    Cooking is expensive now too. I’m paying pre-covid eating out prices to cook food at home, and I shop cheap. $80/week if I really hit some savings to feed just myself.

      Are you in Canada or the US? I moved from Canada (Toronto) to Germany, and it’s night and day how much less I spend on groceries.

      I went from shopping at No Frills in Canda to Lidl/Aldi in Germany, and I spend half as much as I used to. At least in Canada, it’s really disappointing to see how Loblaws has managed to get away with so much price gouging.

        Yes please all come here and ruin the prices further /s

        Prices increased over the last year or so justified by energy prices but in reality it is the profit margins of the supermarkets. Thanks for the inflation Aldi!
