It kind of is the point... I mean I got some groceries today, came home with 4 full bags and spent $80. In honesty, it was a mix of junky foods and healthy foods (think meat, potatoes, peaches, ice cream, frozen chicken nuggets, etc) plus a pack of paper towels, a couple things of juice, and a stuffed animal for my kiddo (I couldn't say no)...

Do I think it was all worth as much as I paid? No, that same trip used to cost way less. Food is a necessity and it should absolutely not cost as much as it does now. Same can be said for electricity and heating oil...
