Crackers (which I don’t really buy, but noticed) are $6/box. Bread is $8/loaf. Eggs are $12 for a dozen. We pay $8-$9 for half a gallon of organic milk.

Good grief. Not too long ago they were $3, max.

That's insane. Holy crap. I will be honest that I have not been paying that much attention to grocery prices, but this cannot be real.
If I had to guess why, it is because we are in a stupid, pointless war that has driven up the cost of gasoline, and well, pretty much everything.

Thanks Trump.

A case of garbage domestic lager (Coors, Miller) is THIRTY DOLLARS. I lived on $30 a week in college in the late 90s.
Two years ago, the chips were $6, and the carrots and radishes were routinely $0.99.
What the hell is actually going on? Where is the money going?
