I’m a single man 43, when Donny was reelected my weekly grocery bill was about $80. As of march my groceries have cost me well over $170 and as of last week it is close to $200. So much winning we might get tired of all the winning.

I used to buy a lot more. The combination of getting laid off and only finding a shit job that pays shit (thanks AI) and inflation are the big factors.
Capitalists can go fuck themselves. If they want people to buy they need to pay us.
So glad that PEDOnald the Pumpkinhead is focused on:
- Covering up the Epstein files
- Distracting from the Epstein files
- Starting wars and raising prices for everyone
- Kidnapping foreign leaders
- Plotting to steal resources (such as from Greenland and Venezuela)
- Disappearing gardners
- Babbling about "men in women's sports"
- Still fixated on better men and trying to trash-talk them because he has small dick energy (Biden, Obama)
- Engaging in obscene levels of fraud and corruption that will possibly set up himself and his crime family to be bankers to the world and deal himself so much money that it would embarrass Putin and make his crime family the richest in the world - https://www.unftr.com/trump-stablecoin (Stablecoin/USD1/GENIUS and Clarity Act)
staged like 3 shootings recently, to distract from the epstein files, also now the iran war hasnt been resolved, he needs the press to stop reporting that too.
3-9 is basically distracting the epstein files. something new always comes up about epstein, he needs a distraction again.
Rocket Mortgage had this truly nasty commercial that showed some schlub walking towards his house with three bags of groceries while the voiceover says that it used to be six bags. Then the guy's house starts talking to him, reminding him that he has a tiny bit of equity in the house and he can get a second mortgage to pay for groceries. Then the guy starts dancing happily.
Just astonishing that a corporation can sell borrowing money for food as a good thing. Rocket Mortgage's owner Dan Gilbert also owns my favorite NBA team (Cleveland Cavaliers); I would be happy that they're getting the shit kicked out of them by the Knicks if it weren't for the fact that the Knicks' owner is just as big of a scumbag. At least Gilbert doesn't pretend to be a blues musician.
I'm hungry a lot. I work part-time in a grocery store. I hate being an American.
I havent bought beef in a while
Me either I might by a pack of ground beef a week. Where I am it is nearly 6 us dollars a pound which translates to about 12 ish dollars for my family for one meal component. Chicken is not a lot better at around 4 dollars a pound.
Same her. I just swapped out everything to chicken/pork and even pork is climbing in price now. It's fucking ridiculous out there.
I was filling up my gas tank the other day and I just stopped because I decided that that was enough money spent on gasoline for the day. The tank wasnt full. I wasnt out of money. I understand that it means i will have to find a gas pump sooner eventually. But, man, it made sense in the moment.
Billionaires: idgara. Now get back to work!
Thanks trump. And all you dumbass sitouts.
I would RATHER pay MORE for Groceries then to Arrest CHILD RAPISTS!

My weekly grocery bill has gone from $100 to $150 on average.
UK here. There are three adults in our household and together we're paying about £150 per week (about $200). We're not skimping at all. That includes a couple of steaks, fresh salmon, mussels, pork, sometimes lamb.
I never thought the US cost of living would exceed that on this damp island.
And remember, we're going to be forced to go back to paying student loans in three months too!
What will be the total effect on the US economy after the Orange Shit Show concludes? On the other hand, does this mean fewer animals will be slaughtered to feed obese AmeriKans?
It won't dent animal food production. It will probably produce more food waste though. The corps will probably remain just as profitable, at the least
The only thing that would dent animal food production in the US is if the billionaires develop a taste for human flesh. It's possible they already have.
I'm once again reminded how happy I am to live in Australia
Your fuel is still cheap in 'Murica, but you insist on owning stupid vehicles
I'd be unlucky if I spent 'Murican$200 a month on groceries (it's just me and my dog), but I eat proper food (no convenience food, nothing from a packet)
It's usually steak, roasted cuts, proper identifiable bits of animals with vegetables, salads etc.
No frozen pizzas or any of the processed shit
And I'm not on a particularly high income or anything
I have never had junk food delivered
I don't think Americans actually understand that they have mostly had a fat lazy life of convenience
As an American who visited Australia recently, I can’t really disagree with you. There’s a lot of good there that we should learn from an implement here, but our culture as Americans is about individuality and winning. People feel like they are free if they can be individuals and win, if not then the propaganda is there that “Dream” is within reach if you only work hard enough.
It’s bullshit, but it’s a pride thing.
"I don't think about Americans' financial situation, I don't think about anybody." - Donald Trump, May 12th 2026
Unfortunately it’s probably not the same 61% that could see real health gains by cutting back on groceries. But there should be at least like a 20% overlap.
