Figures. 🙄
Food is 2-3x the price it was just a few years ago, yet you’re gonna roll your eyes cause people can’t afford even more expensive goods? Fuck off.
Where do you live? At least in Europe, food definetly isn’t 2-3x more expensive. Apart from that, the question is not whether your XXL hamburger from BurgerKing just had a 150% price hike but rather if you can still shop your (fresh, healthy) groceries.
With a secured baseline standard of living, we all will have to get accustomed to that fact that won’t be able to afford that many fast, unsustainablez trashy products.
Back in 2023 I could feed 2 people for 40-50 a week. 70 if we’re splurging.
Now we’re spending about 75-100 a week for bare necessities , if we want to splurge it’s closer to 120-140.
I don’t even buy alcohol any more since it’s out of our budget.
We cook for 12-14 meals a week and we eat out 1 meal.
I have all of my historical data because I keep a budget on my excel sheet. I can pull up exact numbers.
I’m located in Germany.
