[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spicy Jalapeño Chicken Sausage

$4.29/12 Oz

Gluten Free
Our Spicy Jalapeño Chicken Sausages employ medium-hot jalapeño peppers, rather than the typical Italian seasonings, to produce a fiery bite. Grill them alongside brightly-colored bell peppers and sliced onions, sauté and serve with scrambled eggs & toast, or throw them under the broiler with buttered Brioche Hot Dog Buns for a quick, satisfying meal on a busy weeknight.

Italian Linguine
$0.99/1 Lb
Kosher
Our Italian Linguine is made with one simple ingredient: durum wheat semolina. We don’t believe that a simple macaroni product that’s been produced for centuries should require a laundry list of added ingredients to achieve tasty results. And let’s get one thing clear: Trader Joe’s Italian Linguine is a tasty product. It can be served with just a little olive oil, but becomes especially tasty when traditionally plated with a simple pesto to coat each elliptical noodle as you spin a bit onto your fork. Other common taste-elavating options include using tomato-based sauces or a light sauce with a seafood addition - think salmon, cod, or shrimp. In as little as 7 to 8 minutes of passively boiling pasta, you can have yourself a plate of Italian Linguine noodles, toothsomely al dente, of course, and you’ll be sending your tastebuds on a flavorful flight 6,000 miles across the Atlantic to our favorite boot shaped nation!

And what is rent, healthcare, gas, insurance, and all the other expenses people earning minimum wage but not being scheduled regular hours are paying?[/quote]

They are a lot.  Nobody has ever said that life on minimum wage is easy.  It's soul draining and the income inequality we have in the United States is an indictment of our society..

That being said, cooking pasta with some sauage is easy and cheap.  It's also an indictment of our society that we have people so detached from reality that they have comvinced themaelves that sausage costs $10 or that basic cooking requires a Viking range and persian saffron.[/quote]

You are the one completely detached from reality.

Lots of these people don't have mommies to cook for them. They are senior citizens or the disabled who can't cook a whole recipe but can warm up food.

Ever watched The Wire? You should so it smashes open your ridiculous world view.[/quote]

You keep doubling and tripling down on the idea that basic cooking is too difficult for normal people.  It's ridiculous, deeply patronizing and oddly misogynistic.

But the worst part is that it is obviously projection and shows how clearly out of touch you are.  Poor people deserve dignity.  [/quote]

Fact:  Counties with the highest dependence on food stamps went for Trump.  So why don't you ask your fellow MAGAs why they are so lazy and why they can't cook and why they eat prepackaged junk?[/quote]

I'm not MAGA.  Trying to make basic cooking a partisan issue is not only stupid but also self-defeating.  As you rightly point out, learned helplessness is a bipartisan issue exacerbated by out of touch upper middle class elites who have either too little or too much compassion for people they've only ever seen on TV.  The noble savage trope is not better.  You're still calling them a savage.[/quote]
