Who the hell can even afford this?!?

it has nothing to do with marketing and everything to do with making every cent count. Nutrigrain, frozen bacon and doritos don't go very far. Rice and a frozen chook is half the price and feeds you for an entire week. Making your own corn chips from Polenta (yellow corn chips) or flour (white corn chips) is far more economical and really doesn't take much time. Not only that, but your house mates will think your a fucking wizard for conjuring up so much food for so little price.

Something tells me that uni students today aren't half as smart as they pretend to be, all this bitching and moaning about cost of living might be because they're spending too much money on junk food and entertainment and not learning basic urban survival. I get that rent prices are up, we're all feeling that, but wasting money on shit food when you can make your own for 1/10th of the price is just cringe.
