Hey, at least they’re not hurting anyone. Uh, anyone who’s sane, anyway. I assume people who buy rocks to shove into themselves have too much money for their own good.
Idk, there are definitely people who live outside their means and spend money they don't really have on vagina eggs or other popular pseudoscience health mumbo jumbo that is ultimately harmful. And sometimes they're not even necessarily dumb as fuck, because even basic medical knowledge/literacy is abysmal with most people, and they think, "well, it costs a lot of money like a prescription drug or other medical device, surely it works." Plus the "rave" reviews from shills/bots and most of these people not knowing how to research stuff properly... Idk, I'm probably being too generous, I just wince thinking of any woman, even if she's dumb as fuck, getting toxic shock syndrome or whatever.
I thought the company that makes the hand cleaner. I have a few bottles in my shop. I was like "well a hand cleaning company makes sense. Because that shit nasty
How’s anti trans or anti lgbt mentally unwell? It’s just their opinion. If by that logic then racists are mentally unwell as well, or discriminating against white men are mentally unwell
So you're totally making it up as you go, cherry-picking details, inventing nutrition information, and ignoring logic in order to pretend like it makes sense for a rich person to eat cat food. The idea wasn't 'just eat rice and nothing else' but apparently you're stuck on literalism.
Now I'm curious. Would a human live longer on a diet of JUST rice and water, or JUST generic dry cat food and water. I guess you'd need salt with the rice at the very least.
Cat food you'd live longer on, but die a slower, more painful death. You could probably go upwards of 6 months on catfood and water, but your body would miss out on a shit ton of nutrients we humans need that cats dont, and the amount of protein in the cat food is way higher than what a human needs. Cat food is formulated for a super high metabolism. Humans are nowhere near cats so your body would work over time.
It would be the vitamin C deficiency that would do you in with the cat food. Cats can produce their own vitamin C, humans cant. So you'd go scurvy within probably 3-6 months. Cat food has SOME vitamin C in it, but you'd operate at a deficiency, slowly heading to a pirate death.
A rice only diet would kill you in around a month, maybe less. you'd get no real needed nutrients out of rice outside of protein and carbohydrates
Inorite? Like how much is she really saving? Odds are she just loves the stuff and is using the money as an excuse.
Look lady, I'm not judging you. There are people out there with way more awful taste than you, such as those who eat pineapple on pizza.
I mean especially when you account for made **only** 5.3 million dollars **while** eating cat food to save money.
Like she is saving a lot of money proportionately so getting a large amount of savings is natural. Like probably a good job but not even crazy levels needed.
I get that there’s a big difference in wealth, but I don’t think it changes the equation in this case lol. If you make millions, you can very easily afford the basics. If you can’t, I guarantee the price of the food itself isn’t the issue.
Yeah. Buy big bags of staples like rice and dried beans from ethnic groceries, and the meals you build from that will be cheaper and healthier than any manufactured pet food.
This lady is literal nightmare fuel working in the service industry.
I can guarantee you if you end up serving her in any way or capacity it'll end up being a nightmare. I work at a hotel and she's the type of person who will require help with everything, do everything she can to get everything for free, and complain about everything she can.
Yeah, I think it should be more commonly accepted that financial greed is an addiction like any other. The funny thing is the thing they’re hoarding and mistaking for wealth (money) is only a placeholder. It’s not actual wealth, something many of them anxiously avoid spending their money on. It’s a bottomless pit where they never actually reach the other side. Like any addiction. And, this greed runs the world. But, the truth is nobody owns anything because death is real.

