He would calculate price per slice of bread and buy the cheapest. He would do this for everything and would take hours shopping... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HubertManne@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Im not that bad but I do sorta consider it a puzzle game. Sorta a "fun" math activity to keep my brain active like doing suduko. Honestly I don't see a point at price per slice as you would just get really thinly sliced bread. Should be per ounce. Honestly bread is one of those things I spring for the xspenciv stuff in the bakery section or I will do one of the fancy brownberry type with oats and nuts or potato. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vrek@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I understand where you come but I do sympathize with him(he had 4 kids from 2 mother's so money was always tight). He took FOREVER shopping though. One time we went shopping together, I got all my food, checked out, drove home, put all my food away, took a shower, watched a show on Netflix, drove back to the store and he said "almost done, 10 more minutes"... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HubertManne@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago ouch. don't tell you friend but the opening montage of idiocracy comes to mind. permalink fedilink source parent
