I’d also say it’s more than 3 in 5. Everyone I know has changed their shopping habits. I used to make a list and grab my stuff. Now I just wander around the store trying to see if there is anything cheaper I can try for dinner. Maybe a package of something about to expire or a premade dish that’s on sale.
I cut out breakfast and lunch entirely, so that helps me save up for dinner and luckily my work provides snacks. So I live on snacks and chicken since it’s all I can afford.
The farm report for 2027 is looking ROUGH. Trump has destroyed the economy and the entire farming industry. We are all cooked.
The super generic frozen dinners and prepackaged shit have become cheaper than cooking things normally where I am unless your going straight rice and beans or buying in massive bulk.
But for a single person even with meal prepping and freezing stuff. I end up with too much food spoilage to cost ratio at this point. So I can’t even do bulk buying with out losing too much to spoilage.
My meals basically have become cheap canned foods and frozen generic brand slop. With rice. Everything with rice.
Now can rice stop going up too. My store can’t even stock enough it’s always sold out. And my God the price of fresh veggies destroy me. So only frozen bulk veggies or canned!
They do!! And they will order stuff we request. Most protein bars are really high in saturated fat, so I can’t eat them. But lots of granola and cashews.

Does your job offer protein bars or anything similar that’ll offer more sustenance? Bagels even?
