I went grocery shopping earlier. I bought enough to last for a few days, and nothing extravagant, yet even with the small discount for using my own canvas shopping bags in lieu of the landfill crowding plastic bags, it still totalled seventy bucks. Yikes!
It's hard to believe that food can cost so damn much for so damn little. The cost of meat has gone through the roof. I bought a couple of pounds of ground chuck and a small package of chicken breast. Hardly expensive cuts of meat. Add a few fresh veggies and a small amount of fresh fruit, and the cost is unreal.
I'm usually pretty good at eating on the cheap so I was a little surprised at the total bill. Oh well, one has to eat.
