Where are they getting their ingridients from to cook if they shop less? Or do they just eat less? Is this about starvation?

From personal experience:

  • Store brands

  • Self-checkout ("shopping less" on record)

  • Not buying avocado that ripens in 3.23 days and goes bad in 3.56 days. You're on time out, avocado.

Careful with the self check shenanigans, especially at Target. They wait to let you know they know until you reach felony price totals and then have you arrested. https://www.paypath.com/Small-Business/why-target-is-the-worst-store-to-shoplift-from

Damn morality of shoplifting aside that should qualify as entrapment or something. At that point it's not about loss prevention, it's just petty revenge.

And they’re doing it cheerfully, I’m led to believe. Images don’t lie. Look how happy they are.

Why is this a headline? It's just called living within your means. Smart people have been doing this forever, it's nothing news worthy.
