A man in California spent more than $400 dollars at Trader Joe’s to feed his six children for a week and a half, as Americans struggle to survive in President Joe Biden’s (D) economy.
The father shared a video online that showed a receipt from the store in Westlake Village in Los Angeles County, Fox Business reported Saturday.
“Here’s what it takes to feed six kids in about a week and a half,” the man said in the video. The camera then pans down to show the bottom of the receipt which says the total bill was $444.38:

No Aldi nearby?
If everything you eat comes from Trader Joe’s, yeah, expect to pay a lot for food and drink.
Welcome to California.
Walmart comes in at half the price of Sloppy Joe's.
Look at the receipt. Dad spent it ALL on processed, packaged, corporate-branded foods
I bet his kids are fat, too.
My thoughts as well. Is he a “hey Joe, we need Newsome” idiot? Or an “I’m still with Joe” idiot? Or is he stuck in CA as one of the few remaining conservatives?
The total means nothing.
It’s what he bought that matters.
Yeah it’s trader joes so of course its gonna be more money, its like going to get groceries at Whole Foods, ok maybe not THAT bad but also expensive..Westlake Village is a very nice part of Ventura County, not sure this guy’s political leanings but Ventura County in general used to be pretty Conservative
There are things like casseroles, soups and stews that can be made.
70% veggies
10% meat
20% pasta/rice
What ever happened to cooking?
It is my understanding that Asian markets typically have good prices on veggies.
Seriously. Here in northern CA, there’s nothing wrong with our available Walmarts, and a local discount chain, Winco, is often dramatically less than chains life Safeway. If you’re so stupid you do your basic grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s, you get what you deserve
Beans, rice, potatoes, cornbread, a big bag of sugar. milk, a bushel of green beans, etc etc. Pork chops are usually cheap. 50 pound bag of rolled oats is about 35 bucks. That’s about 400 servings. 50 pounds of flour is about 55 bucks at Costco. Spaghetti noodles and egg noodles are about a buck a pound.
He needs to wise up and stop living so high on the hog.
We lived in Westlake Village. It’s the hoity-toity area of Thousand Oaks. The Trader Joe there is very expensive. Ralph’s is on the corner of T.O. Blvd. and WLV Blvd. He could shop there and not have to whine so loud.

Until Biden took over, I had never been to Dollar Tree, when prices started escalating after he became a president, I thought I would try shopping at Dollar Tree and I found a few items for $1 that I could use. Then as Dollar Tree became a regular stop to me for a few items Bidenomics made the $1 items $1.25. As every place else the prices were skyrocketing Dollar Tree still provided some relief. Suddenly prices were no longer set at $1.25 as several items became $2. A recent visit to Dollar Tree made me think they now need to change their name to “Three to Five Dollar Tree” Biden’s policies have really screwed up our economy!
