A pack of ramen used to be 10 cents each and a regular candy bar was 50 cents 😭

I got a bunch of lentils and beans this week and am making one batch of lentil soup to freeze and hand out to some friends, then another to freeze for myself. I only have half of a freezer for my stuff, so I am limited on the amount I can store up. Trying to keep some dry goods around, but, again, storage is at a premium in my small kitchen. I am thankful it is just me, so I can cut down on how many meals I eat each day if needed and can have enough leftovers to feed me for days. My big splurges have been rolls of ground breakfast sausage that I get on sale and freeze, eggs, and good cheese I like so I can make the best breakfast burritos. It is the one meal I look forward to.

I’ve legit bought pizza 5x this month because at dominos I can get 2 pizzas for $14 that feeds my family of 5 😭 it’s cheaper than buying anything else. It’s INSANE.

NOVA/DC area here. My grocery bill has gone up easily $200 more a month since beginning of 2025 and that’s being smart and frugal and shopping at 4 different stores etc. people arent paying attention I think - it’s bad.

And maga and centrists told us it was horrible to expect families to put “social issues” above the cost of living. No… we just expected them to wake up to the propaganda making them think a corrupt businessman cared about the cost of living at all

Same girl. Same. We’re dying up here in the Seattle area. The grocery outlet is what fancy grocery stores were this time last year. It’s insane.

Yes! The last few weeks I noticed the self checkout line winding around the store when the regular line was near empty. Like I know what that means lol

We need to change the system entirely. As long as basic human necessities are for profit this is how it will be.

This. I was confident enough in my budget to get pregnant 7 years ago. Now I REGULARLY skip meals and have collections agents calling and I'm making almost $7 an hour more.

Its not even just the cost of goods and food but UTLITILITIES too, to cook that food and heat your home etc. I think gas is up 13% or something like that? 🫠🫠

Says a whole lot when Dominos (on deals) is cheaper than a frozen pizza. We’re SO over it.

Remember when Kamala wanted to put a federal ban on grocery price gouging? They called her a Marxist. 🙄

I have four kids. Our groceries are typically $400-500/wk. Everyone gets free lunch at school in MN so I don’t even have to cover that. It was literally half that cost in 2021. Why tf is a box of Cheerios $8???

I almost lost my mind in the meat section - stew meat was $25.

on top of the tariffs hitting us, corporations know they can get away with price fixing and price gouging under this administration. there will be no antitrust lawsuits under this pro oligarchy administration. Trumps America.

trader joes has been the exception to all this nonsense, their prices have gone up max $1 on some items over the past 5 years, generally more like $0.50

Amy :
We have to just stop buying it. It’s the only way the corporation will realize we aren’t paying $8 for a box of cereal. We’ve been eating veggies, bean, rice, and chicken. I’m refusing to buy beef. They can bring the prices down or we aren’t buying it.

I remember moving out in 2011 and my mom showing me that I could get all the staples for the week (bread, eggs, cereal, etc) for $30!!! That same trip would be at least $100 now, not even exaggerating

Katelyn :
It’s awful. They are going to price gouge people literally to death. I refuse to shop at most places because of this. We only shop at Aldi for groceries now. They are the only store around us still reasonable in their prices. They even lowered the cost of their thanksgiving meal bundle this year by $7. That’s who I want to support.

AdriAnna :
We went to the store this week and I was expecting to spend about $150, that was including the extras we’ve been neglecting for the last couple months or so, soda that was on a really good sale, and stuff for our cats / rabbit. Total came to $198 before Cupons!

Stutzie :
I have stopped buying candy and oreos because how is a tiny bag (that lasts maybe a day) $7??? on SALE?? I've changed the things I buy and when I buy them, making it a point to only get things when they're on a STEEP sale. which means I don't make a lot of things I used to make.

Im glad I bought a six month supply of emergency food a few years ago. I didn't think that this would be the reason I would think about opening it though.

The only reason my groceries are less these days is because my eldest went away to university. He's coming in December because he's changing fields....I'm panicking just a little.

Yeah everything with work has always been bullshit, but at least things used to be affordable enough where you could enjoy yourself when you weren’t working. This feels like such an inescapable spiral 🌀🌀

General Ninja Cosplay 🍉 :
If you're in a more urban area that has it I would suggest looking at the Too Good To Go app- generally it has restaurant stuff but it can also have grocery markets. You can get a full bag of produce for a few bucks

I’m struggling to feed our family of five. We have a 6 year old, and twin 4.5 year olds. They’re growing kids. They need fruits and veggies and healthy protein. Luckily I have a yard and live in a warm climate. I’m starting a garden in my yard and seriously considering chickens for eggs. America is in a gutter right now and I hate it here. Life is so freaking hard All. The. Time. We pay more for our health insurance every month than we do on our mortgage. WTF is happening?!?! How are people surviving?!?

Michi’s World of Chaos :
Thank you for pointing out that about the younger generation with crap pay. The boomers don’t get it! My adult children are in their early 20s and make more than minimum wage wage, but they’re barely making it. EVERYTHING is 3x the price when I was that age and min wage is still the same $7.25… milk is $5! Eggs are $4! Make it make sense. people wonder why “no one wants to work” well, this is why. No one wants to work for poverty. Texas wages and price gouging are detrimental and dare I say calculated. 😢

This is the effect of tariff and lack of farm workers that have been told since nov 2024. Not sure why ppl are surprised

Hiii from a fellow SLC girly- I have found smiths to consistently be the cheapest here (got frozen pizza for $5 today), and they are giving people $20 each for getting a flu shot and an additional vaccine. Also, Trader Joe’s sells produce by the each not weight so you can go there and get the biggest squash, onion, etc and save some money that way 💕

35 here and I've been doing the grocery shopping for the house since 18. I make a LOT of spicy soup with canned vegetables, dry beans, and lentils....Like an unhealthy amount, probably. but it's got everything in it and I can batch + freeze.

My Dad called me Comet :
I have been a mom since I was 16. out on my own managing my own home and budget since 18.5 yo. I'm 43 now and same, some trips are cheap some are elaborate. we've been letting the pantry dry up more than usual the last few months. Making the most money I've ever made and now feel like I've been kicked all the way back down the ladder. It is a kick in the teeth and I am concerned about the future.

I just moved to the UK, and after my first very basic shopping trip for sandwich supplies, yogurt, and a few toiletries, I spent £16 ($23ish) I went onto the Meijer app and found that the EXACT SAME grocery trip at home would have been $48. and that was for the cheapest versions at home, I didn't even get the cheapest options here.
