We stopped at the grocery store Sunday afternoon for a “FEW” things. Not a full run.

The cart was about half full. $208.

Last time we did a full run it was almost $350.

Less than ten years ago, we could fill the cart and it was $125-150 max.

We have had inflation now for years.
I drive a 2012 Toyota Tacoma. I paid $30K brand new.
The same truck is $40K today. So, a $10K increase in 9 years.

As a single man I used to be able to eat well on $100 per month. Plus $50 for beer:)

That was 25 years ago.

Now it’s $600 combined.

$150 per week, headed to $250.

Just for good food and a few beers.

I’m sure glad I’m not commuting 50 miles per day anymore. Gas is crazy too.
