Me too. All of these high prices stem from greed and I mean greed on a global level. The price of meat has gone way up in my city and there's no shortage of cattle in our country so it has to be greed.

Not sure but I think that some of the high prices may be due to the fact that so much beef is being exported these days.

Chocolate, these days they're putting castor oil extract in it to simulate "creaminess". Eat more than a couple ounces and you have the shits.

Now I buy only the artisan stuff, it's 5x more expensive, but at least it's just chocolate, at least 60% cocoa

Also, hamburger rolls. I remember when shell life was like, 10 days. Now it's 6 weeks. The stuff is loaded with chemicals and it fucks up my guts. Now I buy locally from the bakery. You have to eat it quickly otherwise it spoils

Yogurt, I buy only one brand now, expensive too, but it's just like the stuff I used to have as a kid

Fruits and veggies, I also stay away, with a few exceptions, like the watermelon I buy from the guy who comes from 6 hours away, but he lives in one of the best places in Brazoo to grow fruit, they have the perfect micro weather there and he used no pesticides, only organic ferts. I stopped eating watermelon for a while because I could taste the glyphosate, I swear. The day I ate his produce, it unlocked another childhood memory.

The Safeway local to me marks them up absurdly. No idea if that's a franchise-wide thing or strictly a local issue, but they add $2-3 to each packet on top of what you'd find the product for elsewhere. A shame, too, because they make a great ingredient. Half pound of ground beef or bison, mix it with instamash and you've got some damn fine comfort food.

Palm oil apparently, I only eat the 90% cocoa variety.

Yogurts an occasional thing for me, usually get black cherry for flavour overload.

Veggies for me are peas, leeks, sweetcorn and baked beans. Its more salad for me. But love fruit.

I've cut back our use of olive oil. Pure butter is cheaper. I'll still use olive oil on salads or uncooked with vegetables, or drizzled over a pizza.

I'll only buy chocolate if it's half priced and either pure dark or milk chocolate. None of the fillers.

Most things we enjoy, we still buy.... if they're shelf stable. But, it often takes 2-3 months to see a half price sale on them (after already hyperinflation), so we buy 2 or 12 of them, and moderate our consumption and wait for the next deal.

We've been doing this for years... so it didn't take Covid lockdowns or fossil fuel fights to spark us into this mindset. We just asked how other families around us were spending 400-450 bucks per week, and we were floored by their responses....since at best, we spend 140 bucks per week. We have big freezers, big pantries, and I can make anything if I put my mind to it.

Honey is one old food that can be eaten.... salt and sugar as well... most pastas and rices if suitably sealed in a vacuum can last decades, although the nutritional values can vary.

What is old food, really? A mark on the packet which says discard and buy more from us?

Roadkill is old food if you didn't initially hit it, but found it, examined it, and did a sniff test after cutting into it. Some say that is gross.. but why do us hunters hang their dressed kills from the rafters of their garages/barns for weeks unrefrigerated?

I'm currently replenishing my pantry with a mega shop of dried legumes and other shelf stable products, because I know things are going to probably get much worse here sooner rather than later.

Are dried out old beans, rice, pastas old food? Would you not eat shelf stable foods 1-2 years later when the "best use expiration date" suddenly says "no no no!!! Discard and buy MOARRRR"?

LULZ...you newbs..

We know some deer hunters who hate eating venison. The first free drop was a bit suspect. Two whole haunches. I had no room to refrigerate them, froze them asap in a chest freezer instead.... which becomes a problem when you try to defrost safely... so we made it into free dog food (which she loved).

I have a problem with free game from a friend of a friend with no details. There's no telling what happened between the kill, dressing, and cold.... but beef prices are getting so bad, I'm prepared to slow cook free meat until everything is dead.
