But it's really not.
Food costs less here than in most comparable economies, particularly given we are an island who import (far too) much.
Look up the cost of a dozen eggs in the US, or pretty much any groceries in australia.
Someone posted a xmas shopping list they found from more than 20 years ago on here the other week - nearly all the items were a very similar price, some even LESS than the comparable versions are now - even BEFORE you took in the cost of inflation. That is insane.
I'm not trying to diminish the fact that some people are struggling, or that some costs have gone up a lot in a comparatively short space of time, but people really need to go by actual facts not how they 'feel'. Constantly moaning about the cost of food means that, for example, it gradually becomes impossible for local farmers to run viable businesses, which means we get more and more poor grade meat and dairy and veg shipped halfway across the world, and cuts in ethical standards.
Stuff like meat SHOULD be expensive, it's an animal that has to be raised and ideally fed something better than cheap slurry that then ends up in our bodies.
It's also risky because people need to know that food could absolutely go up far more, and start budgeting for that - we've already had the impact of one extremely hot summer, which will have a knock on effect for food for the rest of the year and next - more and more experts are predicting the chances of El Nino for next year which will do the same. If you think stuff is expensive now, come back to this thread next year.
Which is why it IS relevant that so many people have highlighted that OP could have got the same items elsewhere (and easily, nobody is suggesting she milks her own cows or distills oils or travels for miles to the local farm shop, literally every small town has a home bargains now) for far cheaper. At some point people have to take personal responsibility - if you choose convenience over cost that's a decision YOU have made.
