1. Went to buy coffee today and it was insane. I went to 3 markets before I found some on sale. Not my usual favorite brand

Waiting for Publix to have their buy 1 get 1 free sale on coffee then I will stack up.
Good news for the price of eggs folks. Eggs are cheaper (Nothing to do with trump), everything else is higher.

2. I know!!!

Frozen tilapia at Ralph's increased from $9.99 to $16.99 in 2 weeks. I literally stand in the supermarket isle with my mouth hanging open as I mutter, "What the fuck is this shit?!?!?" and other shoppers notice and then they commiserate with me (as I proudly wear my homemade anti-tRump earrings in my very blue San Diego neighborhood).

Since I have chosen shitty careers as far as income goes (artist then teacher) I have always bought only generic items and food that is in the "3 days old" section of my market. My friends made fun of me. This has been reality my entire life and it is no fun!!!

Now others will find out how much fun it is to go shopping when you are slightly above poverty level and live within your means. It takes me twice as long to shop since I do the mental math as I shop and read and compare labels. I live alone and I do not waste ANY food and only eat out only 3 times a year. My clothes, furniture, and appliances are all over 25 years old and I try to repair everything with duct tape, crazy glue, magnates and safety pins. I can be very creative. I live exactly as my grandparents lived during the great depression. I recycle alum foil, plastic wrap, and food. I have lived this way since 1980. Thanks a lot Raygun!!!!!

4. Magnates never stick to anything

They always just roll to the top and leave everything still broken

As we say in opera, VERISMO!

5. One big way to save

Would be to temporarily go vegetarian.

I’ve seen the prices. They are stratospheric. That shot of the tortilla chips with the bag only one-third full for $3.99 is no exaggeration.

7. My daughter and I live together.

She is already vegetarian and I'm about to join her.

8. I think you

Will enjoy it. There are so many creative ways to fix vegetables!

6. My girlfriend, who buys most of our groceries, and I are fortunate enough

to be able to deal (so far, anyway) with the ever rising grocery prices, but they are still difficult to look at and remember what they were not that long ago. I simply don't know how some people can afford to eat anymore.

9. I'm Donnie Dump and I approve these prices. Are we GREAT yet?
