I'd say people could cut out juice and just eat apples, but they're about $1.70 each now.

£48 For Basic Necessities
Queen Typo 1 day ago
A child’s outfit, toy and two potted plants aren’t exactly basic necessities. Formula is a basic necessity but definitely drove costs up since they like to make it ridiculously expensive to choose formula but also make it impossible for moms to breast feed

I love eggs. They are my all time, lifetime favorite protein. I can easily go through a half dozen every day. But dear lord. All they eat are eggs? Someone crack the windows before they strip the paint off the walls

Coke a cola, 3 12 packs for $12? That's a bargain! The cheapest I've gotten this year is $4.99/ 12 pack and you have to purchase 4 12 packs to get that price.

Wow! That's expensive! I think my local Aldi/Lidl/... would take about 35 Euros at most for this collection, unless there's a couple of steaks or truffles I overlooked. Does the bill include the air fryer? 😲

Okay, those in the UK, you're prices ain't that bad. I could go to Safeway and buy 2 bags of groceries for $150-$200. I wanted to guy a pumpkin pie and whipped cream for Thanksgiving today. The pumpkin pies are $5.99. The whipped cream is $5.99. With tax (in Manitoba), I would be paying $13.42. Just for pie and a can of whip.

These are all from the UK. I like the thread where the comparison is between countries.

Some of these people should pair up with others so they can learn how to shop to save. If I had a sainsbury, there are several here I would beg to sit at their feet and learn how to shop for a week on less than $5

What I learned was that if I ever have to shop for groceries in the UK M&S is fancy, Sainsbury and Asda is mid tier, while Aldi/Lidl are greatest fot price/quality relations, but with very limited variety (okay, knew that last one before - I'm German). And Iceland apparently offers somewhat scrappy stuff at (assuming) lowest cost withe a somewhat eclectic range of produce, depending very much on your "am I feeling lucky today" factor.

Is this list pissing anyone else off? I paid $100 today for 2 huge pumpkins and some fruit. The US is definitely not experiencing these prices. I'd love to see what people are really paying instead of these braggarts who bought next day expired food.

Calm down, sweetheart, these are normal prices. Look up what Waitrose and Sainsbury's are. And then get some therapy for your aggression problem.
