Grocery Prices Going Up Again

submitted by Scyber to Rants 1.7 yearsAug 28, 2023 20:36:23 ago (+32/-0)     (Rants)

Ground beef is averaging about $6.00/lb for 80/20 meat in my area.

Chicken is about $10/lb for breasts & $5.00/lb for thighs.
I don't buy wings because they're overpriced and half is bone weight.

Pork is the cheapest meat but the worse for you - can't believe a pound of bacon is cheaper than ground beef at around $5.00/lb in my area.

Don't get me started on potato chips. I can get over 10lbs of potatoes for the price of a bag of chips and that's fucking ridiculous.

Butter & cheese are overpriced unless I go to Aldi or a speciality high end store with better quality - but that means more money out of my pocket for gas & time to get there.

$5.00/lb for strawberries & grapes!

I've been checking out food on Amazon Fresh but their options are really limited & a lot of their stuff is about 30% more expensive then if I shop at Kroger or Meijer & at least 40% more expensive than Aldi.

Could Amazon & all these grocery delivery companies be purposely jacking up the prices? And they still charge $10 for delivery too.

I just dropped $83 on groceries last Monday and I'm almost out of food. I shop on Mondays because they usually have the best deals since most retail stores get their truck shipments on Tuesdays (I worked in retail for a few years and hated Tuesdays) but now it seems like everyone is just inflating the fuck out of everything on purpose and blaming the economy.

$80 used to get me about 2 weeks worth groceries - and almost a month's worth if I shopped at Aldi. But now Aldi is jacking up their prices too and that's like the cheapest grocery store in my area unless I travel 25 miles to the hood & shop at a Save-A-Lot or some other weird "food club" store that's only in the ghetto.
