Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How much more are YOUR groceries under Joe?

In my area it’s probably 60%. We have changed our shopping habits but it stings.


Energy is what really costs us.

Sounds about right for my neck of the woods.

Around here -no way on the 30-40%, minimum 50-60%.

Real Gasoline today $4.05/gal. .

Gas is going up FJB

I can’t give you the exact number, but…

I usually do the shopping as my wife's health is no good these days. I think food is up 30% at least.

Same here!

A lot

I’m guessing 50 percent. Just went to the grocery store tonight. The bill was just short of $200 .

I still see full buggies at the Walmarks paid for by eeebbbbtees.

I’d guess at least 30%

Let's add in fuel.

About the same for me. Been buying Generic brands and save a little.

I am one of those people that can tell you almost to the penny of what things cost me. Groceries are up just under 100% for my family. That’s with no changes in shopping habits.

For the first time in my long life I noticed what a bottle of mayo cost. If I needed mayo I just grabbed my brand in the size and packaging I always buy. I had to look twice to see it was $7.45. For some reason I thought it was about $3.50. I ended up with a different brand I can live with that was BOGO. I’m learning to be a better shopper. I’m single so never really had to have a budget like a family for food. It doesn't take long to run up a $50 bill for condiment's at $7 a bottle. I was always paying more attention on pricing on things like meat. All these $3-7 items will kill you. Olive oil ? Holy cow that stuff has easily doubled in a few years.

That. Although we buy beef by the quarter or half, so overall our beef runs about $3.75/# - including them sweet ribeyes..

Everything in the stores though, is like you said - about 40% higher.. It's what we get when a freaking DEM takes over..

Probably in the 50% range in our area. We were behind a young family man in the grocery line yesterday. He had diapers, some meats, two gallons of milk, bread, & other normal family needs. His cart was pretty much heaped full and it was probably pay day for him. I overheard the bill.....a little over $300. Joe calls it Bidenomics.

"Cost of each item is about the same"?

An interesting exercise and no about about it and easy to chart from my checkbook.
Our most recent month February 2024 we spent $753.61 for groceries for the two of us.
Going back to February 2020 we spent $653.51 for groceries for both of us.

Where it goes pie shaped is when I look at January 2024 when we spent $304.27 for groceries.
Looking back at January 2020 we spent $828.37 for groceries.

Combined January and February 2024 that makes $1,057.88
Combined January and February 2020 that makes $1,457.88 or $400.00 more in 2020 combined.

I think what that tells me is that buying groceries in Wisconsin is way cheaper than buying groceries in Florida where we were in 2020.
That plus the fact that the wife is buying more store brands today than she was four years ago, shopping at Walmart or Kroger instead of a Publix and using a bunch of coupons when she shops.
