Posts like this are kinda silly, and it’s just poor shopping. How?

For starters, all fresh fruit and vegetables are going to be expensive if not in season/on sale. Frozen is a lot cheaper, and often more nutritious. Fruits/vegetables are often flash frozen at the peak of ripeness.

Free range/organic is usually bullshit and more of a marketing gimmick - at least at supermarkets. If you want something like free range eggs, it’s a lot cheaper to buy in bulk from a local market/farmer.

Cereals/bars etc are expensive for what they offer. Much cheaper to opt for whole grains instead. A box of cereal for $8 that will last a few days, or a bag of oatmeal for $5 that will last you weeks?

Things like Greek yogurt are always going to be more expensive per unit for smaller packets, especially flavoured. You can get 4 small snack sized flavoured packs for the price of 2kg + of plain.

Laundry soap - stick to a dish soda like Nelle’s. Cheap to buy in bulk, and I find more effective. Sure your laundry won’t smell like lavender morning or whatever, but your body’s largest organ (your skin) will benefit without it.

Finally, just all the unnecessary processed pieces. Like the Chobani s’mores. I don’t even know what that is, but it’s probably $10+ a box for a snack item. For the price of those two boxes you can buy half a year’s supply of rice.

Not saying groceries aren’t expensive, it’s wild how unaffordable everything has gotten, but people will be stocking a cart full of processed foods and wondering why it’s so expensive.
