So I just went grocery shopping, I'm usually very frugal but this time I bought a very large juicy orange for 69 cents.
I'm eating it now, it's delicious, but did I pay too much?
It's about the size of a human heart.

Are you content with the purchase? If so, no you did not pay too much. Sounds like it was around $2-3 per pound which seems reasonable.

Are you from the Philippines or something? How poor can you be that an orange is considered a luxury food? Fuck off.

I'm not poor, it just in a non-necessary food item, I could live just fine never eating another orange, I purchased and bought it purely for the pleasure of it.

in the philippines it is canned and packaged food that is considered a luxury food. fruits and vegetables are just regular everyday food. that's why flips have a reputation for eating disgusting food. to celebrate holidays and stuff they go out and buy "fancy" foreign imported mushy string beans and canned potato salad and garbage like that. because it's expensive and expensive = good.

I noticed last week that my local supermarket sells parsnips.
I've never tried a parsnip before so I'm going to set aside a couple dollars next week so I can try one.

69 cents seems like a fair price for an orange but if you were to buy bulk amounts of orange the price per orange would significantly decrease.

Usually I wait until oranges are on sale so I'd get at least two for that price. Sure you may have gotten 69 cents worth of pleasure, but that's 69 cents that you could have put into your savings instead.

You should have bought canned Mandarin oranges in heavy syrup instead.
