    At $1.80 per meal you could either eat for an entire year, or buy one Balenciaga t-shirt.

    Idk about you lot but I know what I’m choosing.

      I mean. Who needs to eat when you can have a whole t-shirt? /s

        see this is why being poor is a choice. you would frivolously waste your money on food that you can only eat once, rather than invest that money in a tshirt that could be used to advertise a reputable brand forever. think of the networking opportunity! do you know how many billionaires got their start by investing in the right tshirt rather than indulging in luxuries like “food”?

        They start at $500 and go up from there. Now that I actually calculate it and don’t just do sleepy mental math it’s closer to the cost of one meal a day for a year (ca. $650) rather than all three meals (ca. $2000). Either way, the prices are completely absurd.
