I have sticker shock from the prices. A small piece of soup chuck to make a pot of soup was $10.59 a pound. This is supposed to be the cheap meat. And I even skipped a food group ... chocolate. Even I won't spend $5 for a small bag. Stock up now, because this is only going to get worse.

My wife and I shop for two, it's just us at home. We try to eat healthily and have also noticed the increase in prices, or alternately the same price for items that are now smaller. Popcorn bags, for example, are about the same, but they try to hide the fact that the contents is about 70% of the former size. It ain't working.
What REALLY got my attention recently, I used to recall that a 6-pack of Caffein-Free Diet Coke was around $3 and change... now they're $6 and change, a 100% increase in price!! For what is basically sugar water with caramel coloring. It's not like there are exotic ingredients like truffles or English Blue Stilton cheese in these things, but they have doubled in price. DOUBLED!
So, I'd like to ask the Biden maladministration WTAF is going on?
It's the gas prices.
Yes, but, junk food aside, what about prices of real food?
Well, let me hasten to add that formerly I used to have one Diet Coke every couple of weeks with chili, pizza, or some such item, and a 6 pack would last me a month or more. I have now sworn off Coke (and Pepsi too) because of their ridiculous pricing for what is essentially carbonated water with coloring. My go to drink now is tonic water with lime juice.... contains quinine, good for defense against colds etc.
For real food, yes, we are indeed seeing an increase. Actually we're seeing an increase in EVERYTHING.... our pest control company announced a price increase, as did our utilities and water company. Every single thing one eats, drinks, puts in a car, uses to warm (or cool) a house, it's ALL increased.
Insert a Joe Biden "I DID THAT" sticker here.
Don't insult carbonated water like that! I drink flavored seltzer and it's great. I pay like 60 cents a quart-sized bottle.
Soda is either syrup and acid, or Splenda and acid xD
No matter how you look at soft drinks, it's still junk food with no nutritional value.
"We try to eat healthily"
You keep using those words. I don't think they mean what you think they mean.
Just sayin. . . . .
