Groceries are going insane

Yes. Well, this is what over 50% of your fellow Americans wanted.

I've been buying ingredients to make a pie for a Memorial Day cookout. I sh*t you not, I've spent over $35 to buy flour, butter, sugar, and the fruit going into it. INSANE.

SureOP, sure. Butter, flour and sugar will run you $15 max- all pantry staples. No fruit is in season except strawberries, and those are not costing you $20.

Butter: $8.50
Flour: $8.79
Sugar: $5.99
Berries: $7.50

Add tax. $35.

Go back to your expired food section in the lowest of the low store, Carol. I bet you buy flour with weevils in it, then brag about how thrifty of a shopper you are, lol.

I buy 50 lb for $20 then store it in the freezer like a normal person. I don’t waste $9 for 5-10 lb flour, Susan.

Normal people do not buy 50 pounds of flour and store it in the freezer.

Smart people bought a flour mill back in 2019 and have been storing grains for years and milling their own flour as needed. Fools by commercial All Purpose flour.

I wonder where some people shop. We mostly use Aldi / Lidl and our grocery bill is not sky high.

Flour: $8
Butter: $5

fruit... $8? What kind of fruit?

Where the eff do you shop, and how do you not have flour, butter or sugar on hand? Being out of one and needing some fresh fruit, I can see. But... You never bake? You never cook? How are you on E already?

I just paid $9 for what I deem is a small amount of red grapes.

You're an idiot for many reasons, not the least of which is: grapes make terrible pie.

Actually, normal people who regularly use flour do exactly this, and have been for years.

+1. It’s like all the people who buy rice in 25 lbs bags. When you use a lot of something, it’s what you do. If you only use flour a few times a year, then yes, you’re stuck overpaying.

No ones does this. WHO needs 50 pounds of flour?

People who make their own bread? Are you serious with this question?

Many here are rich and shop at overpriced trendy places like Traders Joe's and Whole Foods. Those places have advertising campaigns to pay for, so they put trendy labels on generic foods and charge twice as much.

I shop at Whole Foods and can't say I've seen any price increases, nothing like the 2020-2022 period. I think OP is stirring the pot.

I bought fruit at Aldi last week that was 3x the price it was a year ago. I know, because I keep track. Not happy. Prices are definitely higher at Walmart, Aldi, lidl.

Or obese people who feed their children a disgusting amount of white flour.

1/3 of the electorate didn't vote. 49.8% of the 2/3 that did voted for Trump, 48.32 % for Harris. So, no, not 50% of Americans.
