If you think grocery prices take a big bite out of your paycheck in the US, check out the rest of the world 🍆🍅🥩🥓🥖🥔🌽
"What’s more, it’s important to note that food prices in the U.S. — relatively speaking — are the cheapest in the world, and have been for a long time. This is the case whether measured in terms of disposable personal income or in terms of percentage of household expenditures."
@gemswinc i'd be a lot happier if i could buy actual food ingredients rather than processed food & "ready made" items in the supermarket.
@redenigma You don't have a source for what you prefer? I drive about 20 min & also admit to Amazon
@redenigma Wow. So far, not an issue here, but I am in a much more populated area. I do see my favored "Wild by Nature" slowly adding what sells, more junk.
We still have a neighborhood butcher, farms and nearby vegetable markets. Food availability is a top consideration if moving, I have decided.
@CJLavoie Glad to hear that! Those darned migrants 😉 @redenigma
@gemswinc @redenigma I've been fortunate to live in small cities that have pretty good Asian or other "ethnic" food stores, locally owned, not chains, that have some fresh veggies and meats.
