Yup. It's bad and you have to work with less ingredients. It doesn't change my tips just makes it harder to buy then on a whim and you really need to stretch them.

Eggs are cheap compared to other ingredients still. Even if they are not dirt cheap. I don't think I can get that much weight of protein for a similar price in anything else other than tofu. And I leave out telling people what veggies to use because honestly it's whatever is in season and cheap cause it's bad and gonna likely get worse.

They are suggestions of dishes that can be made with few ingredients for those that have to get calories and with the knowledge that unfortunately premade food is often even more outrageous. And even inflated costs comes out cheaper.

I'm aware of how much the price went up cause I have been making these dishes the whole time and what was once just general frugality has become necessary cost savings but it works.

The article is bullshit and from a stupid perspective, but also breaking down pricing from the whole dish to per person serving is very different. And you can stretch more filling foods into more servings.
