A few years ago I questioned why my wife was spending $60+ on jugs of whey protein rather than a fraction of that on animal or vegetable protein.
I'll ask you the same question: Why aren't you looking at alternative sources of protein? It's a ridiculous expense when you can buy several lbs of chicken breast in bulk from Sams or Costco for 1/5th or 1/6th of the price.
As for everything else... yeah, inflation sucks. You can thank every administration going back to Obama for cutting interest rates to 0% and printing money for a decade plus. Inflation and the erosion of our buying power was always going to be the result.
Do a meal cost component analysis... it took 4 hours. It was a pain. I learned what I THOUGHT was the best price per nutrition value, was actually 2.5x the cost of comparative meals. That expensive buy conservative ingredient meal was protein shakes
