Going to get worse. And not just the prices as availability of many items will become problematic as well.

Bad news for communist hippie Dems.

More eating at McDonald’s, less eating organic veggies from Whole Foods.

The original article says:

“The vast majority of Americans, 87 percent, acknowledged that they are paying more for groceries now than they were one year ago.”

The other 13 percent are running food stamp duplicate use scams.

I went to an Arby’s for a chicken sandwhich and practically gagged on it - needless saying it went in the trash and I won’t be eating there again.

Most Americans will have to change a lot more unless Trump is in the Presidency. He has the intellect to correct Low IQ Joes mistakes.

Every now and then I drive through the nearest McDonalds while doing other shopping.

My standard fare: two regular cheesburgers and a small fry

Pre—Bidet: $4.75

Post—Bidet: $7.70

That is an increase of 71% in less than two years.

We shop groceries at three different local stores, Pig, Kroger & a higher end locally owned one

I always look at each one’s weekly ad and look for specials on the various meats, produce, etc. that we usually eat and put them on my list. Those specials basically become our menu as to what we cook/eat at home. I’ve done it this way for years so the recent price hikes haven’t changed my behavior.

We are well off retired boomers so inflation, while regrettable, won’t break us. Still, FJB.

As a senior, living alone I have found it cheaper to buy frozen meals or fast food. Do not cook or bake huge meals any more.... too much waste.

Eggs, milk and meat get old really quickly it seems.

My family often takes me out for lunch and I bring home the leftovers.

You basically can’t get a hamburger for under $10 at any fast food place now. 70% or so over 2 years seems about right in general.

More restaurants will be closing or at least those not profitable in the chains. People aren't going to pay when they can cook at home, especially during summer when grill cooking kicks up.

Took son and his gal friend to dinner atTexas Road House Sunday - Prime Rib Dinners. Bill was $135 with the tip. Lots of take home too. So if you're going to go out, go to where the food is great every time. And make it an occasion rather than a habit.

Yep. Just watch out for ‘those’ who can’t pay, grow or hunt. There will be many, so now we’ll have to guard our supplies even more. I even fear my home being taken over.
