Today, the highlight of my day was that I could afford name-brand ketchup. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
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
Today, the highlight of my day was that the gas station I work at finally got a new mop head. FML
It was yummy
Today, I found maggots in the ketchup on my sausage. Too bad I had already eaten half of it. FML
Winner winner chicken dinner
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, I'm so broke that I got buyer's remorse after buying a $2 bottle of pancake syrup. FML
Broke
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.

Just don't eat too much or you might get cancer!

Eat what you like, anything can give you cancer.

What about actually eating cancer? Surely there is a double standard where eating cancer cancels out receiving cancer from it? On a separate note, try saying "cancer cancels cancer" five times fast

You never know these days. I read that it's actually good against cancer because of the lycopene which is an antioxidant made more bio-available by the cooking of tomatoes.

Just to clear things up, this is a reference to an FML posted a while back.

Yeah, sorry guys. That was a reference. I should've put that in parenthesis or something.

Today, the highlight of my day was that the person who attacked me didn't use a name-brand hockey stick to do it with and it broke across my back, ending the attack prematurely.

My aunt used to go to McDonalds and put a bit of her own hair in her food, and then she'd get a free burger.

Imagine if she had used all her hair. She would acquire so many burgers then she could open her own second hand mcburger shop and undercut McDonald's prices.
RumbleroarsCub 3
Mmmm...second hand burgers.

Or if you live where I live & they charge you 30¢ for KETCHUP.

Due to the fact there is no profile comment system, I just have to say that I LOVE Castle and your profile pic has just made my day. In other words it better have been Heinz. Other ketchup is nasty. (Yes I'm from Pittsburgh)

I love your profile pic!

My sister is a ketchup addict. She once told me that Mcdonalds makes it's own brand of ketchup. She even showed me how Heinz and Mcdonalds ketchup are two different shades of red.

Yes! I can finally afford Heinz! Score.

Jeez! Is this comment a sign of the times or what!? Wonder when the economy will improve?

Everything in my kitchen is Great Value! Yay Wal-Mart!
twisted_cherub 14
Not everything I have is Great Value. My bathroom is full of Equate products. Although, there is one name-brand I buy a lot--Maruchan. Seriously though, I don't compromise on TP, razors, or ranch dressing. Everything else I buy cheap. Why spend more if I don't have to?

I'm not quite up to great value yet, I buy all my groceries from Aldi
OFWGKTADGAF666 6
Walmart great value is expensive.. We shop at Aldis
twisted_cherub 14
Don't know what Aldis is. When I had better options I shopped at H.E.B., but here it's Wal*Mart or Super Save. Super Save is more expensive and owned by a shady, sexually-harassing dirt-bag. I could drive 23 miles for an Albertson's, but it would still cost way more plus the gas.

No name is also a brand

I voted "YDI", because OP you deserve to have name brand ketchup. Even though they all taste the same...but still! You deserved that brand name ketchup.
twisted_cherub 14
Wow. I got thumbed down for not having better grocery stores in my town. That's....something.

Did it taste any better?

Sometimes my comments get deleted and I have no clue why...

From the words of Dave Chappell " I'm rich bitch I can now buy ketchup"
the_true_batman 10
Think of all the great foods you can put that on. If I had a nickle for every time one of my comments was deleted, I'd be able to afford brand-name ketchup too.

One of my comments got deleted just because I said giggity...Giggity.

Ah, memories. I remember I loved ketchup with my fries at any fast food place. My little self trying to reach for the ketchup packs on the supply table as I called out "Mom-my!, Mom-my! Need condom-mints!" and I'd always get those awkward stares from the teenage staff and customers.
