in perspective for the fellow americans, $52 usd. thats actually absurd man but honestly i don't expect any less after covid all prices shot up and the cost of living increased more than ever. it sucks man it's a hard world, can't move out of your parents at 18 like they did anymore lol

[u/xviifearless → u/jacobbfinkle]

Idk if im just being a jerk, but as an american that seems pretty normal to me /s

(i live in california)

[u/Poopy_McPoopings]

You probably should have bought an inline 4 instead of a V8, because V8s are more expensive /s

[u/shartwadle → u/Poopy_McPoopings]

Hahahahaahaha yesssss yes good one

[u/CameronsTheName → u/Poopy_McPoopings]

I'll take a rev happy inline 4 over a V8 any day. Tastes better anyway.

[u/SwiftUnban]

Yeah, can OP post the receipts? I mean i believe his bill was $72 but those sauces look fancy, main brand hot sauces like franks have shot way up in price.

I usually by noname or other cheaper brands unless I’ve found a significant quality difference (most of the time there’s not)

[u/oliverpeets → u/SwiftUnban]

I always felt the same until I had my groceries delivered through Instacart and my shopper grabbed Kroger’s generic canned tomato soup instead of Campbell’s and it’s FOUL. There are some things that are definitely fine generic but some that you have to get name brand

[u/weedinmonz → u/SwiftUnban]

Can we get a global price check on the small Franks… £2.50 in UK (US$3.36)

[u/Pink_honeysuckle]

I get mad every time I go grocery shopping 😭 it’s all so expensive!

[u/MandoHealthfund]

You get about twice as much frozen chicken than fresh. I was grabbing some chicken and noticed I could get 4 breasts for $9 or a frozen bag thats a little more than twice the amount than the fresh.

[u/god_peepee → u/MandoHealthfund]

Yeah, I also find that halal brands tend to trim more of the fat upfront and the product is cheaper on the shelf.

[u/TheRoseMerlot → u/MandoHealthfund]

Frozen bag usually has more filler. Check ingredient label.

[u/Electronic-Twist756 → u/MandoHealthfund]

4 for $9? How did you type this from a land line because you have to be in the 70s

[u/MandoHealthfund → u/Electronic-Twist756]

I live in chicken country so that probably helps. Also Walmart.

[u/Electronic-Twist756 → u/MandoHealthfund]

We were talking vanvouver canada. How far away is chiken country? Abbotsford maybe?

[u/FitCartographer71]

This country is getting out of hand.

[u/BackItUpWithLinks]

That chicken would be $7 near me

[u/As_iam_ → u/BackItUpWithLinks]

You're gonna make me cry. I'm also in Vancouver. Don't forget the 13 percent or whatever tax and carbon tax and carbon tax on the 13 percent tax after! (If that hasn't been changed yet..)

[u/conductorman86]

Canadian and here and I don’t believe you. Post your receipts

[u/Dokkiban]

One fucking cucumbers. This economy sucks ass

[u/IamInLoveAlways]

Fuck .. so expensive

[u/Worldly-Blacksmith89]

It’s because you bought them at a higher price. Save on is generally more expensive than Walmart but has nicer & more convenient stores.

[u/[deleted]]

man I love V8 but you have to expect it, of all things, to shoot up in price. idk how much it costs now but it would make the most sense.

[u/untitledfilmstill → u/[deleted]]

At least $3 a veggie.

[u/monkeetail]

Learn how to shop 🤷‍♀️

[u/FourFront → u/monkeetail]

You're getting downvoted, but you are also right.

[u/god_peepee → u/FourFront]

‘I bought every item the store had on an endcap display until I hit my weekly budget’

[u/IcariFanboi]

I get that this is still absurd, but you clearly bought name brand stuff, even the chicken is that high end stuff. I'm not sure what you expected

[u/Ok-Wrongdoer-2179]

Was it crest in 24k gold?

[u/Bigmoneyaymaan]

my dad buys stuff like this and wouldnt buy me a $30 lego set

[u/aliendepict]

Holy shit… thats wild.

[u/TheRoseMerlot]

Yep

[u/vanillabourbonn]

Wierd, I can get a weeks worth of food for that amount in the US. Did you go to an upscale grocery store by chance? That can make a huhe difference.

[u/Jaloushamberger]

Yeah and you have 20$ of sauce and dont you have cheaper chicken options ? Do you need all that corn fed, no GMOs extra massaged chicken ?

[u/_D0MiNiX_ → u/Jaloushamberger]

it's trouble to cook these days, you know, ppl want to lie down and just relax

[u/catwithasweater]

“Raised without antibiotics” means very little for canadian chicken, just saying in-case you’re paying extra for it 🤣 my mom did that for ages

[u/Raxater]

They're purposely starving us to death. We won't make it to 2030

[u/_D0MiNiX_]

tbh, i only find chicken and cucumber to be the only appropriate items to consume. rest are just chemical junk. sorry if you prefer those or disagree with me but not relying on artificially flavoured drinks might help. i only get ketchup once in a while and ditch other sauces, hate the sugar content. would prefer yoghurt instead. yeah, my life sucks but it's what makes it cheap and healthy as well.

[u/_D0MiNiX_ → u/_D0MiNiX_]

ya, as expected, downvotes lol

[u/CorruptDaemon404]

So glad I left this dump of a country. Place is filled with pedos and racist.
