Grocery bills are up more than 100% for me. Where I used to go in and spend $40-$60 for groceries for the week (single) now it’s costing me $100-$120 per week (still single).
It costs more money to eat healthy food than it does to eat crap like frozen dinners, restaurant food et al. All meat products are up, most container goods have gone up with decreased content. If you’re used to premium brand bread it’s now costing $5 per loaf. London broil, top sirloin, chicken breasts, pork cutlets .... you have to wait for the BOGO to match prices pre-Obama.
It’s not Trumps fault. When he came in the prices where well along on the rise. I cringe everytime there is a sob story regarding U.S food goods. Droughts and cows, chickens dying, oranges freezing, drought crops in California and the corn/wheat belt. It all seems like a pretext to raise prices.
When Obama took office gas shot up to $5.00 per gallon within 2-3 years only to fall back before 2012 election. Think about Food, shipping costs double, prices go up but don’t come back down with the lower prices for fuel.
That’s why I grow my own. I can eat the healthy home-grown stuff with the cheaper Walmart food. Saves me big bucks.
Aw, who am I kidding? I spend a ton on the garden! But I love it still.
We live in a resort town with zip code pricing. The game down here is to see how high Publix can raise prices before people absolutely stop buying or lower themselves to go to Winn Dixie, the land of the depraved.....
