How Seniors Spend $100 on Groceries 

Cut Thanks, stay safe

Cut we love you too

When this whole thing is over (Thing Referring to Corona) you guys should do something To do with Scotland idk what but it would be pretty cool like Having you own Scottish Ceilidh(Which is like a Party with Load of Dancing, Scottish Dancing and you should totally do strip the willow it's soo much fun)

@bla Because they have different ones called N95 which don't let the Tiny Little particles of CORONA, and surgical mask which a lot of other people have let in the Tiny Particles that let in the Corona Virus droplets

thanks for keeping us entertained cut! please keep posting :)

Earthy Gissel my heart 😪😪

bla who are you yelling at & why

@bla so they dont spread it if they have it

bla Stop yelling to yourself, I’ll answer your question for fun. Healthcare workers are in significantly closer proximity to sicker people than anyone going to the damn grocery store. Viral load in the air in the grocery store is very, very minimal compared to next to a COVID patient. Healthcare workers need them more than normal people by definition. The guidelines to not wear masks was primarily to make sure healthcare workers would be able to get masks if possible. If the government said to wear masks, no one in healthcare would be able to wear or find a mask and THAT would cause the collapse of our healthcare system 100x faster than if no one in the general population could find a mask.

It breaks my heart because it means right now she has no company with everything closed.

so wholesome...

😂😂🥺

I know so adorable!!

That's what I was thinking when I first saw and they even laid down a few of them❤

I just realized that. That's so sweet. 😭

J B what do you want them to do? Make an 88 year old man lie down on the grond without a mattress?

Nope ...there is actually a photographer who started taking pictures of kids from different countries laying down right next to the food they eat, just to show the contrast. Not sure if this I'd the type of concept the Cut wanted to follow.

J B that’s just common sense

sounds good to me.

gisforgary but her loneliness is overwhelming... bless her really

I’m a server & I always wonder the background on everyone I take care of. Especially if they’re regulars or the type that wanna talk to me. So yeah I always try to give them attention & treat them how I would want if it were me. Sometimes in this world it’s good to just pause & really be present in the moment .

Please share her name, let’s fine her friends

My grandma eats alone 7 days a week

Kate Bunkoff HAHAHAH

YES

Lmaooo

I can't hear that 🤷‍♀️

Lol

Jacob Sumpter my spiritual grandpa! *minus the soda

it sounds like his wife is the hustler but I'm sure she feels fine with him claiming her work (:

sapphiresky tbh that must be hard to do all the house worl with 71

@Stay Up Hm- you wish I was a man hater, but he said himself all he does is watch tv, his wife does everything else 🤔

Corona had different plans for that energy....

I would love to get involved she seemed lovely

Yeah I think that would be a great idea!

I would send her an email with a picture of my meal all the way from Cairo Egypt or call her video and eat dinner together 😭

Avacado i love this idea!

I agree!

That one was hilarious

Lmaooo

😭😭😭 That was so funny to me.

Jimmy Jimmy EATING SUGARRRRRRRRRRRRRH

SIX CALLERS AHEAD OF US... JIMMY!

Let Jimmy be 😂💀

Jimmy is living his best life!!!!

LEAVE JIMMY ALLOOONNNNEEE ;DDD

And the 88 year old's wife seem to do a good job feeding him healthy stuff. But it's unfair how he hustles thru everything

Yes he's doing very well! I worked at a retirement home and noticed they ate a lot of sweets!! We offered dessert at lunch and dinner and everytime everyone would take one, and would avoid the fruit.

It help when family is still around .

Does anyone know what the little bottles with the red label he bought are?

@@amantelavita Those are called Session Lager's

😆😆😆😆😆

It matched mine. I was like "what!"

Like haha, what would that mean? Norwegian salmon, crawfish, vietnamese halibut?

Manisha BAHAHAHAHA

I literally laughed out loud, thank you for that I really needed it :-)

i thought he said 38

Notice the oldest one eats the most produce.

HAHAHAHAHHAHA 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I felt this on a whole other level

Chan Preet i was gonna say the sameee

Same. I want to keep her company!! 💜💜

She's so sweet and deserves more.

I felt the same.. Her granddaughter wrote a paragraph in one of the previous comments. From what I read, she is just fine. 🖤

Chan Preet same 😢

I'm sure it's been a lifelong eating habit. You don't make it to 98 by switching to a healthy lifestyle the last few years.

That'd be quite interesting!

Drugs and alcohol .

Omg YES

Oooo that'd be so cool

But a pro chef would have the money

RIGHT I FEEL SO SAD FOR HER :(

I hope she's ok.

