Oh yeah totally understand, which is why I actually love sharing real versions of this content and sharing videos of people that actually do a good job, or dropping comments on if I successfully make something cheap and if it turned out good. Some people love to share “cheap meal plans” that are like 900 calories a day and annoy the crap out of me. Because clearly they didn’t try living off of it for any length of time, so I try to add a little voice of reason where I can.
But I understand why a lot of people are just DONE with seeing money saving advice, since so much of it is appeasement not empowerment, if that makes sense.
“Oh you want a raise? How about instead, learn to cook cheaper.”
But me and a lot of the good hearted cheap cooks are more of a “Oh you want a raise? Yeah you probably need one, if food costs are killing you here’s some tasty recipes we found that might help save some money in short term while you work on long term problems.”
