[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're late to the game. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING went up in price while our salaries relatively remain the same. They're all added up.

Whose fault is that?

It’s totally not the Biden admin. It’s all about the vodkaman in Russia. [/quote]

I think it was caused by a combination of factors but primarily three things:

Supply shocks due to covid and ukraine 
Loose monetary policy from the Fed 
Stimmy/Bidenbucks

Anyway, OP no judgment for doing what you need to do to feed your family. I’ll share that I cut my grocery budget in half by shopping at Costco and Aldi/Lidl.[/quote]

NP. Great for you if you want to live in the 'burbs where Costco and Aldi/Lidl are located. It would take me an hour and a quarter of a tank of gas to get to any of these from DC.[/quote]

DC has both an Aldi and a Costco. Where have you been PP?[/quote]

I live in Montgomery County and the nearest Aldi is 10 miles and the nearest Costco is 12 miles. Both of these places are a 30 minute drive.

Also, there are studies published in peer-reviewed economics journals that show shopping at these warehouse clubs causes you both the spend and eat more.

Where in MoCo do you live? I live like 3 miles from Wheaton Costco and 1.5 miles from Aldi. And another 3 miles to two other ALDIs. If you live further out, there is a Gaithersburg Costco and many ALDIs out that way.[/quote]
