Evening out
Today, I finally got a raise after years of hard work! Excited, I went on a shopping spree, but as I checked the latest prices, it turns out that my extra income barely covers the increase in my grocery bill. Thanks, inflation. FML

It was yummy
Today, I found maggots in the ketchup on my sausage. Too bad I had already eaten half of it. FML

Today, I realized I have finally turned into my mother when I got excited about using so many coupons that I only paid 70 cents for $14 worth of groceries. I need a life. FML

Today, I learned one of life's great lessons: it is possible to squeeze a Ketchup bottle so hard that the plastic breaks and everything lands on your face. FML

Today, after months of being on anti-depression medication and feeling very little emotionally, I finally felt some joy. Sadly it was from completely crushing my husband in an argument he started, where he claimed ketchup is a vegetable. FML

Today, I bought $250 worth of groceries and was feeling rather good about myself because it's the first time I've been able to do so in months. When I returned home I found my fridge/freezer broken. Most of the food I bought was dairy or frozen. FML

Today, school tuition has taken up so much of my paycheck that the only thing I had to eat for dinner was applesauce. FML

I'm tired
Today, I came home tired and hungry from work. I put my feet up and sat down with a big bowl of chips and salsa. I thought I must've been really hungry because my regular no-name salsa tasted way better than usual. I looked down to examine the jar. Looks like I like the taste of mold. FML

You should just walk into a random McDonalds and say you forgot to ask for ketchup for your meal. Free ketchup, free happiness, free Carl.

Hey, Great Value is still a brand.

Don't worry, most people go through a time in their live when they don't have much money:) Also, don't worry about buying brand name things. Most of the time, the generic brands make a deal with the brand names and buy their ketchup and put it in a different bottle. They tast the same and are way cheaper!!

One thing: most generic ketchup is gross and watered down. Second thing: My god people are so judgmental.

18- Umm...No they don't. As someone who's spent several years picking up semi loads of cargo at factories/plants, I can tell you that generic labels do not simply repackage name-brand food. You're thinking of prescription medications, which are generally made by the same drug companies as the name-brand. Think I'm lying? Try wiping with Cottonelle or Charmen, then use the store brand for a week; or compare Velveeta cheese (the block kind for melting) and the store brand; Hidden Valley ranch dressing, Doritos, Pepsi/Coke/Dr. Pepper vs. Great Value version of each. They're different.

Who the **** cares if someone is a Justin Bieber fan? Seriously people, get your own lives. Then you won't have to worry about anyone else's. In reference to the actual comment made, I agree that generic products are usually just as good and save you money, but no, they are not the same at all.

I hate it when the ketchup bottle starts to go empty and it makes all those obnoxious, loud fart noises.

Lucky bastard. My highlight was saving enough money to buy the no name brand, and I'm talking about the just passes the health code brand.

A bunch or condiment puns, I see your mayo and I raise you a relish

Sounds like you were in a pickle! At least you relish the fact that you have a bit of dough and were able to mustard enough money to buy it. So now you mayo enjoy it.

So just make some fries and relish as you save your bacon name brand salt and remember, sweeten up your life sugar! And get spicy!
