Re: Grocery prices have skyrocketed since the pandemic began, forcing struggling Americans to make tough choices
It is not just food. It is every day items like shampoo and cleaning supplies. I saw a jug of Tide for $24.00, and that was supposed to be a sale price.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79225385


Then, don't buy TIDE - which has ALWAYS been at the top of the cleaning heap where prices are concerned!

Swallow your pride a little bit and use cheaper house brands instead of filling your shelves with products whose pricing reflects the heavy advertising costs they need to convince consumers to buy them.

If you want to destroy a moral, free and peaceful country with a declining debt just praise immorality, close churches, outlaw everything, punish hard work with taxes and regulations, start costly and pointless wars, import illegal immigrants and refugees,
offshore jobs, and make everyone dependent on welfare.

If you really are broke, go to a plasma center. They draw blood. Then centrifuge it, and take out the plasma. Burn victims and hemophiliacs need it so you can feel good about it. Then they pay you. You can do that about 4 times a month. There's no work to it but if backed up, you might be there two hours.

Pure evil.

Americans are so
batshit insane now that they are under house arrest and beg for more laws.

How can Americans not feel responsible for the collapse of the USA?

How can Americans sleep at night or look in a mirror without feeling completely disgusted and ashamed?

Working hard makes no sense when your taxes pay for illegal immigrants, wars, debt, and tyranny.

The only thing to do today is to wait to be sent to the ovens.

They haven't skyrocketed in Canada but meat is more expensive overall and key sales are occurring less frequently.

I hate tide. The smell is so strong I can smell the person before I see them. And shampoo can be bought for a dollar. Dilute a little in a cup with some water and pour it over your head. It lasts forever then.

A lot of people here said "If you keep giving out free money, it's going to cause massive inflation, and then a loaf of bread will cost $20".

But all the Bernie Bros, Yangsters, etc. kept advocating for UBI and more free money.

Now they're starting to see the way things really work.

There's not much sense in getting free $$ every month if you have a $600 per week grocery bill.

Fat chance on that tall order, AC. You should be buying up as much of that stuff as you can if you have the physical space and money to do so. This way after our Military and militarized cops get done with their first wave of mass murdering Americans via mass forced quarantines and mass forced vaccinations you will be able to start up your own black market business! Yeah! Though this is entirely predicated on you actually surviving first.

Aldi is a great place with much cheaper prices (I refuse to shop at Walmart for years). I can get the same quality foods, organic and all, for $100 and Aldi. The same items at the Wegamans down the road would coast me closer to $150. Now Wegmans is much nicer and his more variety of goods (one stop shop kind of place) but I'm saving $50 per trip (easily) when shopping at Aldi. That $ adds up.

Should not have been pure cash, it should have been done in the form of food coupons, product discounts, and essential worker bonuses.

UBI was a great idea but they killed it by making it not work. It doesn't make sense when continuing workers don't even benefit and they have the privilege of paying those who no longer work... PERMANENTLY. People will claim covid-19 fear, fake covid sickness as long as milking this thing is possible.

It was almost funny yesterday. I go out shopping, my wife makes the list from sales flyers on the internet. Yesterday she was boggling at the price increases in the sales flyers. I was like "Yes, dear. That's the way that it's been going."

Now she understands why I picked beef up when it was a good price. And why I picked sausage up when it was on a good sale. And why I picked up pork chops when they were .99/lb. All in the freezer now.

Weird. What has happened around here for several months now hit or miss is all of the cheaper brands of everything from generic brand aluminum foil vs name brand, fresh produce vs organic cheaper eggs cheaper bread you name it frozen stuff.... All of the cheaper priced items are gone.
so all that is left is the higher priced items.

I see if every week when I go out.
