how much has your grocery bill gone up recently?

Sounds about right.

Probably at least as much as yours, cat food is unbelievable in the amount it has gone up and my cat's insulin keeps going up in price, last month it cost $184.00, I pick some more up tomorrow and I dread to see how much it is. Until last year, it stayed at $149.00 for several years.
Everything is going up by 50cents to $3.00 or more, the packages are getting smaller and produce has skyrocketed. The gov't tells people to eat healthy but the healthy foods are getting out of reach price wise. Income is not going up. Even if I get a small increase in my SS, I doubt if my net will increase because Medicare takes it away. I fall in that crack where my increase in SS is usually smaller than the increase in my Medicare. I don't even want to think what will happen when WKD is out of a job, we may become street people, we have some savings but it earns practically no interest (we lost a lot during the 2006 recession and WKD was ill and didn't work for 1 1/2 years (2014-2015) My story sounds like a lot of Americans, we're becoming a third world country, just a few rich at the top and most of the rest will be poor.

Not much at all for me.

My husband keeps track of credit card purchases, but sometimes I use cash.

So I will have to guess. Like WKM said, a lot of items are 50 cents more on a 3 dollar item.

I guess around 20%.


BTW I know I'm old, but in 1974 my three roommates and I each put $5 a week toward groceries/toiletries.
My grocery bill was twenty dollars per month.

Now a single roast can be that much.

I'm having to cut back on what I buy. Some things don't make it in to my shopping basket at the moment. Prices of simple food products in the U K have been soaring.

I think the term they're using for that is "shrinkflation", lol.

I still got my Little Dutch Boy BAKERY Holiday cookies for $2.00 a box at FAMILY Dollar. These cheap cookies are so good. I noticed that the Pepperidge Farm chocolate chip cookies are getting smaller and smaller (remember when they were a big cookie). I don't know what percentage my grocery bill has gone up but I notice some things go up by over $1.00, some just a few cents and many things are packaged in smaller proportions but the price is the same as it used to be. I guess those of us on SS are getting a good increase but I will probably get a smaller check because my Medicare always goes up more than my increase. Cat food is outrageous and my cat insulin went up $10.00 as well as the syringes. This is becoming a country of 2 classes, rich and poor (I'm poor.)

p.s. I may have to consider becoming a "mule" one day in order to take care of the wicked kitties, I'll do almost anything to take care of them and WKD.
