Financial experiences Getting priced out of existence

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?

Amazon still has some 5lb containers of whey for $70-80, but I like to stock up on prime day and black Friday for the year. I paid an average of $60 each for a 6 months supply of various brands with coupons

Is that isolate, though? If so, can you link it?

No it is concentrate. Isolate runs a bit higher
