as someone that hasnt had an income in over a decade...

the price of food bro... omg

we get free stuff from this food pantry my mom volunteers at sometimes.
this week she brought home some soup from a high end deli that had stuff.
a bowl of soup.
granted , it had seafood, ok, but a bowl of soup, in plastic... from a deli in nebraska...
$9.00

i mean, grocery store is shrinkage and sticker shock, but man lol
im not built for this world anymore.

Bro you can pay $9 for a bowl of oatmeal in a restaurant here, not even kidding.

If my family of four goes out for lunch and it's less than $60, lunch mind you, not dinner, then I feel like it was pretty cheap.

Going rate for a large pizza in this town that isn't garbage like Domino's or the Hut is around $30, maybe $25 if you can find a cheap spot.

It's nuts.

Yeah food inflation has been a hot topic for past 6 months I'd say. Some products are 35-50% more than just a year ago. 

Waking up and our router went dead last night. AT&T isn't open for another two hours and I can't even call-in to work without the internet. My phone can't access our RVD to tell my boss my internet is down.

Looks like I'll be dealing with AT&T,  and running to Starbucks for some internet to do work, all day. 

Yeah, took the fam out for breakfast at a diner yesterday, wife and I split a meal, still came to $50 before tip.

Bidenomics baby!

if I got a local sub shop for lunch it costs me roughly $20. We've found that with  most restaurants lunch menus you can get a burger/sandwich and a beer for $20. Ive stopped eating subs.

I've found that the healthier you eat, the more expensive the meal. Hence, I'm fat.

For sure. The wife is a gluten-fee vegan and she spends two times more at the grocery store than I do. The restaurants she can eat at are ridiculously priced as well. I miss our 20's when the two of us would eat Shells & Cheese and Pillsbury Crescents for our 'fancy' dinner and it cost us all of $2.50.

Yeah dated a vegan chick for a while and that stuff is expensive. Even the vegan frozen meals

My life.

The vegan frozen meals at the grocery store have nearly doubled in price from 2 years ago.

I've been sneaking leaves from our yard and bits of dirt into Michelle's meals little by little just to cut costs. She hasn't noticed.

This made me spit my coffee out this morning.
 

Sounds like its time to start up that landscaping/frozen-vegan-dinner business we've always dreamed of.
