$100 groceries for 4? Bullshit.

Since I’m getting downvoted by Lemmidiots, there are websites to look this up:

100% bullshit. Unless he is eating straight trash. I fucking lived in mainland. This is just bullshit from the worst kind of expat who likes to bask in their smugness and explain how they got it all figured out.
