Grocery Gripe

Posted on May 10, 2023 by Steve Ainslie

Once again, the price of groceries has gone up. Ground beef, which makes up 95% of my diet, has risen by nearly 50% since pre-Pandemic. Eggs are 200-300% more expensive and liver is up 20-30%.

Of course the quality of all three has not risen. 

I had a mild freak out today due when I realized my weekly grocery expense is going up by $22 due to a sudden beef price hike. 

Then I did the math. $22 x 52 weeks = $1,144. 

I’m not happy about it. But I’ll survive. 

I’ve cut just about every discretionary purchase from my life. 

If I need to, I’ll eat less too. 

F***ing pandemic. F***ing inflation. F***ing greedy, price gouging corporations. 

F*** them all.
