Did your food get more expensive with the pandemic?

[Mangospacho]

Yes. My groceries have gone from $180/week to $250/week now.

One of the underreported reasons for inflation world wide is crypto mining.
It's using so much energy and resources it's raised the price of everything made, processed or shipped, which is most everything especially food.

Crypto mining is an environmental and human catastrophe which is likely to hurt more people in the long run than covid.

Every little thing on the planet got more expensive my question is the food that you buy you know the stuff that you leave up on your counters you know like maybe avocado or bananas are oranges have you found that they are going bad faster than ever before and have you found that things that you buy are turning rotten fast something in the air like your bread gets moldy faster just anything like that I'm curious

[FreyaRed]

Yes. Around 30%, especially veggies, by meat, fish and cheese it's less 10%. Convenience food, frozen pizzas, etc. increased a lot 50-100%, but I don't use them so I'm not really affected.

[AviatorTom]

Yes. A typical trip to the grocery store (which we make every other week) used to cost around $70-$80 as of mid 2020. Now, early 2021, that same trip costs $110-$120.

We certainly spend more at the grocery store, but we eat out far less often now. Probably much better for our health!

[collie22]

food prices have gone up some in the stores and way up at the restaurant

[KrisPW]

Yep! Both eating out and groceries both.

[Wise4myage]
