Was at Kroger’s last night. Half-gallon of 2% milk (Kroger brand) was $1.99. Prefer to buy Borden’s but it was $3.99/half-gallon.

Plus I get a 10% senior discount on the Kroger brand and pay no sales tax on food in Texas. $1.79 net versus $3.99 on a $50/week grocery budget is a no-brainer. You buy what you can afford.

I really don't know which pricing I posted to which he objected. All those prices are consistent with what I have paid in 2007 and what I have paid in 2015.

Everything is up nearly 100%. He probably makes so much money that it hasn't hurt him enough to notice how much everything has gone up.

Anyone on a budget is well aware of it.
