I hate to admit that food is almost becoming a luxury: factoring that a few groceries are being sold at exuberant prices.
A single tomato in Kenya goes for about $0.19 from $0.12 and a kilogram costs upto $0.77. A 100kg crate upped from ~$50 to ~$140. Considering currency differences this is pinch for the common person here in Kenya.
What groceries have gone up in your country?
I crossed salt and oil.. and i bought 6 pack of amstel but that is already gone..
Lidl had Happy Hour today, so with Lidl Plus there was a 10% discount on everything.
Got this from a small rural farm nearby. Pasture-raised cattle, their own butchering, homemade sausages, etc. Yeah, supermarket meat would've been cheaper, but the quality here is just different imo.

Drank one Tšiki soda on my way back home, because it was hot outside (21°C). I also tried that vegan Nutella two days ago, it was surprisingly good, but OG is imo still the best. Sumena is a small chain of grocery stores in Estonia that sells goods which are near or past their "best before" date.
Actually 95,56 Euro because I get 6% discount on gift cards with that store.
Had some non-essentials here with €14,95 for the 5 cream cheese filled mini-peppers, and the 12 Krapfen(hard to pass on them for 20 cents each, will put most of them in my freezer), the chocolate was bought as presents for my nieces and nephews. Most of the items were on sale. The KÄSE-LEBERKÄSE had several discounts applied as seen on the receipt, 4,49 Euro per kg is pretty decent for ready to eat cheese-meat-loafs I'd say. Could have bought cheaper tomatoes but I like them to have at least some taste so 3,79 for 1kg was fine.
Prices in Austria in general are high, unless you buy smart at discount stores(like this one) and choose offers. We're getting a booklet full of special offers every week, it's crazy but you have to play the game or you'll pay too much.
Friday night food shopping is my super bowl to score major deals. I have a loaded pantry, three freezers, and a sub zero fridge so I’m well stocked with ancillary and backup products. I pretty much only shop sales and buy store brand when I’m not picky. I have breads, fruits and veggies left over from last week. I’ll also hit BJs. tomorrow to get more milk and a few other items. The S&S meal deal gets you ribs, and then the rolls, Mac and cheese, corn and bbq sauce are free. I always check circulars and I do well at ShopRite if I can wait til Sunday when the sales start.
$96 total after $73 in savings, had a $10 coupon from Go points which was nice bc i tend to forget to load those deals to my card
should add: family of 4 (two preteen boys)
