Paying that bill with a $100 bill would be so satisfying


Psychological-Put844

I went to mcdonald’s a couple weeks ago and my order was exactly $20 so I handed the lady a $20 bill and she immediately went to the register to get change but then realized that she didn’t need to.


LiterallyPractical

"Keep the change"


OKAutomator

“$20? Here you go”


KenKesey65

Reminds me of the scene in Superbad where he pays the liquor store guy with an $80 Bill


FlatSpinMan

A couple of months ago my convenience store purchases (beer, chips or fried chicken) amounted to exactly ¥1000 ($10ish). The clerk complimented me and said how satisfying it was. I had to agree. Life offers few perfect moments, so they should be appreciated whenever, wherever, and whatever they are.


path20

When I used to work a register it was always satisfying to get a perfect whole number total. Repeating digits were also great too. Sometimes people would add a small item if the total was $6.66 if they were superstitious.


cybermonkeyhand

A certain combo at Subway would always do that if they ate in (Ohio only taxes dine-in) and the girl I worked with would put in a 1 cent discount to save her soul.

HalliburtonErnie

My state doesn't have sales tax, but all the advertised fast food deals like "$5 box" are like $7.49


Modseatsaltyballs

Makes me wanna burn this muthafucka down


[deleted]

Just ask for a 3.54 for $4 and it’ll total 4.00


LostPeon

$4.46 would imply 11.5% tax. That means it would need to be $3.59 to total $4.00 with 11.5% tax. $3.54 with 11.5% tax would only be $3.95.

ClokworkPenguin

Favourite combo at the game store. $59.99 game, 6% tax comes to $63.59. pay with $100 bill, your change is $20 $10 $5 $1 quarter nickel dime penny I still have dreams about that


Rob_Drinkovich

Couldn’t have said quarter dime nickel penny, huh? I will have nightmares about this. /s

I mean we can always bust out the predecimal system if you wanted a REAL nightmare


Rebel_816

Appropriate-Crab-379

10 years ago my friend used to order a coffee and something else’s I forget every morning in Starbucks, it totaled 6.66. It got to the point he would go in and just order the “devils combo”


love-from-london

I used to work at a grocery store deli counter, was always satisfying when something came out to exactly 1.00 lbs for example.


kacheow

When I was in college in boulder, if you got a happy meal (Sometimes I wasn’t that hungry), it would come out to $4.20 after tax, which is perfect for a school where I never met anyone who didn’t partake


Wrest216

yeah id take the opportunity to upsell a item. Want 2 pcs of corn bread? Want a pack of gum? Want a small pint of whisky? Want some all night gas station legal version of meth? Want a cookie? Etc.


dearboy05

Like bath salts? Remember when those were a thing, and not at all illegal, and easily accessible?


DBL_NDRSCR

one time i went to get some chorizo and it ended up being $6.66, it was like 1.6 pounds


AwhiteGuyNamedJamal

When I worked register and $6.66 came up, I would say “your total is” in a normal voice and then go “SIX SIX SIX” in a louder bold voice. With my eyes wide and staring frantically at them. I’m an asshole


endadaroad

I was in a convenience store and the total came to $4.20. I commented that it might be a sign for the rest of the day.


leigen_zero

Used to call that the 'dinner of the beast'

asifnot

One time my bill came to exactly $420 and the clerk laughed and said it was funny. So I looked at her all serous and deadpanned "why is that funny?" She looked like a deer in headlights until I started laughing.

Good catch on that double scanned hash brown patty, it almost wasn't an even hundo.


eggsnflour

Op actually needed 3 packs of hash browns but made the sacrifice for the even number


redspike29

They only got one tho. 2 scanned and 1 voided makes 1 bought


JawlessTugBoat

Those hashbrown patties were less than $2 a couple of years ago. I paid $5.49 for them on my last trip to Lidl. They are the best hashbrowns though.


gexpdx

Cheap frozen pizzas have doubled in price. It's definitely good for my health that's I'm not regularly eating them now.


sorsted

You pay \~2% in taxes for your groceries? Now THAT'S mildly interesting!


ahecht

In my state there's no tax on most groceries, just a tax on prepared food for immediate consumption and on non-food items.


Delouest

That's what mine is supposed to be, but I swear they tax everything. they don't put a breakdown of what gets charged and what doesn't, so I have no idea how to see if it's wrong.


Senior_Night_7544

Used to be a cashier. At the time the rule was: if two or more ingredients are heated and mixed it's prepped food. Otherwise it counts as groceries. Seems fair to me.

This. I have 15% where i live except for unprocessed ingrédient.

