Can i vent about something real quick?
It’s been sitting on my spirit since last week.
so i went to the store last week since i was running low on food.
i picked up a few things that i needed and it was about 10 or so items.
i didn’t want to spend too much money so i went for essentials.
it was enough for me to go to the 12 items of less lane.
so i get there,
they rang up all my shit and foxhole…
THE WHOLE BILL CAME TO 10O DOLLARS
this is how i looked as security had to carry me out.
i had to look at what i bought and wonder how this little came to that much.
it legit pissed me tf off because i was stretching the money i do have.
i have friends talking about taking on a second job.
i’m like wtf?
so when cardi b,
who is rich af,
shares the same sentiment on how expensive it is to eat:
Naaaaaa grocery shopping prices are ridiculous right now ????You might as well eat outside !!

like she said…
Is it cheaper to eat out?
i ain’t even gonna cap but that had me vex the whole weekend.
the bad part is that i needed more food.
SMMFH.
i asked my family to help me cause i needed a few dollas last month.
they said they would send me something and nothing.
thats why i was silent this weekend.
i just was…
ugh.
Don’t tell anybody but I’ve been considering going back to that guy who wanted to take care of me.
It’s disgusting out here with these prices!
I only got a Christmas gift for my niece because kids need the holidays. WHEW!
^ the perfect season for gold digging and hooking tbh.
all the sexy males are escorting or only fansing.
they know wassup.
I don’t have the body for that “if you got it flaunt it”. He only wants me because I’m not ran through.
I lowkey would rather struggle than let a man say he “made me”. So for now, holding out.
But this time next year…who knows.
My dear COSTCO HAS DOUBLED the cost of the same stuff I bought last year that have shrunk in size by a few ounces. I cannot
^ you know it’s bad when costco is trying to flim flam.
that use to be the place you could get a bucket of ice cream in bulk for a lesser price.
we cannot even think of trying to deal with another pandemic atm.
I do Amazon fresh and yes it’s crazy I used to have to force myself to spend $50 for free shipping now I’m spending $68 easily
^yeah i do instacart and it’s a mess when it comes to price.
No it’s ten times more expensive to order out lmaooo. Delivery charges and etc have increased. I stay away from supermarket. I go to the meat market and get myself a meat package, usually about 50 or $60 dollars. Since it’s just me the meats will last about a month. I only get my sides from the market and just cook. Cooking makes my meals last longer and etc. The regular supermarket sells food at inflated prices, especially the meats.
^ i feel like uber eats use to send me coupons like crazy last year.
they acting mad stingy now smh.
i try to cook my meals and stretch them these days.
every day i thank GAWD i don’t have kids.
they are a luxury nowadays with these prices.
one thing i appreciate about coming from the struggle,
we know how to finagle a meal when we are in between blessings.
