I got some hotdogs, buns, cold-cuts with condiments, and two steaks for $6 a piece, some juice... and it cost about $75. My cart was barely a 1/4 of the way filled. Inflation is well above 10%. I wish I took a photo. I think we should start posting shopping cart photos, with totals here. Groceries plus gas is a nightmare right now.

I worked bagging groceries in high school in 1980 - 81. One day a group came in and filled 3 or 4 carts to overflowing with the most expensive stuff in the store - steaks, deli meats & cheeses, produce. (Turns out a local oil refinery was on strike and the management team had to step in and run the plant during the strike. Obviously they took care of themselves!) But those several carts totaled to $300! Of course I was making $2.85 at the time and gas was $1.25, but amazing how $100 no longer buys a cart of groceries or a tank of gas!
The good ol’ days. I bet they were still closed on Sundays.
