Food is getting astronomically expensive. You will never see those lame No Kings protests talk about the cost of living. Maybe some do in other places, they don't here. Why don't they? Well, because billionaires finance them!
The other week Aldis raised some prices so food that used to cost me 60 dollars now costs around 90. So much money is being wiped out even from food costs alone, it's disgusting. I cannot afford to go to regular grocery stores at all, unless I only need one or two things. We have to weigh the cost of gas to go to the farther away Aldis. Why are Americans putting up with this? I don't get it. This is what happens when 6-7 monopolies own most of the food production too. I went into one expensive grocery store, and noticed they now want $10.99 for a pound of turkey lunch meat. I miss the higher quality stuff but haven't been able to afford it in years. It's Land of Frost for me or the other types that have been processed to the max. This is one reason wealth and better health go hand in hand.

Maybe I want some blueberries, I haven't been able to have a blueberry in 6 months, oh those are $7.99! Don't get me started on the cost of gluten free food, that's a joke and a half. Outside of bread, I can't afford any of it. I have to cook my stuff from scratch.
People should be scared, there's a point people will not have enough money to buy food. What happens when the oil [manufactured] shortages kick in? The costs will go up even farther. I miss olive oil too and other foods.
The ethnic stores do help, I made paneer with Aldis Jalepenos, and onions and crushed tomatoes, with tumeric/garam marsala. At least the ethnic stores will give you decent amount of spices and aren't so keen to rip you off. The 45 dollar pot roast in the video is insane. I can't eat red meat like that so don't buy the stuff, but come on, who can afford that for one meal? Should it cost 60-70 dollars to make a pot roast meal? Maybe if people made 60 dollars an hour. This country is nuts. I am surprised no one is picketing these rip off grocery stores. Maybe they are afraid of getting banned and having nowhere to buy food. Our local stores are a joke. At least in a month the veggie stand will have vegetables, making my food prospects a lot better. How are your local food costs looking?
