[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]As food prices soar and will most likely do so given the impact that policies will soon deeply harm the immigrant community[/b], what is no longer worth it when it comes to dining out or picking up food?

1) Chinese food (at least in my area); quality has been on the decline for years, but last night was the final straw at what used to be our semi-decent local place. The Crab Rangoon was cloyingly sweet on the inside, to the point of being inedible. The noodle dishes and meat dishes alike were greasier than usual, and the quality of meat was sub-par. The dumplings are super thin and don’t hold their shape; I love thick dumplings. Just not worth it anymore, unfortunately, though maybe I can find better Chinese food when visiting friends or traveling. I do love it every now and then!

2) Fast food or quick serve drinks of any sort. We’re going to stick with waters or drinks we bring on road trips, or drink iced tea, soda or alcoholic beverages at home when we bring food home. No alcoholic beverages or lemonades or anything at sit-down meals, unless it’s a very nice restaurant for a special night out; no drinks with casual dining.

What habits have you changed? What’s not worth it to you anymore? [/quote]

WTF? [b]Food prices have soared the last four years due to Biden[/b]. How do you not understand this?[/quote]

Apparently as easily as you do not understand how ignorant you are.[/quote]

They soared all.over the world.

A few things are worth it to me anymore:

1. Hershey's chocolate. It tastes like they have changed the recipe and it's cloying sweet now.

2. Any preprocessed snack food: I'm not paying that much for bags of potato chips and popcorn or most any chips. We've also stopped buying any soda. It used to be a special treat but that isn't even worth it anymore.[/quote]

Some of the things I've changed are because I've changed my eating habits, not because they weren't worth it anymore. However, as I've eliminated extra sugar and carbs (like switching to dark chocolate and less of it, and not eating chips anymore), when I have looked at getting them for a treat for the kids or for throwing a party or something, it's a sticker shock. Halloween candy? We didn't even participate in trick-or-treating this year. I wasn't going to spend $20 per bag and have all that temptation sitting around the house beforehand or any leftovers afterward. The health-aspect of it isn't worth it anymore at those prices.

The increased prices seem to confirm the health decisions I was already making.[/quote]
