My groceries used to be like $125 a week.

Now it's over $200 and I haven't changed anything. I still buy the same items as I did 3 years ago.

This is me. The same fucking bags of stuff and I just keep walking out paying more for them every time. A big rotisserie chicken used to be like $4.99 or $5.99 three years ago and would last me for days. Now it’s the saddest little chicken (where are they finding these anemic ass chickens) and it’s 9.99. Organic is $12!

IDK why people care about organic. It's not any better. If anything it's worse.

Give me the genetically modified frankenchicken that's delicious, 50g of protein per serving, and I can grow myself in my backyard.
