Fast food to fill the belly and alcohol to numb the mind was cheap. It’s so different now. Sam’s club is just as good as Costco if it’s closer for this purpose.

We also had 99 cent stores that had a massive grocery area and you could get a week’s worth of groceries for $15 or less. 😭 Stuff was affordable and my rent in 2008 was $500 for a one bedroom.

Get used to the not bougie ramen. You want to make it better? Add some on sale veggies and some of that Costco chicken.
