Are we ALL just Accepting this?
This weekend, I dropped $380 on groceries for my family of four. No fancy charcuterie boards, no organic quinoa – just basics like milk, eggs, pasta, chicken, and veggies. The kicker? Pre-pandemic, the exact same haul cost around $200.
Let that sink in: Grocery inflation has nearly DOUBLED my “survival” budget in 4 years.
It’s not even “luxury” inflation – it’s oxygen tax. Corporations blame supply chains and climate change, but their profits are breaking records. Meanwhile, families are forced to choose between fresh produce and filling the gas tank.
How are you coping?
Switched to rice-and-beans mode?
Found hidden hacks (discount apps, bulk stores)?
Given up and started a guerrilla garden?
