Let’s forget corn and look at other groceries. Where I live, half a gallon milk is $5, a loaf of bread is $6.5, potatoes are $3 a pound, dozen eggs are $6 and so on. Grocery prices only rose about 200% in the past 4-5 years. I used to get loads of food for $100, now everytime I do a grocery run I pay at least $70-80.

Are you buying, like, Fairlife milk, Ezekiel bread, and the most organic, freest rangiest eggs on the shelf?

Believe it or not these are the most basic ass things you can buy in a grocery store in NoVA.

Oh, the most expensive things on the market are representative of the country as a whole... 🙄

I mean I wrote about basic necessities. Not sure what you’re smoking, but you can’t deny everything got a lot more expensive.
