minus-squareTubularTittyFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-24 months agothe fuck are you buying? mine have gone up about 30%. and i buy the same shit i did 4 years ago. some things went way up, then came back down, like eggs. most of what went up was meat and processed foods. dairy and veggies didn’t see much of a spike. milk is still 5 bucks a gallon.
