I buy red-tagged(discounted)food, things on sale and get senior discounts...and live alone.

Doesn't take much for me to push my bill past $100.

Same here- $100 doesn’t go far at all- even when shopping the reduced items- I don’;t even look in the meat bins anymore- but go down to the ‘reduced cost’ items where the meat is still ok but gettign closer to the point of throwing out- sometimes they have really good cuts of meat in there- for not much money- during Trump- we were able to buy NY strip steaks for around $7 lb on sale- now the regular prices are up around $15 lb and ‘sale prices’ are around $12 lb usually- have had to go mostly for pork and chicken for meat- but those prices are rising pretty fast too- Have had to cut out all eating out too- but might hit up mcdonalds if out for 2 cheeseburgers for not too much $$- Just can’t afford pricier eateries like KFC, Pizza places etc-

Used to be we could ‘impulse buy’ when out shopping and not hurt the bottom line too much- now that is not possible- those impulse items are just too expensive-
