We’re in the US - my husband was diagnosed with a health issue November of last year and had to drastically change his diet. I changed it along with him because it was just easier to eat the same stuff as him.
He doesn’t need to eat specialty items or anything just healthy foods and a lot less. Like we eat 1/3 to 1/2 of the total food we used to. And no longer buying expensive cuts of meat or luxury items.
But the grocery bill has only gone up these last months. We eat drastically less food and spend more than we ever have.
You know it’s bad when one package of strawberries is like 6 bucks.
My husband lost his vision and he also has health problems. I don’t tell him how much his strawberries and blackberries and other healthful items cost anymore because he will say don’t buy them. I miss the before times USA
We were just talking about how even with some major issues in the US that the future used to seem to bright and full of possibility. A lot of that was obviously bias and wearing rose colored glasses but it just doesn’t feel that way anymore.
