hotdogs.
Gwyneth is such an ass.
