That’s where your money is going 😎👉👉💰

OMG MY FAMILY THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY AND LIKE NO

I track my spending on a spreadsheet. And I definitely saw a significant rise in groceries, etc. over the last few months.

The first higher bill/receipt I was like ‘hmmm, maybe I got some out of season produce and maybe something else wasn’t on bogo’

But the the next time, it was the same and it hasn’t gone back. I told my family and they are just like ‘well what are you buying? You must be buying extra stuff for your total to be so high’ and like NO.

I am buying the same fucking things I always buy. I might get green apples vs red depending on what looks best, but everything is the same. Same toilet paper, same pasta, same granola bars, same seltzer water. And I get the same amounts to last for about a week.

The prices have just gone up! And my pay hasn’t changed. (Although the assholes that run the company have cut payroll, so even though I make the same amount dollar wise, hour wise I make less. It’s a fucking pay cut without cutting the pay rate.

But yeah. I’m not sure what the income threshold is to where you don’t notice the inflation/gouging, but it’s fucking there.
