Bodega Bronxites Fill Us in on Budget Survival

Show us somebody who’s not concerned about saving some money in this economic climate, and we’ll show you a liar. The Daily Reel lends help by pointing us to its Bodega spotlight, an online film by Casimir Nozkowski of Crying While Eating.

“Bodega” is a tongue-in-cheek pseudo-documentary on surviving in the Bronx, the poorest urban county in our fair nation. Coloured with tips on adequate dietary requirements for survival on a budget, hosts drop occasional profundities like “The economy is fucked the fuck up” and less-than-known tidbits like the fact that Nutz pork rinds have zero carbs. Clever. We enjoyed it even if their tonal repetitions of “Bodega” drove us the fuck crazy.

Update: As of 1/10, Oh Word releases a full version that includes another 2.5 minutes of the Bronx duo’s street wisdom.
