Meat has doubled. The cheapest beef chuck roast at Walmart is $6.47/lb. vs. pre covid at $3-something. Pre-covid boneless pork loin was $1-something/lb vs. $3.38/lb today. This time last year, 18 count eggs were $1.63 vs $2.05 today. Canned tomatoes were 50 cents on my last grocery trip but are now 72 cents.

Meat has way more than doubled by me. 85/15 ground beef is almost $9/lb here. Looked at Ribeye Steaks yesterday, $19/lb. Passed on both.

Canned Tomato's are over $1/can here. If you buy the Hunts brand expect at least $1.50. Eggs are $2.49/doz and a loaf of generic store brand bread is $1.89.

I've been on a weight loss diet since April. My grocery bill back then was about $65. I buy the same staples weekly and rotate fruits and vegetables that I eat. I eat a lot of 4-5 veggie salads with 4oz of chicken for protein in them for dinner. Breakfasts for me are oatmeal and fruit, lunch is a veggie lettuce wrap and my snacks are typically nuts and yogurt with fruit.

What used to be $65 was $135 yesterday.

The food inflation is real and it sucks. Anyone who says it's not happening is a damn' liar.

That is very expensive. I dunno what state you live in, perhaps up north or on the coast. But, prime hamburger runs $5.20 per pound, and even 'grass fed' is %0.45 per oz in south Texas. Prime ribeye around $19 per pound, choice $14.41, and select $12.84.

I also want to add, I use www.mygrocerydeals.com, to find local deals and such. Sometimes something I ‘need’ pops up. Good luck, we’ll need it.
