Did you check the produce section around 8pm too? That's when my local store marks down the bell peppers and mushrooms, I grabbed a bag of each for like a dollar total last week. Another thing that works is buying a big tube of tomato paste instead of the tiny cans, it's usually cheaper per ounce and you can just scoop out what you need and freeze the rest. Even the store brand bread gets marked down sometimes, I got a loaf of wheat bread for 60 cents and made croutons out of the heels after it started getting stale. You can REALLY stretch a dollar if you're willing to hit the clearance rack twice a week.

God I feel this so hard. I once watched a whole season of some shonen show where the dub made the main guy sound like he was reading a grocery list. Switched to Japanese and suddenly he was screaming like his soul was on fire. Made me wonder if I've been missing out on half the emotional impact of every anime I've ever watched. But then again I'm the guy who cried at the end of a movie about a talking dog, so maybe I'm just a mess. The difference is wild though, especially with comedic scenes where timing is everything. I think some dubs just don't capture the raw energy of the original performances, which is a shame because voices can make or break a character for me.