He's the cutest thing ever!

I love him too😭😭😭 i wanna give him a huggg

Why treat people older than you like children?

jay who is doing that? No one over here.

ɮᴇᴄφᴍɪnɢ shut up

Nah jus be cool as fuck & no one will forget you. There's some crazy cool/funny/wholesome old people out there

@ɮᴇᴄφᴍɪnɢ you can listen to wisdom while still critiquing antiquated ideals 👍🏼

I'm 23 and I'm already there

I heard the most random thing announcement/commercial as I was shopping in a little Mexican grocery store. It was in Spanish and it more or less said this: Son, if one day when I'm old and I no longer remember you, come to me and remind me of who you are. If one day I can no longer feed myself, remember that I fed you. If I become a burden and like a child, remember you were once in the stage I am now. Son, if I still don't remember you, remember that *you* are my greatest love, joy and accomplishment. I cried big fat tears. I've always say that I hope I never ever forget my kids.

Me too 🙏🏼

He did well just laying down. Props to him.

@@Lilyium they're talking about his time being a marine engineer but ok

@@pursuitsoflife.6119 Broo that was irony. Of course we thank him for his service in the military and not for laying down 😂

Same and the fact that he raised chickens after is just amazing. He reminds me of my poppop and his siblings

You right

You’re god damn right. Now say my name

@@statarofortress tuna.....TUNA FISH

Damn

I want to give her a hug

That killed me. Too cute.

j a z z m y n e :: Her face said it all. 🤣

@bla alrighty then

@bla why is this relevant to the original comment?

j a z z m y n e how you have 1k subs with just one video bruv lol 😂 I’m jealous

I was thinking of that too..so sad

hes so sweet! i want to give him a hug. he reminds me of my dede

dilan dehdeh

Given how much the merchant navy suffered during the war, It doesnt surprise me that after it he just wanted to find his own place of peace and quiet to live out the rest of his life. Although, chickens arent that quiet.

@@prosperous_berri_x we say dede

Reminds me of thanos

Starr Gar word 💯

best quote 2020

Facts I’m like what do you besides watch tv like he said lolol I want to know him

Samuel L Jacksons father

I died 🤣

Like she didn't know 😂 that was so funny

He's very lucky. I had a grandmother who lived with us for 15 years. She was around his age by the time we helped her into a nursing home. She was only there for about a week before she passed. As much as we wanted to keep her home we couldn't handle the medical or the physical therapy needs she had. She needed 24 hour care but she also got music therapy, massages, and spiritual support. She had better care there than we could have given her at the time.

hahah me too!!

She died or what? i say that cuz the emoji

AnnaJacqueline judging by your profile picture, it runs in the family.

She died or what ? I say that cuz the emoji

Do you miss her cuz you can see her so often?

Ashley Franta congrats on 100 subs 😉

I mean we don’t know the full story though. I try to keep in contact with my loved ones but sometimes I am just really busy with school and life. Some people just are pre-occupied with life.

Pablo Rivera I 100% get it; I bet they invite their grandkids out constantly in hopes that they can whenever possible. I know there are some grandparents out there who don’t have anyone who checks on them or cares, people get busy and forget others sometimes. I’m just saying in my opinion, my grandpa LOVES going out on the town alone. He’s wild.

I would love to have my grandparents here in the states, 🥺

Hi all, I am the granddaughter of Gertrude (orange sweater). She appreciates all of the kind words from all over the world. Although sometimes she eats alone, she does not want people to think she is alone all the time. Her kids and grandkids live close by. She is in multiple bridge clubs, book clubs and she was a longtime student athlete advisor (an illustrious one) for the University of Washington Football team, through which she has maintained many close friendships. CUT did not post all of her words and they skewed them in a way that she feels does not paint an entire picture of who she is. She wanted to let you know she is okay. Don't believe or take word for word, everything that you see in a six minute video that has been edited. Also, I am currently staying over at my grandma's house during this time, so she is not lonely and she is safe. We talk and eat together and have been watching movies everyday.

Jeanette Padilioni - Another user said that her daughter commented under a thread and said that she is staying with her mom during the pandemic, and that they edited the video. That’s what I heard tho

@@waffleboiboi9138 we don't know what gone on in her family

tarick Persaud exactly, that’s why I said “that’s what I heard tho” meaning I can’t confirm it

Same here all alone at 68..after being married 43yrs

@@pattyperkins5007 Hi Patty, i just read your comment, how are you doing? Are you okay?

Her daughter commented under a thread here saying they edited the video and that she sees her kids quite a bit, also is in lots of clubs and activities. She is also staying with her mother taking care of her and spending time during this pandemic, watching lots of movies lol

@@cadavher That's good to hear. I was getting really sad for her.

