What are your "poor person" money life hacks?

In Portugal a whole raw chicken is around 3.5€, about 0.45% of a minimum wage.
Minimum wage per what? Month?
Apparently so. €760 per month is the minimum monthly wage in Portugal. Works out at less than €5 per hour if you assume 160 hours per month which seems very low. For reference, Ireland is €11.30. While cost of living is higher here you can still pick up a full uncooked chicken for around €5 depending on the shop.
Local supermarket here does 4 chicken legs for €2.55.
A whole chicken in the US costs between 12-16 dollars depending in weight. The price literally doubled over the last couple years
GOOD GOD!
How big is a chicken there though?
About 5-6 pounds. Bigger ones get close to 7 pounds. So like 2-3.5 kg
Before Covid they were 99 cents a pound, now it's about 2.50/lb
Thanks. Yeah that is a big assed chicken for Ireland tbh but it's still more expensive overall.
I feel like you guys have been badly burned by price gouging. I remember seeing a thing on Reddit about egg prices skyrocketing and they had barely budged here so I found it odd.
The price of most groceries have at least doubled. I can still get store brand eggs for about $1.50 a dozen but other brands are easily 3+ dollars now. Meanwhile supermarkets are posting record profits.
This is correct.
The kg of raw chicken here is currently at 2.34€ at the two biggest supermarket chains, a whole chicken is usually 1.5kg.