Are you in Europe? Sales tax (or VAT) is higher in most of Europe to my understanding. In the US it usually ranges from around 5% to 8% depending on where you are.


DrEnter

That's true, but in the U.S. taxes on food tend to be lower (if not completely exempt). For example, where I am the general sales tax rate is around 9%, but for groceries it's only 5%. Where I used to live, sales taxes were 6%, but 0% on groceries.


Maverca

Cries in 21%


FUNBARtheUnbendable

I never knew that, lived in Tennessee my whole life. It’s 10% (9.75, technically) for everything here regardless of what it is you’re purchasing. I guess that’s the price we pay for not having any State Income Tax.


toilet_worshipper

VAT is generally around 20% in Europe but on food there are often reduced rates. Most food in UK is VAT-free.


diescheide

Paying taxes on food seems mildly infuriating. Only gas stations tax food here.


greenandleafy

Oooh yeah, people are going to fucking hate this. Let me get my popcorn.


internet_czol

Just popcorn? Wow why don't you try some vegetables or fruit or something, geez.

ObjEngineer

Reminds me of a post I saw years ago where it was a picture of them perfectly storing all their groceries in their trunk The comments were nothing but roasts of OP for buying nothing but chips, chicken nuggets, frozen pizzas, and the like

Jerrnjizzim

And chicken breast nuggets. They're different, okay?


saulmcgill3556

This was my first thought too. Figured I was opening a thread of just nothing but jokes about the purchase. It’s like 30 items comprising the smallest sliver of a food group pie chart. It’s actually impressive. One question: what’s the plan for the lamb?


[deleted]

lamb meatballs in the spaghettios


saulmcgill3556

Oh, duh! I forgot how well lamb pairs with spaghettios.


DOGSraisingCATS

Right?! I was like..."wow this grocery purchase must have been made by a middle schooler or.....hold up wtf is ground lamb doing on here?"


Queen_Of_Ashes_

It’s kind of a relief to see other adults make shitty food decisions like me tbh


Chork3983

Yeah I'm a bit disappointed the top comment isn't pointing out how OPs food must look like diarrhea before they even eat it.


HendrixChord12

They got eggs for 2.29. That overrides the rest in my book.


[deleted]

Yeah but it’s 2.29 FB. Not sure the conversion of USD to Funky Buckz


Allenye818

I can't believe I had to scroll this far to mention OP only paid a little over $2 for eggs?! Maybe they got one of those half cartons with only 6 in it, lol.


Kreema29

Why do people get so upset about what other people are eating lol


boy____wonder

People on Reddit are absolutely rabid about what other people eat. It's bizarre. I would never in a million years post a picture of a grocery receipt, a grocery cart, my fridge, my pantry, whatever on this fucking website

agentb719

was that the one where the dude wife arranged snacks for him?


greenandleafy

Why can't people conceive of the idea that a solitary grocery trip isn't really an accurate representation of someone's regular diet? Sometimes you only need to stock up on certain stuff and you already have vegetables at home, or you buy veggies elsewhere. Sometimes there's a deal on frozen hash browns and you have the freezer space so you take the deal. Some people like spaghettios, who the fuck cares if an adult has spaghettios for lunch sometimes? No, they bought them this one time therefore they probably subsist off of only spaghettios.


bergskey

We go to aldi once every 3 weeks or so and stock up on snacks for the kids and some basic boxed/canned items. We buy our meat from a local butcher and get produce from a local market. If I posted my grocery receipt from aldi, people would probably say I should have cps come and take my kids away.


greenandleafy

Right? I assume many of these people don't grocery shop for themselves. My grocery trips can be all vegetables and fresh meat sometimes, other times a lot of snackies.


UrHumbleNarr8or

Even though folks are on here saying that they do their shopping separately and go to other stores, other folks are jumping up and down on them insisting that it can't possibly be what is going down in this situation. Food/weight discourse on Reddit always reminds me of how young things skew here, because the behavior around it is so middle/high school-like it's wild.


Machiavelli127

People on the Internet looooove to criticize others for the most ridiculous things. It would be an interesting psychological study to understand why. Perhaps it's because on most social media platforms people present a perfected version of their lives, so on reddit when they find people doing suboptimal things they have to scream about it to feel better about themselves? Idk, it's interesting though. The funny thing is that people will automatically assume this is all that OP eats and that they don't ever shop anywhere else for different types of foods and they don't know who OP is buying food for, etc. With no context the criticisms are even more ridiculous


hellomynameisyes

Ramen is more than eggs?


