    $4.00 each for a bellpepper 😮. Dont know if Washington has an Aldi, but we get some of our fruits and veggies there. It's a little cheaper than most grocery stores.

    Over here in Australia my budget for my husband and myself was $120 a year ago, now it’s $150+ I’m spending for a weeks groceries and I’m still having to go back to the shop for more items. It’s hard to buy organic here as well without the price tag for most things but I’m trying my best in small ways. At the moment our top 2 chains of grocery stores are in big big trouble with the consumers commission about advertising cheap prices over the last year but actually reducing them a little then putting them back up in price and taking it back to the original price claiming it’s a “price drop”. So hopefully there’s a little justice in this sense!

    Grocery stores near the home just 10-15mins away are very expensive, Nuggets, Safeway & Rainey’s. Walmart & WinCo’s are cheaper to shop at & are 20-30 mins away. Food chain products by train will be stop Monday tonight, grocery stores will have a problem on the containers for delivery here in Sacramento

    Organic has always been pricier, but yesssss! We spend at least $100 more with the same stuff we always get! Pay attention, we are getting less for more! Mind you there are the occasional savers BUT when $200 doesn’t fill your trunk anymore. We have a problem, esp people with big families or whom cook at home all the time. It’s tough out there!

    The price of Bell peppers in my country in Sabah, Malaysia is equally expensive. Though I noticed there are some supermarkets are selling slightly cheaper than the rest. Groceries cost these days have definitely doubled for me. The same goes for chicken meat.
    Eating out these days are considered a luxury because of the crazy prices are being charged at restaurants.

  • @4BluDolphins
    @4BluDolphins Місяць тому +1

    Well, I live in California…I buy mostly organic, being a creature of habit, I buy the same thing every 2 weeks…With slight variation….I do not buy any junk food….Just fresh produce, fresh chicken and sometimes beef….Whole grains, dried beans….
    And I noticed the last 2 months I have actually spent less. My budget is $225 a month…normally all is spent. But in Aug - Sept…I ended up with $35 in Aug and $47 in Sept left over. So it was a WIN-WIN for me.

    I honestly don’t look at prices when I grocery shop, I try to buy quality organic food and feel what I pay is good or at least decent. I live in Los Angeles and feel the most expensive items for me would be fruit, mostly strawberries for some odd reason. We didn’t even have a great strawberry season 😩

    Groceries where I live are so expensive, I don't even bother grocery shopping. At this moment its cheaper to eat out (household of 2). For organic bell peppers where I live, its $7-8 for one. For just one week of groceries for 2, I was spending about $160-180 a week.
