that’s what my shopping basket has become - i used to buy a weeks worth of groceries for about $150 - now I spend easily $200 to $230 when I shop and I have to stretch that over 2 weeks so I buy crappier food. Why? Because my cost in gas and utilities have gone up. Someone recently told me that they truly thought we were better off than we were four years... BS.

I’d like to know how that person ‘PAYS’ for their food bill.
Don’t know if they’re available in your area, but you might want to try Aldi’s.
They’re a no-frills chain, and I probably save a solid 40% shopping there. All items are “house brand,” but most are quite good.
One example: 13 oz. tortilla chips, very high quality, $1.29. Doritos are usually $3.75 or higher.