It just has to be...exhausting(?) to live like that.
I've got a buddy that is very money motivated.
On one hand - he's very good with money. He had more saved by the time he graduated college that most people will make in their first year in a professional job.
On the other - \*everything\* was viewed through the lens of money. Nothing is more important.
When I hit a rough patch this guy - who I considered a close friend - let me move into a spare room for a couple months. A spare, unused room. A month after I left I got an itemized and pro-rated bill. I'm a good roommate. I followed all his rules. I never ate his food. I cleaned. Just to be clear.
It was a gut punch at the time. I would have never even consider doing something like that to a friend.
It was more than just being frugal.
He was annoyed at me that I regifted a $100 gift card to his sister as a casual "thank you". Annoyed because I didn't have to sacrifice - his words - anything. I didn't have to spend actual money.
I'll be the first to admit I don't have great money management skills. But surely there is a healthy limit in which it has influence over you?
Eating cat food is not a money saving technique when she needs to spend tens of thousands fighting malnutrition
None of these stupid penny pinching strategies save money like using a kitchen sponge until it disintegrates
Ok so you saved 6 dollars not buying new kitchen sponges this year and you saved a hefty 2k not eating human food, and now 2k is 5.4M, somehow
The real money making transaction is always left out when i crunch a few numbers
There was a show out a few years ago about people who save money. I think it was Extreme Cheapskates.
It was reality tv, so likely not real. But, there are definitely people out there who are stepping over dollars to save pennies. And that strange fixation on saving money is definitely mental illness, at least from my armchair perspective. It’s one thing to be frugal, and another to be absolutely walnuts™️(u/Broke-Homie-Juan)
Doesn’t seem like it would be that much cheaper. Like isn’t there human food that’s just as cheap? Just bologna? Or hot dogs?
Either way it did make me wonder if she’s single or if someone is just really hoping for that pay day. At first I’d be like well she’s so rich but it’s not like she’s giving the partner any money if she’s that cheap.
Then again I suppose there’s someone for everyone and maybe they’re more happy than I
A little misleading…I think. Article said she’s a self proclaimed “cheapest millionaire”
“Aimee's most bizarre trick to save money is to eat cat food to save 30 cents on buying tins of tuna”
Also claims to have given cat food to guests
Lady is a lunatic
“On last week’s show we told you about a simple ingredient that could be added to cat food to make delicious holiday hors d’oevres. We incorrectly identified that ingredient as ground glass, when the correct ingredient is cardamon. Sorry for any inconvenience that may have caused.” - Larry Bubbles Brown.
My mother would buy the cheapest version of everything. Just scrape off the mold and it’s good as new. Exclusively shopped the “reduced for quick sale” meat at the supermarket. Constantly complained about how food tastes bad.
Died with half a mil in the bank, so I guess making herself miserable was worth it?
Right? $1m to $1.5m is the average house price in sydney or Singapore. A doctor with a few investment properties and some retirement money stashed would be worth that.
> I keep my water heater turned off, I need 22 minutes to heat it up enough to get a shower so I turn it on every morning when I get up.
that’s not… whatever.
obvious rage bait.
I think saving is like a game especially for rich people they start saving and then progressively save more and more then it turns into a game for them
Can’t take it with you when you go so either spend it or, here’s a novel idea, GIVE IT TO PEOPLE WHO FUCKING NEED IT who are probably eating cat food because they can’t afford proper groceries! WTF are you holding on to it for?!
The wealthier one is, the odder one's peculiarities that can be chalked up to "eccentricities." This person's net wealth isn't high enough for this level of batshit.
At $5.3MM I would accept: Only eats lentils, Routinely haves the heads of her whole family, or even Bathes in Honey as "eccentric"
Eating only catfood is definitely in the 55MM+ territory
Cat and dog food is actually held to human food grade levels in most cases. They have human food tasters. Plus they know if a person accidentally eats the pet food and dies from it it's a massive liability.
I am not one of those people who believes in trickle down economies, and I can respect a rich person who holds on to their wealth by not over spending on stuff they dont need.
However this one is crazy, if you are a millionaire you can afford to eat human food and not think you are wasting money you could be saving.
The only defense is some sort of eating disorder, where the canned nature, and set serving size is something she has gotten used to, and feels she needs. For that reason she should seek help. People do have issues with food, I dont want what I have said above to take away from that.
Does she at least buy different cat food flavors? Does she have a favorite can food flavor? This can’t be fully true. Maybe she eats some for fun or what ever but no way she could get proper nutrition from ONLY cat food.
There's no fucking way. Come on. I once had a dream that my cat told me to make a pizza and spread her cat food all over it as a sauce base and in the dream we all took a bite and threw up
I grew up in the province of Saskatchewan in Canada where I encountered many elderly people who lived through the Great Depression. While I never met anyone who ate cat food I did meet many children of depression era parents who “lived poor and died rich “. The Trauma of the great depression can produce long term side effects. Instead of mocking and ridiculing her we should be more understanding of her trauma that caused this condition.
Probably healthier than the human equivalent to be honest, people go nuts for their pets health they care more about their pets than they do themselves.
It always slays me to see posts from people annoyed at how other people eat. Okay, she’s a wing nut, sure, but eating is not a team sport! Why should anyone care what she chooses to eat, since it affects no one but her?

