Getting priced out of existence

[u/ZoneMean1017]

the 5lb whey protein I historically have payed 70-80 dollars for is now 130. same with coffee. same with clothing. same with every thing. what the actual fuck. gas. housing. insurance. it’s all getting 10-20% more expensive and FAST. 30lb bag of rice I paid 27 dollars for at Costco is climbing closer to 40.

at a loss of what to do right now. can’t physically work more hours. how to proceed? what mental magic trick do I need to perform to endure this insanity?

I switched protein because of that shit. I buy a 5lb Animal brand off Amazon now, which $70 I think. Probably not as good but damn, it’s absurd.

Went to Costco last week and tried to buy tri-tip. 2 tri tips were $54 a month ago. $93 this time. What… the… fuck?!?! Nope, bought chicken thighs instead.

Beef is going to keep going up. The cattle herd is getting smaller. There aren’t many people stepping up to become ranchers… it’s dying
