    I feel this comment. I buy raw ingredients because they are cheaper, though.

    I just got back from treating myself and my partner to 2 coffees, one sandwich, and a small muffin… $40. Forty. Four with a zero after it…

    I just can’t any longer. I don’t make that kind of money. Every year the cost of living increases are less than inflation, and things like gas, food, and power are skyrocketing.

      Isn’t that just bonkers? You can barely get a meal anywhere for two people under $50 now, I don’t make that kind of money either and never did, that’s groceries for half a week at the very least.