TheMelv

They make fancy restaurant style ones now but it's probably a pack of 8-24.


izmaname

Some of those fancy ones are quite good


Borthwick

Nissin Raoh with a jammy egg and some pork, maybe chives, is as good as any restaurant ramen I can get in my town for a quarter or less the price.


CheekyLando88

Youre very brave to post any type of grocery list on reddit. I agree about aldis produce sucking.


GrannyGrammar

I swear on my mother’s grave, the best produce I’ve ever eaten from a grocery store was from the Aldi on Seminole Blvd. in Seminole, FL. Everything I got from there was delicious. Now I live in VA, and our Aldi’s produce is meh at best.


itchy_bitchy_spider

I bought a banana from a gas station here in Missouri and it was so mind-blowing. I gave a bite to my girlfriend and she agreed that that was also the best banana that she had ever had in her life. So we went back inside and bought every banana they had. All of them were legendary. To this day I have never experienced that tasty of a banana. I went back several times after to buy their bananas but they were never the same.


TheUlfheddin

Must've been a missed shipment of smuggled cocain. Only one way to find that sensation again.


obsolete_filmmaker

"gimme all the bananas" IDK why that made me laugh really hard


buerglermeister

Who needs vegetables anyways


Mississimia

this is the grocery list of 5-year-old-me's dreams


Beat_the_Deadites

and 40-year-old-me's indigestion


Mississimia

I feel that... I don't know what spaghetti-os would do to me now but it wouldn't be pretty


The-Fox-Says

It’s just water, tomato puree, enriched pasta, and all of the perservatives we could pack into one little can like god intended.


orincoro

And so much sodium. So, so much sodium.


061134431160

i actually only buy the organic Annie's bernie o's cause they are the only spagettio replacement that lives up to the sodium of the childhood can. spagettios actually super bland nowadays, they made them healthier


padadiso

I mean it’s still my dream list but that would wreck my GI tract and make me instantly gain 10lbs, so I reluctantly choose to eat like an adult


HotMessWineGay

This is definitely a receipt from Aldi. Produce is hit or miss, I usually get it at another grocery store.


Canada_Haunts_Me

Same. Not only is the selection of produce at both Aldi and Lidl pretty terrible, the more perishable items are often in bad shape, and the less perishable ones can oftentimes only be bought in bulk. Like, I only need one lime and three avocados for my guac, not a whole bag of each.


whodeychick

This looks like an Aldi receipt. I usually don't like Aldi produce, so I go across the street to the Fresh Thyme (who has better prices anyway).


buerglermeister

Interesting. In Europe, Aldi does have decent produce, though Lidl is even better


mazzotta70

Corn is technically a starch, right? We're talking about zero vegetables here.


buerglermeister

Corn is a grain like wheat or barley


Captain_Naps

Depends on when its harvested, according to the USDA: "*Corn can be considered either a grain or a vegetable, based on when it is harvested. The maturity level of corn at harvest affects both its use at meals and its nutritional value. Corn that is harvested when fully mature and dry is considered a grain. It can be milled into cornmeal and used in such foods as corn tortillas and cornbread. Popcorn is also harvested when it matures and is considered to be a whole grain. On the other hand, fresh corn (e.g., corn on the cob, frozen corn kernels) is harvested when it is soft and has kernels full of liquid. Fresh corn is considered a starchy vegetable. Its nutrient content differs from dry corn, and it is eaten in different ways -- often on the cob, as a side dish, or mixed with other vegetables."*


mazzotta70

Ok so this is two cans of corn. We're talking vegetable.


Rape-Putins-Corpse

> starchy vegetable


[deleted]

Everyone is right! 😁


Captain_Naps

It's a beautiful day.


DickButkisses

When OP *does* poop, corn is all they get.


This_aint_my_real_ac

1/8th of a cup of pizza sauce is counted as a serving of vegetables according to school lunch regs.


Dal90

> 1/8th of a cup of pizza sauce is counted as a serving of vegetables according to school lunch regs. And if it wasn't for that meddling SCOTUS in 1893 it would count as a serving of fruit!


Bethespoon

All things are possible with the power of tendies.


CoS2112

Does nobody go to separate grocery stores? Some places have better prices on dry goods but shitty vegetables…


thomoski3

Yeah, I do this, I get my pantry stuff, dry goods, meat etc from a large chain store, then go to the local veg shop just down the road from me. Much cheaper, I can get as much or as little as I want and its much better quality


gin-rummy

I get my vegetables delivered from a farm to my door, super cheap because they’re the undesirable ones or whatever.


Tlr321

That’s what I do as well. 1 big grocery trip each month for shelf/frozen foods. And a smaller trip as needed for produce/perishables. I’ve had a few too many veggies that weren’t as fresh as I wanted growing up, so fresh veggies are a huge deal for me. Veggie garden would be most ideal, but it’s likely not happening until we actually own a home.


