My grocery expense has gone up about 40% over the past year (I track all my expenses monthly).

I'm thinking I now pay about $100/bag when I go to the grocery store on average. I am not kidding.

My dining expense has gone down because I no longer can afford to go out to eat that often due to all the money I spend on groceries.

I realized last week that the heavy cream I use in my espresso has DOUBLED in price since the virus. Same goes for my bread, and my butter is heading toward that as well.

Listening to random people talk about this is highly revealing, especially to the lengths some go to avoid discussing it altogether.

If the turd rolling politicians up in the District of Corruption bought their own groceries, they would be able to see this.

Not only inflation, but shortages.

My normal grocery bill now looks like I’m feeding my entire family for the Thanksgiving holiday - and weekend.

And there are only two of us, and we are not extravagant, just basic stuff.

I rarely shop at a grocery store unless there’s a great sale on meat or fresh produce. I have my Walmart Market deliver all my groceries and the prices are great. I can stay in my jammies and just bring everything inside. It’s a great service.
