I picked a good time to start watching what I eat......
....because every trip to the grocery store brings more hyperinflation so I can spend more, and eat less. A dozen eggs at the Aldi's when Trump left office was a buck. Today? $ 2.15. Cream cheese that had been about $ .80/package? Now it's a buck fiddy. Glad I cut way back on the bagels and cream cheese. And the milk, while being one of the only things that has NOT skyrocketed in price....$ 2.79. I grabbed a gallon, new rack, obviously just put out.....it expires in 5 days. I just put it back, because I don't like to waste food, especially not at these prices. obviously there's a supply chain problem with the milk, getting to the store with a 5 day expiration date. But hey, maybe the chicken breasts haven't gone crazy in price. Nope! Still listed for $ 2/lb. The problem is, there isn't any.
It's not just food and gas, the Bidenflation has hit everything. Great Recession II, when? @Jeff '79 |

Noticed that about the milk expiration dates too. I can't drink a gallon in 3 days so I won't buy one. Usually the half gallons have later expiration dates (can't imagine why) so I buy one of those and check the gallons again a week later.

What is the deal with Costco milk? Stuff has the half life of a Twinkie. We don't drink much milk at all... mostly just on cereal for breakfast. We bought a pack of 3 half gallons about 3 weeks ago and the remaining one has an expiration date of 5/10. Gotta be something bad in it?? |

Food prices are making it difficult for some to eat properly now...
I've cut back on everything with prices so high on everything now(not just food). Just a matter of time now before the crash happens... |

It’s not cheap eating healthy.
And I’m not sure what has happened with chicken lately. Might have something to do with all the chickens that they had to destroy…but the chicken I have picked up at Costco a few weeks ago has been terrible. Super rubbery. Gross. I couldn’t get past the awful texture. Tossed it right in the garbage. And I intentionally get the air chilled chicken so that it isn’t waterlogged. I also cook with a thermometer so I don’t over or under cook it. Very strange and has just began happening with this last batch of chicken breasts I picked up. |

I only do shopping probably once a month for the special dinners I like to cook. I do see the craziness of the prices and it's probably amplified due to the infrequency of my visits. I really notice the "supply chain" issues, but I'm not sure I buy the explanations. WTF happened to Claussen pickle supplies, and why? How come I can't get a piece of non-farmed fish that doesn't look like it was sent through a clothes ringer?
I know these are first world problems, but we seemed to have this figured out just a couple years ago. |

We always get chicken breasts from Smart Chicken, and I have noticed the quality has suffered lately. It's getting to the point that I won't order chicken when we do go out, a lot of it has that nasty processed texture. |

Asked the clerk what the deal was with the milk supply and she tried to act like it's always been this way. She's only been working there a few years so that's plausible ignorance I suppose. Not the end of the world if I can't get fresh milk. I have two large cases of powdered milk (gallon cans). Shelf life on those is good for about another ten years. If worse comes to worst I can use that in my coffee. Stuff wasn't cheap but it's worth having around. |