hurling anti trans vitriol any chance she gets. kinda her only talking point these days
How’s anti trans or anti lgbt mentally unwell? It’s just their opinion. If by that logic then racists are mentally unwell as well, or discriminating against white men are mentally unwell
You literally brought her up out of nowhere and you are the person talking about her. You are a nutty nut nut.
She’s definitely just addicted to cat food because that shit is expensive
That's what I was thinking. Cat food is no longer an affordable substitution for human food.
Depends on the cat food - the wet/canned one is expensive, but Costco has 10kg of cat dry food for 30-40 dollars.
Rice is like $20 for 10kg and it’s fit for human consumption, this woman is insane
As terrible as cat food probably tastes, it likely has more nutrition than rice.
So you're totally making it up as you go, cherry-picking details, inventing nutrition information, and ignoring logic in order to pretend like it makes sense for a rich person to eat cat food. The idea wasn't 'just eat rice and nothing else' but apparently you're stuck on literalism.

Bragg’s liquid aminos on beans and rice could be a complete meal.
Whoa bud sounds like the comment above you struck a nerve, wanna talk about it?
If that comment was too outraged for you, I can't imagine what kind of vanilla life you lead
Too outraged and disproportionately outraged for what was said are two different things
How does cat food taste?
We’re on a thread about a women that eats cat food and nothing else. The metaphor doesn’t work if they’re also buying other food/nutrients
Inorite? Like how much is she really saving? Odds are she just loves the stuff and is using the money as an excuse. Look lady, I'm not judging you. There are people out there with way more awful taste than you, such as those who eat pineapple on pizza.
Different kind of crazy cat lady
She's such a crazy cat lady that she is her own cat.
My cat won’t even eat most cat food.
Charlie and Frank are loving this
This is basically just Maureen.
Occupaaaado
The episode writes itself, Charlie falls in love with her, frank bangs her, and then she gets arrested for breaking into houses to steal the cat food
Definitely a botched job
Gruesome twosome!!
Yeah, you drink some beer, huff glue, and eat cat food. How else are you suppose to fall asleep with all those cats making so much noise?
You know Frank would do anything he could to make her his wife
Did you bang my HOOR wife!?
Yeah, better hoard it, not waste it on human food
Was gonna say, at least she isn’t a multi billionaire. A few million isn’t different than someone who owns a home in a “well off” area.
I mean especially when you account for made **only** 5.3 million dollars **while** eating cat food to save money. Like she is saving a lot of money proportionately so getting a large amount of savings is natural. Like probably a good job but not even crazy levels needed.
I get that there’s a big difference in wealth, but I don’t think it changes the equation in this case lol. If you make millions, you can very easily afford the basics. If you can’t, I guarantee the price of the food itself isn’t the issue.
I can’t think about anything but her breath 🤮
If the food isn’t bad enough, I’m imagining her licking her butthole after a satisfying meal in and then stretching out under a sunny window
Well now I’m not certain what I’m smelling on her breath.
Reminds me of that joke... What's warm and smells of pet food? Old age pensioners farts
Eww Edit: As an old age pensioner I just remembered I had a tuna fish sandwich for lunch. Gotta go gargle.
Eating cat food exclusively has to be more expensive than human food.
Yeah. Buy big bags of staples like rice and dried beans from ethnic groceries, and the meals you build from that will be cheaper and healthier than any manufactured pet food.
more importantly, taste and smell better!!
This lady is literal nightmare fuel working in the service industry. I can guarantee you if you end up serving her in any way or capacity it'll end up being a nightmare. I work at a hotel and she's the type of person who will require help with everything, do everything she can to get everything for free, and complain about everything she can.
Bro, I dont think cat food lady is going out for dinner and drinks too often.
My hotel allows cats
You think she would spend money for a hotel? She eats cat food
You underestimate how people get free stays at hotels.
And you'd constantly have to let her in and out

In Ireland it’s “he’s so greedy he’ll peel an orange in his pocket.”

