Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

As you can see it's shiny new and still has its packaging on it. It's was so smooth and quiet!

Because putting food on the table is nearly impossible these days and I don't have anything cheaper around. I make to much for stamps but not enough for rent, health insurance, vehicle maintenance, and other basic fundamental needs to survive. I'm close to being homeless with a two income house it's pretty fantastic.....

I'm not sure your region, but discount grocery stores are a thing, and offer up very good deals. E.g., 25 cent cereal boxes.
Target and Trader Joe's have staples like plain pasta sauce, beans, rice for very cheap - about a dollar per jar/can/pound. There's also food banks as a source of some basics.
