I feel this comment. I buy raw ingredients because they are cheaper, though.
I just got back from treating myself and my partner to 2 coffees, one sandwich, and a small muffin... $40. Forty. Four with a zero after it...
I just can't any longer. I don't make that kind of money. Every year the cost of living increases are less than inflation, and things like gas, food, and power are skyrocketing.
