    I can’t wait for the “GenZ are killing the restaurant business!” headlines.

      To late us millennials already claimed that. Pretty sure we killed restaurants around the same time we killed movie theaters, trade schools, and domestic beer.

      I dunno. I read it as “Gen Z is poor” and it pisses me off because its true. It seems like a trend where the rich get richer and the rest of us get just enough to scrape by so we’ll show up to work.

        That’s obviously what they are trying to get across but they affiliate it with something that isn’t bad at all and people should be doing either way, financially stable or not. It’s kind of a weird argument to say that Gen Z are poor, because it might also mean that they are just consuming more consciously by cooking themselves. There’s clearly ways of telling they are poor without this ambiguity.

    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!