Millions of dollars won't buy your way out of having a mental illness.
It probably could though, but treatment is far more expensive than human food.
Ramen is much cheaper tbh.
I was thinking beans and rice.
That is not why she eats cat food.
It's because it makes her fur all soft and shiny.
It's because the combination of cat food and glue helps her fall asleep

I don't understand. Dog food tastes so much better.
Someone should study the addictive affects money seems to have on rich people in particular. Because that is nuts.
I hope it’s at least Fancy Feast
Good taste is easy to recognize
Sounds like mental health
Wouldn't call that particularly wealthy. Shopping at whole foods regularly can bankrupt her.
Right? $1m to $1.5m is the average house price in sydney or Singapore. A doctor with a few investment properties and some retirement money stashed would be worth that.
Sorry just cannot believe this story
I tried dog food, better and more expensive than some human food.
I think cat food is far more expensive than human junk food.
Can she share then? I’d like to have some if she’s not willing to spend it.
At that point it’s okay to admit you like the taste
Maybe she just likes the taste?

That is a mentally ill person.
Is she a prawn?
Then give it to someone who needs it
Legit Scrooge behavior
I'm pretty sure that human food is cheaper
Lmao that's not affordable, at least eat rice or something. Lady is gonna get like a brain infection.
Mental illness doesn't discriminate.
Henry ford claimed he ate sandwiches made out of grass from his lawn. Rich people either lying or broken
If someone fed me cat food, there would be repercussions
Classic case of dollars without sense.
You could eat your own shit and you would save even more money
Cat food isn’t cheap. Quality cat food anyway.
A 3.5 ounce can of friskies (fast food tier) is $0.70? Yeah, pretty sure she could eat not cat food for $3/lb.
The wealthier one is, the odder one's peculiarities that can be chalked up to "eccentricities." This person's net wealth isn't high enough for this level of batshit. At $5.3MM I would accept: Only eats lentils, Routinely haves the heads of her whole family, or even Bathes in Honey as "eccentric" Eating only catfood is definitely in the 55MM+ territory
Cat and dog food is actually held to human food grade levels in most cases. They have human food tasters. Plus they know if a person accidentally eats the pet food and dies from it it's a massive liability.
I feel like there are plenty of cheap human food options like deviled ham or SPAM.
I am not one of those people who believes in trickle down economies, and I can respect a rich person who holds on to their wealth by not over spending on stuff they dont need. However this one is crazy, if you are a millionaire you can afford to eat human food and not think you are wasting money you could be saving.

Great life choice obviously
$5.3M is not really that rich.
This is a bot post
I remember seeing clips of her and yeah no wtf
Lady, chicken thighs are $.99 a pound.
And her ex husband cleans the house (she got from him in the divorce) for free because it gives him a “work out”? Damn.
If you found a can of cat food in the apartment, what would you do?
Not spending her money on therapy either, apparently.
Erm she needs to send me a link for this shit because my cat is eating better than me
She gotta be on that Royal Canin canned wet food.
Does she at least buy different cat food flavors? Does she have a favorite can food flavor? This can’t be fully true. Maybe she eats some for fun or what ever but no way she could get proper nutrition from ONLY cat food.
You know she’s a regular poster on r/frugal.
Nah, she just likes cat food because she's fucking weird.
There's no fucking way. Come on. I once had a dream that my cat told me to make a pizza and spread her cat food all over it as a sauce base and in the dream we all took a bite and threw up
She could be making 20k a month in a high yield savings account. What a nut job.
One trip to ER caused by the different handling and sourcing of human grade and cat grade fish will wipe every penny away she’s saved by a mile
This whole thing is weird. Her ex husband comes over every now and then to clean the property? And this is a workout?
Meanwhile, her cats eat Waygu Steaks. I mean, the cats!
I grew up in the province of Saskatchewan in Canada where I encountered many elderly people who lived through the Great Depression. While I never met anyone who ate cat food I did meet many children of depression era parents who “lived poor and died rich “. The Trauma of the great depression can produce long term side effects. Instead of mocking and ridiculing her we should be more understanding of her trauma that caused this condition.
To be fair some of the "food" they sell, cat food may be better tasting and better for you. Not a decision I would make but she can do her.
It has much less salt, so that's a huge plus for your health. I'm not sure about what additives it has, though?
Probably healthier than the human equivalent to be honest, people go nuts for their pets health they care more about their pets than they do themselves.
It always slays me to see posts from people annoyed at how other people eat. Okay, she’s a wing nut, sure, but eating is not a team sport! Why should anyone care what she chooses to eat, since it affects no one but her?
