I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. A 20-30% jump in a grocery bill is unprecedented in my life time. I'm skeptical it's even that low for most. Pre-pandemic, I was buying eggs for 1.39, they're 2.49 now. Jarred spaghetti sauce used to be 1.99, it's 3.49 now if I catch a sale. I used to be able to regularly buy chicken breast for like 1.49-1.99, now if it's less than 3 I buy as much as I can afford and freeze it. This time of year in my area, corn would usually be on sale 4/$1. The cheapest it's gotten is $0.79.

Just repeat ad nauseam for everything. The other day I was in the store thinking to myself, "I'm not sure I can afford convenience foods like canned beans." Canned. Fucking. Beans. The luxury.

I'm spending $2.30 for 18 eggs, buy spaghetti sauce at $.99 or so, and generally pick up chicken at about $1 a pound. Never seen corn on the cob for more than $.50 a cob, usually less than that. Bush's beans, we just picked some up at $2 a can.

Seems like you have a sweet deal somewhere. I can't remember when I last saw spaghetti sauce that cheap and my chicken is 4.59 a pound.

S&S market in my town of Clovis always had some cut of chicken at that price. Shit, if I really want to cheap out, Walmart has chicken leg quarters for $7 for a 10 lb bag
