Alarming Food Prices

[Member 536573]

Kroger just raises the prices and puts those yellow stickers on the racks that say "reduced" to make you feel better.

I love Chipotle, but every time their prices go up, their portion sizes go down

I had sticker shock today at my local Dillons. Last week I about fainted when I had to pay $7.29 for 85% lean ground beef. I went to buy some today and it was $8.49 a pound. What the hell are young families surviving on? When my family was young we fixed many meals with ground beef trying to make our money stretch. I'm sorry... eight and a half bucks for quality ground beef is ridiculous!

almost all meats, whether beef or chicken, the prices has sky rocketed. most of the beef are any where from$70 on up. it's insane. i have not had a ribeye from costco in months. the only thing that is relatively cheap are the beef ribs and lamp chops. at least chicken, though the prices have gone up, are cheaper than beef. i might look into some porkchops over the weekend.

also just shopping at costco is crazy insane. i used to be able to get $150 and get a ton of stuff....not now. its more like $200 bucks now.....just ridiculous!!!!

Not like the last few times I was over there, got enough food sometimes for two meals.

Sure slight inflation, the last time I was shopping, I spend a little less then about thirty dollars.

Ribeye is still the same price at Kroger here, as is most other meats, 'cept the 85% hamburger is up over 22 dollars a 5 lb roll, (4 dollars a lb).

Sounds like California is just about maxxed out for supporting all them illegal freeloaders ...

I never thought of California at all, except for the high prices.

I did not buy because I still have a decent stock vac sealed and froze. Costco's 88% lean was up to $5.49 if I recall correctly. Kroger is over eight dollars a pound for their 85% lean.... ouch!

Just picked up one of these at Kroger the other day :

(4.60 lb ?) The grease makes for good taco meat dishes ...

So this is from a grocery run at some dollar general store. I believe i spent under $30 for everything seen here.
The breakfast item (I believe i got three of them $2 each ,$6 total) at truck stops they sell the breakfast bowls for $7-$8 each
Let's move on to the chimichangas , most truck stops sell them 2 for $5 or 2 for $6 i was at place once that sold them separately for $4.
Eight count bag at a dollar general $8 (savings at truck stop $48-$60 dollars)
Can veggies and beans $1.78-$2.00 ?
Truck stop anywhere from $3.50-$5.00
Instant rice
$3-$5 dollars, dollar general
Truck stop $7.99-$9.99
Salsa $3 dollar general, $8-$10 at truck stop
The bag of cheese $2.25 at dollar general, at a truck stop (if you come across it, expect to pay about $7-$8 per bag.
I made two or three protein bowls with the tomatoes, black beans, rice , cheese and salsa (i also had corn) estimated cost maybe $10
Ordering them or buying them at truck stop, restaurant $10-$15 each.
