Sweltering summer heat has strained households so severely one-third of Americans are cutting grocery budgets and spending less on entertainment to cover cooling bills.
Food is produced for people to eat so then why is it so expensive? In other countries food is affordable and it’s obvious that this is the way it should be.
I see a lot of people talking about their grocery bill increasing in the last year or two, but I’ve seen a steady increase over the last 10+ years. Food has been expensive for a while.
I hope you all are cooking- rice, beans, chicken or veggies, soup, etc and not just buying frozen dinners. That stuff isn’t affordable. You can get giant bags of jasmine rice and pinto beans at Costco. They are huge and cheap.
I’ve been on the rice, beans, pasta, and veggies diet for years. I used to brag my grocery bill was never higher than $50 a week. I now spend about $80 a week. I know that’s still nothing compared to my friends and family but I’m still pissed that even the poor people food hasn’t been spared by the price hike.

I’m sorry, but you are mistaken. We live under Capitalism, where food is produced for shareholders to profit by. The fact that people need to eat food is just a market force that generates an exploitable demand for food products.

We get those huge bags of beans, not canned. Huge bags of rice. Staples that’ll feed ya. May not be pizza rolls or frozen lasagna, but it fills ya up
