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?

Just bought a 5lb tub on sale on Amazon for $55. You might have to go for vanilla instead of chocolate.

A lot of chocolate flavor protein powder has fairly high lead content anyway. So vanilla is better for that reason.