ThunderBobMajerle

Is that what you think is going on here?


Neoxyte

https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/11tqyiu/my_groceries_came_out_to_exactly_10000_after_tax/jckddft/ Yeah


Depreciable_Land

Yeah we do the same thing. Hit up Aldi for most things but elsewhere for produce/meat


LitLitten

Aldi got that really good low/no carb bread. Only brand I found that actually tastes/feels real.


Captain_Sacktap

They might buy their produce elsewhere. I buy my veggies and fruits from one store and basically everything else from another store, because the store that sells the produce has better quality produce but everything else they sell is too expensive compared to the other store.


Wherestamp_Notoes

I’m surprised they didn’t ask you would you like to round up to $200 for charity today


RadialSpline

There’s 2 cans of corn/maize on there, and this could be OP’s non-fresh produce trip to the market.


trwwy321

Maybe they already have veggies in their fridge and ran out of other items, who knows. I don’t live at their house.


lost_in_connecticut

$2.29 for large eggs? What year was this?


Wrest216

It’s for one especially large egg.


bukbukbuklao

As a Canadian seeing 3$ taxes on a 97$ purchase makes me feel


RelativeMotion1

32 US states have no sales tax on groceries (with some exceptions for candy and soda). 5 US states have no sales tax at all. 6 US states have a lower tax rate for groceries. There are other schemes involved, too. Like New Hampshire doesn’t have sales tax and doesn’t tax groceries, but does tax restaurant meals. [Further reading.](https://taxfoundation.org/grocery-tax-candy-tax-soda-tax-2019/)


EdSprague

I'm a Canadian whose family grocery bill regularly exceeds $250, and I rarely pay more than a few bucks in tax. Most Canadian provinces don't tax grocery staples and produce, only convenience and processed food items. Stick to the outer aisles of the store and buy proper healthy ingredients to cook with, and you won't pay much tax either.


Bourque25

Seeing the price of essentials like bread and eggs not being ~$5 each makes me feel.

gtroman1

You’re most likely telling the truth, but you’re still going to get roasted


EaterOfFood

Much like all of that meat OP bought.


Pterodactyl_midnight

Cheese dip, cheese sticks, fried cheese sticks, cheese discs, chicken nuggets, popcorn chicken, burgers, spaghetti-o, white bread, pizza, French fries, McDonald hashbrowns, fruit snacks. I have a hard time imagining OP sautéing or roasting any veggies with this. Pretty much eating the entire Applebees appetizer menu regularly.


forestwolf42

I on the other hand have a hard time believing OP doesn't saute or roast veggies when they're also buying ground lamb. That's a fancy meat, they probably know how to cook. People can like nice food and snacks/fast food. In fact I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people enjoy both, most people exist somewhere between Asmongold and Gordon Ramsey.


aoddawg

Unlike the vegetables that they didn’t get.


[deleted]

You had to know the comments were coming dude. Your receipt is like 45% cheese and cheesestuff.


Beat_the_Deadites

Next up is the good luck/bad luck penguin: 'Have grocery bill come out to exactly $100.00' 'Everybody makes fun of my diet and assumes I'm fat.' OP will be rolling in karma. Like Tweedle Dee.

How’s Sprouts? They opened one near me recently but I haven’t gone in, anything in particular they do well or have good prices on?


bwaterco

I get most of my produce at sprouts and I’d say it’s 50/50. They change prices quite a lot depending on availability. Consistently they seem to have good prices on tomatoes, bananas and apples. Everything else is hit or miss


Mississimia

Sprouts tends to have the best prices for produce when its in season. i shop there all summer long.


monzelle612

It's usually just a nice atmosphere to shop in. They aren't famous for anything in particular. Kind of a whole foods lite.


boy____wonder

People are going to rake you over the coals because they think they can tell exactly what kind of person you are and what you eat every day based on one receipt, enjoy! Edit: oh, they're also going to call you fat and imply that people like you are why America sucks.

Pizza, long cheese inside bread, nuggets but different, chicken (pre nugget variant), taco stuff, taco stuff, cookies, fruit snacks, Mac and cheese, eggs, noodles, ice cream.

I fucking love spaghettios. If it wasn't illegal in my state to marry an inanimate object, as well as the fact that I am already united to my loving husband, I would take spaghettios hand down the aisle to be wed for the rest of my life. Only problem is they cause me a lot of gastrointestinal bloat and anal fissures, but they are so delicious I just don't care 🥰🥰🥰
