I know some people do bi-weekly shopping while others go once a week. I do my shopping once a week. When I have the basics stocked, I was able to get a week's worth of groceries for around $65 and just yesterday, I did my shopping and the total took me back. It was $140. Prior to this, the highest I have spent since inflation started getting bad was $90. I looked over everything and the cost of the chicken I normally buy doubled. Things like sweets and candy are up 30%. All the fruit and veg I bought doubled. I knew this was a bigger list than normal but I did not expect to be paying more than $110 TOPS. What the hell is going on? It seems like everything suddenly jumped in price again this year.

$150, but we only go once per month & we also keep stocking our WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN stuff.
