I don't understand how any of the big food conglomerates are still rolling along just fine. I stopped buying anything name-brand in 2021 short of a pound of Bar-S bologna for $1.69, given a food budget of $35 per week. I can afford more now, but I'm not paying $4.50 for Oreos ("Family Size," which is smaller than the regular size was into the '90s) on sale or $7 for 1.5 quarts of ice cream. They've permanently lost me as a customer. Soda is a nonstarter when I can make two quarts of Kool-Aid for 36 cents.
I just placed a Huel order to see whether that's a possible solution, since I'm also in a situation where I've been unable to cook since October.

Grocery prices are no longer climbing as much as they did in the last two years — but many Americans are still frustrated by what it costs to put food on the table.

Here are three things to know about food prices these days — and why it still feels more expensive at the checkout lane of your favorite grocery store.
Grocery prices are particularly noticeable because they are such a significant chunk of the typical family's budget, accounting for about 8% on average, according to government data.
Some of that is because shoppers are balking at the higher prices by cutting back on chips altogether or by switching to cheaper store brands.
"You may not ever have considered the Market Pantry bread, but it's $1.39 for a big loaf of it," Whitworth says, referring to Target's private label.

Yeah this bot is kind of bunk. I've been saying this for weeks. Haven't gotten around to trying to contact the dev.
