The U.S.A. is and can be self sustaining if necessary.

Our average monthly grocery bill (including basic toiletries) has increased by 20% since 2016.

Luckily our wages also increased by that much. But we can't keep increasing it to infinity.

Whole Foods has gotten more expensive in the past year (organic pasta went from $1.49 to $1.67, ugh), Key Food sales are still pretty low ($1 cans of Progresso soup right now, $2.50 Simply Orange fairly often), Trader Joes seems the same?, and Hong Kong Supermarket seems like it went up in price. I can't vouch for the rest as these are the only places I grocery shop. I need to check Aldi again, but the closest one is at least a 45m subway ride away.

I like how "wall" is now going in quotes, as people are realizing that DT was completely full of it when he promised one that Mexico would pay for...the question is how much of a simpleton you had to be to buy it in the first place...

That's weird. I didn't take that post as ignorance. Unless you believe there is some truth in us actually eating coal. Will I have to eat coal? I'm pescatarian and I don't think my body can handle coal. I already have the upper body strength of a vegetarian and my head is the size of a bowling ball. I barely have the strength to carry me much less be emphatic to every "ignorant " comment judged by an overly sensitive society.


O and If anyone really cares ...I have noticed groceries are high here all the time but yes much higher. I think it's the cold weather in farm counties.
I shop at Aldi and Stop&Shop.

That post was an ignorant post trying to disguise itself as being witty. I am getting the same vibes from yours as well.

Someone in the corporate office of a supermarket said that it's related to Trump's tariffs.

I find that unlikely, personally.

^ That might have to do with the recent national Romaine lettuce recall.