Lucky Lex yay thats so good

Lucky Lex granddaughter *

@@cadavher Granddaughter*

His food choices look tasty.

He's had time to learn.. lol

He eats healthier than me, makes me wana revise me choices

Which of them was it

I know! I didn't even notice the first time just how much food he got for the money!

You're at your grandma's house to visit and then spend your time watching RU-vid? Okay

@@Kath-Erina ??? her grandma could be sleeping or sth,,,, she'll not be with her grandma for 24h a day lol

@Adam Imagine your body being unable to do much, living by yourself all day for years. You'd probably feel like shit. Unless you're the type who doesn't ever need company. @Natalie The best you (and all of us) can do is doing that for your own family, grandparents/parents. That is if they are still around.

@ɮᴇᴄφᴍɪnɢ me too kinda ahaha..

Adam WTF ??! You’ve no idea and u talking shit. How can you be so mean ?

You don't know her, it's wrong to judge people for just an interview

@Adam you must be her miserable absent son. 😆

So what do you do all day? "I watch TV." Young wife, watching TV, that is one happy happy man. Obviously, this arrangement is not for everyone though.

I love them so much oml 😂 I love the clear sarcastic love they have, it's similar to mine and my partners, I hope if we grow old together that we will take the piss out of each other like that lol

Well now you know why older men like younger women. Especially when the age gap is more then ten years.

10-15 yrs sir

He did say he was a hustler😂

I believe things were a little different when they were young. There wasn’t as much awareness about age gaps in relationships and people used to get married very young. My great grandma got married at 16 when my great grandfather was 23 or something. Yes I know that’s VERY strange to us but to them it was normal. She said that she doesn’t regret a thing though, they’re still together and happy as ever lol.

@@kathymurguia6881 so they can take care of them when theyre old? No thanks fam.

Let's be honest, there is a lot wrong with junk food. I'm not Italian, but have been living in Italy for 6 years. Italians ( especially the older generation) have amazing diets, almost exclusively whole foods. Surely this is part of why Italy is ranked number 4, for longest life expectancy in the world...the US comes in at 38.

I am an American and we eat terribly here. Our McDonald’s drinks are the size of buckets. It’s typical to eat a burger and fries when you go out and we learn to eat it quickly, because there is little time to enjoy a meal when you have a 30 minute lunch break. The Italian, Mediterranean diet is really more ideal for the body, not soda, chips and tootsie rolls. :(

@@bangbutton8322 Maybe you can help me out here as an American. Are groceries in the US really this expensive or are they not showing everything the people bought? In Germany (where I'm from) $100/€95 could get you much more in terms of groceries, heck, they would probably last 1.5 - 2 weeks for your average family!

@@bltzthundi3244 that too! every time I watch these videos it seems like they get so little stuff in comparison to the price of it all

@@AngelicNastiness Yeah, I agree, I just didn't want to seem like I was coming for anybody but Jimmy's 30 cans of soda had me a little deceased

But the younger people need that mattress too lmao at first I thought it was a response to everyone pointing out how uncomfortable they look on the floor,

Tru tings

I would love to do that 😔

I tried this before the outbreak and ended up getting hit on by a lonely guy in his 70s when I wasn't even 30... idk if I'll reach out again to strangers, they're spoopy...

That killed me 🤣

tia its the way he says it that makes it hilarious 😂

I need this on a T shirt 😂

@bla because depending on the patient, they'd wear them even if they dont have covid-19 and also there are specific masks that actually help lower the risk but there is a shortage of them so they use regular ones even though it doesn't work.they are expensive too.

bla why are you shouting on a random comment? Stfu

bla Because they work in an environment in which they can be coughed or sneezed on by hundreds of likely very ill patients per day, COVID can be spread easily though mucus droplets so it’s a precautionary measure to limit their exposure and prevent becoming infected and potentially spreading it to immunodeficient or high risk patients in their care. If the disease were to be spread by a doctor moving throughout a hospital it would be an absolute disaster and people could potentially die so medical workers make sure to take every precaution. Ordinary people going about their daily lives outside of hospital are at a much lower risk of exposure compared to a person working directly with infected patients so wearing a mask isn’t as necessary.

bla also perhaps don’t spam other people’s comments like this, it’s quite rude and annoying.

@bla masks only work well if used correctly, eg if they're disposable masks, doctors/nurses are supposed to use a different mask for each patient or each room, and you have to take the masks off properly otherwise it renders them ineffective

Protect all of them 😭
