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.
