Rice and beans have always been extremely cheap.

I'm not so poor that I have to eat only rice and beans and canned tomatoes. I did that in my grad student days.

Inflation in the supermarkets has been real and serious in the last two years.

Tp - $ 20
Sushi - $9
Chili - $6
Sandwich $7

I mean it’s restaurant prices from a few years ago. Am I crazy to be shocked by this?


Cut out the middle man and use $1 bills for tp! We do it. It save money!

Ok, I get it, prepared foods right - BUT I used to go to Whole Foods and get chili and sandwich and sushi (for 2) for $15 for lunch for two. How can grocery store sushi be $9?? So now it’s cheaper to go to chipotle than the grocery store for lunch? And the tp price!! Come on.


There is no time in this world that you got sushi gif 2 from Whole Foods for $15 let alone a sandwich and chili also.

I thought that this thread was going to discuss how you got significant discounts using coupons.

Re the tp, that depends on brand and how much you got.

Prices are going up, but this is not a good example of that, tbh.

Enjoy your lunch.


+100

Your title of the post is misleading too.

And it doesn't add up to $50 (more like $40).

Um sushi has been $9 for a while. A $7 sandwich is normal. Tp depends o the size. You didn't get groceries, you got prepared food that was made at a grocery store.
