      Who can afford it these days? Groceries alone are over $200 a trip…

        FYI, lots of people have different grocery needs so a broad statement like “grocery trips are $N these days” is pretty meaningless without the context of your purchases or needs.

        A better example might be “my grocery bills are up 50% this year with no changes to what I buy!!”

        My grocery budget has changed the last few years, but from $65 average to now $85 average. That said the supplemental food I buy (occasional orders out, etc) has risen significantly more, probably upwards of +60% at times.
