This week I noticed that frozen tilapia increased 30% from only 2 weeks ago. I read labels and only buy stuff discounted or on sale or is in the discount food rack. I live close to poverty level in CA and it takes me twice as long to shop than the average person since I have to compare, read, and do the math before anything goes into my cart. I can't cut down any more I have been since I was literally a "starving artist" then I made a career move to one with big bucks...a school teacher (HA!) until I got sick and had to stop. I have always lived like it is the Great Depression. Now I guess my 81 pound body will disappear completely. I lost 15 pounds last years from tRump related stress, in 6 months a strong wind will blow me away. MAGA will be joyous, one less Dem to torture.
